Life as it is today is nothing like the Bliss wallpaper that comes with the Windows XP OS. It’s full of rocks, mudslides, typhoons and other calamities. On top of that you’ve got to survive it because that’s your world. You’ve got nowhere else to go. Here is where you belong.
Each morning you wake up, the fresh morning air is soon interrupted with the foul smell of fuel from the school bus below, its engine growling away. The bird chirping outside your window soon flies away as your mother suddenly yelled for you to wake up and fetch the paper from outside even though she’s been going in and out of the house countless times already. With life being such a drag, I wonder what it’s like when I grow up. Will I have a tyrannical boss? Or perhaps I would have a slave driver for a manager and a backstabber for a colleague? You may think that those kind of people that looks at the bottle as half empty. However, isn’t this true? I mean, look around you is this not what you see?
The bleak path ahead of me seems to have no end. How much more can I endure, is to only trudge along this solitary path and find out.
Some say though, that this is the life now. From the bleak and overcast sky to the crowded trains and buses during rush hours, all these seem to add up to equation of living life. If that is so, why are we traveling to places that promise clear blue skies and cool green fields to relax? Because we’ve got nothing else better to spend it on? It could be very well spent on medication when you’re old and not ready to die just yet.
