A Pondering Post

it just suddenly made me wonder. why do people only realise sth is important to them after they lost it?

isit supposedly a natural instinct? perhaps we as humans are really complacent. from young we were always taught to tell ourselves, let's be contented, we should be thankful we have this, we have that. but do u know that we only say it and NOT practice it? We are NOT sensitive to the things that are happening around us. femine, disasters, drought, etc. Many times, we tell ourselves that but we really ARE NOT contented and thankful for what we have. sometimes i look around, looking at the way kids envy each other, snatching toys and stuff. the only reason why they did that was a sign of desire, the feeling of having superiority over one another. they don't say it, but we see it. so was it a humanly instinct? it keeps me wondering. i admit i nv stopped wanting gd grades, gd life, gd everything, who don't?

it's hard to feel contented with your own life unless u cut urself off from the rest of the world, from technology, from new inventions, everything that seems to make our lives simpler. the thought of wanting more IS an ADDICTION, isnt it? As humans, we never stop our cravings, our temptations, our desires, our ambitions, our.....

it never once came to a stop.

Think abt this. what if u were living down a street 100 years ago. what could they have wanted? simple stuffs. they want to live. that's probably what common peasants would desire. right? and look around now, teenagers, adults, whoever... taking their own lives. why? cos they couldn't accept failure, they didn't noe how to solve a problem or whatever other reason they could have. What right do they have to take their lives. what made think that THEY SHOULD TAKE THEIR OWN LIVES? i really wonder.

to all christians, what if one day, GOD stands in front of you and say, 'Come with me, leave everything behind, and you shall find Greatness in Me'

How many of us would have the courage to leave behind our worldly pleasures, being EMPTY HANDED, and follow Him? are we prepared for the arrival of this day? i myself, am not sure. =)

think abt it...
