saw this on yini's blog, so decided to rip it and talk about this interesting quote..
"Put your actions and conflicts you might have, in perspective. Would all this still matter in a day or a month? It will help you decide which fights are worth the blood and tear, and when you would be better laying off. Do not believe all the advice you receive, but neither allow yourself to ever be ignorant." - Tan Sherwayn. president's scholar 2004.
everything we do these days seem to be
out of perspective. indeed, will these things really matter in time to come? you are guilty of it, i am guilty of it. we all are guilty of it. we indulge in things too small to really matter. we need to decide, what we need to fight for and what we should let go
. fussing over small matters will get us nowhere as we go in a roundabout. people out there are suffering much more than we do and yet we moan and complain about the small things we are going through. yes. I'm one of them. complaining about my life. the way it is. how lousy it is.
but I'm learning to put things in perspective. little things like these don't matter. people all over the world are facing worse problems. poverty, hunger etc etc. i really wanna go on an ocip. to help these people. not just do something like "starve" for 30 hours. it
loses the whole meaning of a cip. we're not there just for the hours. at least I'm not.
i want to really help. to make a difference.
"It will help you decide which fights are worth the blood and tear, and when you would be better laying off"was talking to Charis last night about fighting for what you want. she told me, if i want it, i should go for it. but if i fight for what i want, what about what others want? imagine this simple scenario. A likes B. but B likes C. if A insists on B, what would poor B end up with? would B be happy? would B have what it wants? or should B fight for what it wants too?
I've decided. that
certain things aren't worth it. some things are more important than others. your happiness is more important. I'm not going to bind you down, I'm not going to insist on anything. I'm just happy with that you are the way you are. that things between us are the way it is and that you still allow me to watch over you as a friend.
fight for what you want. but put things in perspective. allow yourself to think. what really matters and which fight is worth fighting for. don't bother about things that eventually won't matter. it's just not worth it. you may just lose something that would.-hold my hand and guide me through, hold my hand and sweep me off my feet.
