Remark: Blogger did not allow me to write too long title, so it is actually supposed to say good instead of okei. And I would like to dedicate this blog to Martin, the one who has always supported me. Okei, here we go !
We have no right to complain over our simple lives. Yes, they get hard every once in a while, but every person is going through many things through one lifetime. And why do we presume that we are special, when there are still people who suffer more because they are hungry or do not have fresh drinking water (and no way it is going to change with this attitude!).
When I was younger, I used to complain about everything. If my sister took my shoes, or if the school system was against me, or if I had to do things I did not like. If something was not right, I simply was not happy. Maybe I am a spoiled brat, but in the end, I changed something. And that was because I knew that I was complaining too much and had to get rid of it, if I wish to live as a normal human being. And besides, my parents did not appreciate me being winey all the time. And in the end I had to respect myself and them. So, that is why I removed myself from my society and country, my parents and friends. At first, I was complaining even more, but in the end I got used to the new situation. I saw a world with a new pair of eyes – through realistic and a little bit pinkish glasses J I had a widened view of the world and I started to realize that there is not only me in the center of everything.
The reason, why I wanted to write about this topic, is the fact that the point when I realized that I really am blessed, then why can’t I contribute something to the world. There are many people nowadays, who have the brains to do something more with what they have been given, instead of complaining even more. Many famous examples are The Venus project and Jacque Fresco, the Zeitgeist project. A few days ago I saw a short movie KONY, which turns the world into a new direction of making good by making Joseph Kony famous (so go watch the movie and write KONY everywhere. Seriously!!!). It is amazing what people can do – all we have to realize is that WE HAVE THE POWER TO DO EVERYTHING.
So why do we still keep hiding in our dark room and think that the world has done all the bad things, and simply don’t want any part in it? Are we seriously complaining more than taking action into our own hands? And the KONY project is done by young people, how come us, older people think that our life is hard? We need to start growing up…
And we need to start seeing the bigger picture.
I guess there will come a point in everyone’s life, when we need to make a decision. For me it was by coming to a foreign country and learning everything by myself. By the way, I even didn’t know how to cook back then. And now I can make a number of dishes, but I know I have still a lot to learn. It was hard at first, but I have managed so far and I refuse to give up on cooking and on life. Who knows, if I continue, I might do something good instead of crying about hard shit happening to me all the time. It all depends whether I hide from life or take it with every possible sense I had been given.
But I have learned the most valuable lesson in life, which I can say to anyone who dares to complain and remind myself this all the time: it does not matter where you come from. We are all so called “victims” of different cultures, society, environment and life itself. What really matters is what you can do about it and how you choose to live. And one day you have to crawl out of the den anyway and see that there is much more to the world than shit. Yes, there is shit too every once in a while. But if you survive coming out of the shit which just happened to be at your way, you can manage anything… absolutely anything. (Then you already know ;)
So, if you are a healthy human being and just complaining about simple things, you might want to rethink your values in life.
