The world don’t smile

 

If you don’t smile, the world will stop smiling at you. It is a give and take. People are selfish. They would try to avoid anything that will make them feel uneasy, things that will not make their day. The world is cruel. The world is not that friendly. The world will only be friendly with the person who is friendly to the world.

Take things easy as it comes. Take things easy as it goes. Take things the way it is. Just take it. We cannot control what comes to us. But we can control how to take it. Many times we take it harder than it actually comes. Why? Because it concerns with the set of value, the set of hopes, the set of aspirations that we have. We protect our territory. We guard it with fear and aggression. We just hope that we would be right at all time while we are not really bothered whether it would wrong someone; yes, as long as it is proven to us that we are right, even by ourselves, alone.

 

In search of what

In a lifetime of a man, he is always on a search, never-ending search. He thinks he will find, but when he arrives, he starts another search again, because what he thought he was looking for is really not what he is looking for. He looks to further satisfy himself.

Is satisfaction the end of the search? Satisfaction is the feeling that one obtains what he wants; what he thinks it is worth the want; what he thinks it will make him important; what he thinks it will make him unique; what he thinks the society will praise; what he thinks fits with his frame of value; and what he thinks it will end his dissatisfaction.

I, as well, am in the same trap for search. I, many times, just keep searching, open the hole, go to the corner, walk a far distance, go anywhere, but I don’t really know what I am looking for. Sometimes it is just like trying to spend all the time I have in, what I believe, a meaningful way. I search, I search, I search, but what I have been finding is just nothing. What I have found so far is rejected by my mind. It is not what I want. In fact, I don’t know what I need.  We are trapped in the world of confusion, the wants and the needs. We want so many things in life. But when we have gotten it we know really well that it is not what we need. Some times and many times, we actually know in advance that it was not we need, but we still go there and try to find.
