inferiority complex. unfortunately, we all suffer that every once in a while.

we look around us, and then we belittle ourselves. suddenly, we dont seem so tall anymore.

we arent that good looking anymore.
we arent that rich anymore.
our cars are way too small.
our neighbourhoods arent posh enough.
you want that wallet.
you want that bag.
you want that height.
you want that smile.
you want those legs.
you want that complexion.

envy overwhelms..

and suddenly....

we arent good enough.
for whatever.

isnt this a sad sad world?

but you know, dwelling in some self pity is ok here and there.
but overindulgence... you're in danger.
cause that might leave you... i dont know.. bitter?

time to get things back to perspective....

1. you dont have to find your cane each time you leave the house because you're blind.
2. you can hear your loved ones voices clearly, or and favourite tunes.
3. you dont have to go into prostitution because your family has no money.
( do you know, in a certain country which i shall not mention, girls as young as 6 are introduced to the world of prostitution so as to cater to paedophiles)
4. you dont have terminal illnesses.
5. you are not an orphan.
6. you dont have to drink ditch water
7. you dont have to dig through dumps to find shirts... dont even talk about kenneth cole..
8. you have mummies who love you.

hmmm.

you know, when you think this way..

i think each of us will feel more than blessed.

how about using this train of thought for a new year huh?
