Nothing

It seems that just sometimes, the more we go after something, the more we lose sight of those things that matter more. And being human beings, the things we tend to pursue are mere materialistic items. C'mon, which one us don't? And how many of us care more for worldly matters? To begin with, man is selfish. Everything begins with "I" before all else, isn't it? It's just that along the way, the experiences that we amassed, the lessons that we gained, mould us into what we eventually are. But this state doesn't remain definite. We continue to change, to evolve...or even mutate into something that is so unlike us to begin with. Such is the diversity amongst man. The good and the bad.

Our aims change over time. Our goals deviate from what we set out to do. But never for one moment do we stop going after things..sometimes albeit blindly. It's cliche, but true. We never know what we have, we never treasure what we have, until it's too late, until it's lost. Instead, the one thing in our mind is only to lament about what we don't have. THen again, if man isn't greedy, we shall not see progress. If not for want, we may never see improvement. We shall all live in poverty. But will we be happy? We shall all be one and the same level. Who is to say one is of a lower strata than the other? So will discrimination still exist?

The popular vs the unwelcomed. The smart vs the slow-witted. The skin-deep beauty vs the physically-revolting. The fat vs the thin. The gifted vs the spastic. The rich vs the poor. The educated vs the unschooled.

I've always believed that there are two sides to a coin. Every coin. Where there's bad, there's an equal good combating it. Such is the balance of the scale. You just need to look hard enough. I've always lived my life by that principle. THat's perhaps nature's way of making life fair. Some people just choose to focus on what he doesn't have and that others have them. The grass is always greener on the other side, isn't it? That makes life real tiring aint it? I seem to be losing that focus lately. This perhaps, will serve as a wake-up call to reality, for myself.
