Don't Ever Give Up
Thursday, May 6, 2010 @

When I ask people questions
I will start thinking what kind of replies they will give.

Whether they are truthful replies
or just a fake one to get rid of my question.

I also feel that many of my friends
probably think that I'm way too emo or sensitive.

Honestly speaking, I do feel that but I don't really care.
Maybe that's the way I am born to be?

I've seen how my mom struggled to bring this family together.

I've hear many things that disheartened me most of the time.

Things that I verbally don't agree with
but deep in my heart I know I do.

Because I just can't accept the fact that
certain nice people turned out to be this or that.

I will even clarify to ask about the person's past
to ensure that whatever I've heard are facts.

Maybe I sound like I gossip so much.
But to say the truth, these kind of stories make me see things better.

I'm not trying to say that I'm the most unfortunate person in life.
I know how much I hate it when people talk that way.

People can say you shouldn't think so much
and just live your own life
you will be so much happier that way.
I agree. I really do.

People can ask you why you bother so much
it really can't be helped
I understand. I really do.

Because maybe you guys had try to help but
there really just isn't any solution.
I've reached that stage before and even had that thought.

But have we ever thought that
if all of us were to behave that way
nothing is going to change?

I'm not saying I'm going to be the hero and save this world.
I won't and I will never be.
But put it simply

If I never bothered, who else will?

You know maybe the weirdest thing people do unknowingly
is to follow what others do?

We can all follow a trend but never knew how that came about
We can say it makes us feel comfortable that's why

But the actual fact is that
It's because everyone's doing it so we think its fine
and hence we think it's 'comfortable'.

That trend is fine.
but why only along the luxury line then it becomes a trend.

What about "bothering about things that truly needs attention"
becoming a trend?
Why isn't it becoming a trend instead?

Of course there is only one answer to this.
Because we are all humans.
Classic.

Truly I understand that it's easier said than done.
it's never easy for these kind of issues.
But why do we always give up at that end?
Why?

Tired of reading what I've wrote?
Sorry i shall say.
But I'm just trying to voice out my opinions.
Because as I speak, the world is still dying.
Like I mentioned, easier said than done isn't it?

Even when I think about all these sensitive issues.
I don't just emo over them. In fact I don't.
I will take them as lessons and then tell myself
to be optimistic and that there are ways I could make a difference.

You know why I always think about all these so-called emo things?
Because being optimistic doesn't change the fact that these things happened.
I want myself to always remember them, to accept them.
Because when I don't, it's just the same as being bo chap.

I want myself to know that because all these are happening
someday perhaps I, or even We, can still make a difference.

Again
as I speak, I'm not being a hero here.
I just hate the feeling of sitting around
and watching or hearing things happened when
you seem to know that we could have made a difference.

When will we ever see that
instead of making people more selfish because of a need for survival
with technology advancements
we should pause and look back
how we could have done turned things around.

Give it some thoughts.
And so will I.
