( I forgot to blog this one. Good thing I rummaged through my notes. I wrote this when I was still in Manila few months ago. Another dramatic moments.) What's new!
It’s hard to admit that sometime in our lives we are losing hope. When we are struck by immeasurable pain of tragedy, we cry and kneel in defeat. It’s hard to deny from people that behind our smiles and laughter, there hides a lonely and miserable soul. We cannot deceive others from the pain that we are feeling inside. Why?
Because each one of us shed a tear for the same reason. It may happen in different ways but still it’s the same pain and suffering that everyone has faced. Maybe this is one thing that makes us human – enduring the same misery.
There are times when I thought that I was so unlucky to experience the worst things in my life. I never realized that there are people out there who are suffering more than I am. Well when you are in so much pain, you will no longer notice what’s happening around you.
How could it be that a soul with good intentions is the one to suffer the most?
There are truths and even lies in this world that remain to be a mystery. Even if we try to figure it out the answers wouldn’t jus come out.
I am afraid of becoming selfish because I wouldn’t want other people to cry and be hurt out of selfishness. But at times I thought of becoming selfish. I wouldn’t deny that sometime in my life I wanted to be selfish. But I can’t.
I don’t want to see myself in victory out of stealing happiness from others.
Maybe this is what makes me human.
Searching for my own happiness and the happiness of others.
reading your blog reminded me of a conversation i just had with a friend earlier today. that when we are in pain, in sorrow, we think we are the unluckiest person on earth. and because of what we are experiencing at the moment, we think hope is unreachable. and yes, you're right, there are people out there who have bigger problems and deeper pains than we do, yet, we never know nor see that because we are so consumed with our own emotion. but because we are only human, it is but normal to feel defeated when we feel we can't arise against circumstances that we are presently experiencing. and there are truths out there, gold. and answers to lies. it is just a matter of figuring it out. :)
