Jem's Babbles

The fragility of literally everything should seek to make this knowledge registered. Everyone knows that nothing lasts forever, yet human nature has almost been created to contradict this, given the unsavoury attitude that is adopted.

Over night, someone out there may have lost his life. And most of the time, this doesnt affect us directly. When we hear of it, typical response is oh man that's so sad. And then we just carry on our lives because the news was of no impact at all. But who can blame us? It's not a question about lack of empathy or sensitivity, or selfishness or pointing fingers at human's flaw.

And this does not only apply to lives. Relationships can break over night, a moment of folly could riddle you with guilt almost forever, a wrong move could lead to a chain of chaos, a mistake resulting in disappointment. Or today could be the last day you can ever talk to your friend face to face before she migrates forever. Or someone could be leaving your life for good for some reason whatsoever.

But the world keeps revolving, and sometimes we all just wish that maybe the world could stop in time, or even better, go back in time. Or just stop revolving altogether. And we wish that the world can share with us our misery. But of course, that does not happen.

But do we really wish for that? Look at the 911 disaster. That definitely left an impression on the world. Affected millions. Even far away continents. But it couldnt touch the core of hurt to those who didnt witness its consequences firsthand.

At the end of the day, the only thing that does not change is that everything changes. And everyone changes. And what can you do. Blame it on everyone else? Or depend on yourself? It is only you who can have control over savouring every moment, or taking everyone else for granted. Or you can be the one who makes an attempt to be a good person, or sneer at the world for being such a shit hole.

Big girls take care of their own shit.
