manusia kadang2...actually selalu fikir yang mereka boleh mengubah dunia, mampu mencipta satu budaya baru menggantikan yang sedia ada. paling common, manusia at least fikir yang mereka boleh melindungi family. worse case scenario, to change the world. well for sure mereka mahukan family yang lebih bahagia, dan dunia yang lebih aman, tanpa sebarang isu kemasyarakatan, politik, peperangan dan sebagainya. hakikatnya ramai antara kita yang sangat2 ambitious sehingga mampu berfikiran jauh seperti itu. but you know what? history has proved that nobody has ever succeeded in doing any of those. as the matter of fact, things got worse!
take example of Mother Teresa. she might be has inspired so many people into doing some very noble things for humanity. she helped so many people during the time of her life. but did it last for long? sadly to say, the answer is NO! i still remember when i was a kid, my teacher blew a balloon and wrote "SELF ESTEEM" on the side of it and put it on the wall. she told us that we are all like that balloon. If we didn’t
have any self esteem, we would only be limp and small and sad. Everyone else
seemed really inspired, but it didn’t click very well with me. Watching that
balloon on the wall deflate a little bit each day until it withered away…I felt
that self esteem didn’t do much other than make people falsely large for a
little while. But no one else seemed to notice. Everyone kept going along their
short little lives, puffed up with their self esteem, getting smaller and
smaller each day. truth is, those kind of thinking inspires more and more people to thinking and doing things that they can't actually do! isn't that insane???
What
I hate the most are those idealistic people who think they can change the
world. Behind all those grand ideas of a better life, I think they’re just
desperate to be remembered. Desperate to keep their withering balloons filled
so they can feel important. But things never change. No matter how hard you
fight, it hardly makes a difference. One person’s life is just a drop in a
bucket. A lot of people think I’m real pessimist because I think this way, but
it doesn’t really bother me at all. It’s easier to live life if I don’t have to
worry about changing the world.
