Its easy to see
others' happiness.
Its nature to want to have what others have.
Yet,how often have we
see our own happiness?
our own good fortune?
Many a times,
we 'see' how others lead a good life.
But we never 'see' what lies behind the good life they are having.
Lets take a simple industrial attachment as an example.
We complain how our supervisors treat us.
We envy how our classmates/schoolmates' supervisors treat them nicely.
We complain the workload we have.
We envy those who have little workload and have more freedom.
We complain how pathetic our allowance is..
We envy those who are paid for the 6 months.
YET.
Everything comes with a price.
There's nothing that is free in the world.
Those who have more pay, their supervisors tend not to treat them well. Those who have lesser pay, their supervisors tend to be better. Those who have more freedom, their workload is heavier and tougher. Those who have lesser freedom, their workload is lighter and not that stressful.Didn't we learn and hear it ever now and then.
But yet, we chose to ignore it.
We wish..
We hope..
We envy..
And.. the result?
We start thinking how our attachment sucks..
How others are having a good time with their attachment while here we are dreading every moment of it.
Think...
Ponder..
Is there really nothing good that comes out of your attachment?
I only have one suggestion.
Stop, and look around you.
Look at the beautiful sky.
and read my words carefully.
There
are
far
more
important
things
for
us
to
worry.
Understand?
I'm not directing this to anyone in particular... Just hope people would be more thoughtful..
The next time you complain about your pay, think whether the person listening is having a lower pay than you?
The next time you complain about your workload, think if the person listening is also having the same amount or even greater workload than you?
The next time you complain about your supervisor, think if he/she is really that bad?
