Grateful

As a citizen of Singapore born in the 90s, I opened my eyes to a secure roof the moment my life begun, a safe land, a clean environment, a family who loves me, and so much more. So much that I had taken things for granted because I had thought these were always there.

Because everyone here is so fortunate. and the fact for us human beings, is that the more we have, the harder it is for us to be content. Even when we already have so much, we complain that they aren't good enough.
It is all thanks to LKY that we have what we have today. That we do not have the worries some other countries are still facing up to now. That we unknowingly live in the luxury many others do not own.

Today I am truly surprised and moved to see that many people queuing to pay their respect for our beloved founding father of Singapore, Mr Lee Kuan Yew. Of course not surprised by the fact that he deserves it, but the patience and kindness of all who willingly queued without complains for insane hours under the hot sun, many even offered food and drinks to strangers who were queuing with them. I am so freaking impressed with Singaporeans!!!

Out of topic but it seems like Singaporeans love queues. Wherever there is sales, free stuffs, and new cool shit, there is bound to be long queue! and... you will definitely not find me in it LOL. Because sorry I do not possess that much patience.

Anyway, another thing I wanted to talk about in this post is that, I cannot understand why some people enjoy pulling people down so much. Criticisms are thrown around so carelessly everywhere it's so hurting. Especially those who hide behind the screens and gives harsh comments to people they do not like. The ANTIS. Who are you to criticise? Are you better than them? Even if you are, give advices, not criticism. It shows how low you actually are!

For those who contributed to anything regardless to society or to someone else, for those who worked harder than anyone of us, or in fact for every single living thing that is trying their best, they deserve to be appreciated. Nobody's perfect, no two person would have exact same view and opinion in every single thing. There is bound to be conflict at a point of time, as long as they aren't harmful it's fine isn't it? Different preferences, different opinions, different thoughts. We are all born uniquely. Therefore it is important to embrace differences, be flexible enough to see from another angle. There is so much that we can learn from.
Say if in the end you are still unable to accept the differences, there is no need to bring them down.
Just freaking move on man.

Like our parents who forced healthy vegetables diet on us when we were kids, we may have hated it but it was "For Our Own Good". We may or may not like what others did for us, but the point is that they did it for us with good intentions. The fact that someone cares for you, that is enough to prove how fortunate you are. Appreciate.
