Getting Comfy
War has started in Iraq and one thing really bothers me..lots of Singaporeans remain ignorant to the situation..One moron on TV actually said he was more worried about his stocks and shares!! And i'm pretty certain he is not alone, i'll pretty sure that lots of students are more concerned about their grades..afterall, what happens in Iraq will never happen here right? Well, i guess that's what Americans would have told you before that fateful September 11 as well..
Sometimes i wonder if we are all too comfortable in our lives.. the danger when we are in this comfort mode is, we never ever seem to snap out of it..we always know we have to change, we always know we have to improve, we always seem to know what to do but we almost always end up not moving a muscle.. I know my life is filled with lots of comfort zones i wish to get out of - i need to improve my attitude towards my work, i need to focus more on my part time degree (no use having a degree but with average grades all over!), i need to sort out my feelings in my love life, i need to do a lot of things but needing is not enough, i also need the will to..
Then again, a need is something we require to survive and a want is something we aquire to pamper ourselves with.. I was on the bus the other night and this ran through my head.. I realised that sometimes, "want"s are as important as "need"s.. Just like we wish to be loved by someone who wants to love us..not just because he/she needs to! Life is realy one big contradiction and sometimes we really need to sort out what we want! Comfort zones are always nice but life moves on, life improves..and if we get stuck in our little world too long, we will still be our comfort zones no doubt, but we will also be stuck in the past tense..
Just a few random thoughts from a messed up mind..
