Sometimes, I just wanna be simple.
I think I'm not too complex. In fact I can confidently say that I am actually a very simple-minded girl. I'm easily amused (equally easily irritated as well), easily pleased, and easily bluffed to (in DT's words in mandarin, so "pen tan").
But I wanna be simpler.
Like, not to worry so much about $ and how to live my life more meaningfully. Really, these are questions I have been asking myself on a very constant basis these days. You only get to live once. Sometimes I wish you get to live like a couple of times. Just like a cat with nine lucky lives.
Say, if you are born with a silver spoon in your mouth:
- What will you be when you grow up? What kind of business would you be running?
- Who would you marry?
- How would you raise your kids with all the money that you have? Send them to government school or a private school? Lavish them with BabyGuess, X-Box and a Beemer? Or teach them values of integrity and modesty?
Ok, now say if you are born in a relatively poor family where you constantly need to worry about spending within your means:
- Just how strong or weak will you be?
- What will be your battles?
- Will you come out a loser, surrendering your fate to destiny or would you fight destiny, work hard (and smart) and come out a winner?
Wouldn't it be interesting then to be able to feel what it's like living out the other kinds of lives? For me it is. I'm curious as hell. To live only once is truly non-sufficient. But that only makes life much more interesting and precious to lose and waste.
So anyways, I really shouldn't stress myself so much with these issues. I just wanna think happy thoughts for now.
Thinking:
happy tots
