Contentment

As a rule, man's a fool.
When it's hot, they want it cool.
And when it's cool, they want it hot.
Always wanting what's not.

- Unknown Poet


When I read this I nearly laughed because it describes how I am in Japan to the T! The cool seasons are too cold for a Sunny Island girl like me and Summer there is just enough to kill. If you've read the news, some people have been killed by heat stroke in Japan just recently! Scary anot! But the bottomline is that Man are never content in whatever circumstances we're in.

Don't you get sick and tired of feeling grumpy and complaining about everything? I know I do. I'm convinced it takes twice the amount of energy to frump around than to smile and be at peace. Come on, just imagine how much energy it takes being angry VS being happy. And isn't there a saying about how it takes more muscles to smile than to frown? So we get to work our facial muscles! Say bye to flabby cheeks :D

I'm a peace-loving person (I really am!) so I guess that's probably why I have nothing much to say to complaints and grumblings. I don't mind hearing people out but when it comes to dishing advice, uh-uh, I can't do that. When the person's so swallowed up by his/her own emotions, there's a high chance they won't wanna hear any peace-loving advice. So yes, good advice always falls on deaf ears. Plus the fact that people ALWAYS want to get dramatic and be the bitchy one. All of us have an Inner Drama Queen in us I suppose.

But, we need to let our IDQ rest at some point in our lives. I get tired of dramas sometimes. I've always thought how nice our world would be if people would actually shut up and stop complaining about anything and everything. Just stuff your mouth with food man, not filth. It'll benefit you a whole lot more, really.

Disclaimer: NOT criticising anyone in particular. But I'm just tired of ingratitude and of complaints.

Sadly, it takes more than one person to change that.
