good things come in small packages.
etc.
etc.
there's really ALOT of things we should be happy about.
but i think the main reason why singaporeans are the least happy ppl in the region is because most of us, or maybe even all of us do not appreciate the things around us.
we just take them for granted.
instead of counting our blessings, we count our misfortunes.
and we tend to be "greedy" in a way.
many of us are in a state of perpetual "want".
when we get what we "want", we are still unhappy with what we have and "want" even even even MORE.
and it never ends.
we're constantly finding ways and means to upgrade our lives. make life way easier for ourselves.
in a way, its good.
but when it becomes a habit, it the good becomes bad.
singaporeans being the least happy in the region.
i guess it's all about how we view the word happiness.
do we view it in a way that its only when we have the $$$$$$$$$$ then we will be happy?
or do we view it in a way that only when we give and lend a hand to others, we'll then only be happy?
choice 1?
or choice 2?
i wouldnt deny that choice 1 is something that we all need.
we're all studying so much,
working so hard.
all these just for the sake of earning $$$$$$.
and neither would i deny that $$$$ do give us happiness at times.
but have you ever wondered?
when we die, will we ever be remembered for our possessions.
or will we instead be remembered for what we have done for others.
hms.
something good to think about.
