Human Nature
I wonder how the human mind works. After a few years of analyzing people and their behaviour, i have come to a conclusion that the human mind is indeed shallow, for many. Many of the people i analyzed, including myself, know how to think about what is right for us but we dont act the way that is supposed to be right for us.
For instance, passions n desires certainly make oneself forget reality or how they should be, not saying that what they do/did are wrong, but let us take into consideration of how long we have been in this world. People often say that as we grow older, we grow mature. Many of my friends, im not excluding myself because i have been stupid as well, tend to do more 'you-are-not-supposed-to-do' things in life rather than doing the good/beneficial things as they grow.
For me, i have lived for 20 years, a fifth of a century. Most of my friends are in the range of 18-22 years old, somewhere near my age group. Realising it is already 20 years, what have i achieved in life? A good friend? I hope so. A good son? Hope it's on the way. A good being to my religion? Not yet. In terms of education and wealth, barely there.
Lets go a little bit more in depth of the detrimental things i think people should not do. Cigarettes, everyone knows it harms you and the people around you. Not only that, it is expensive. Some of my friends adopt the habit recently, why? I have no idea. I picked up smoking a few years back and till now, my conclusion is I started it for fun and now im stuck. But im trying to quit though. Alcohols, it harms u too as u grow older and again, not saying that i dont drink, i do occasionally. So i wonder why do we drink or smoke? To get the 'high' feeling after drinking? Relieved after smoking? Again, some of my friends picked up this habit when a year ago, they dont drink or smoke. And again...... I emphasize, it is costly. Into drugs and medications, some of my friends are misusing them for self-pleasure. Boring i know, again my friends picked up the habit some time ago and again... Im not excluding myself just that i have tried to stop if some of you have not realised. And for the third time, this activity burns a hole in your pocket.
Now, let us snap back to reality about how much time and money we have wasted doing those unnecessary activities. A stick of singapore cigarette, five minutes to smoke, $0.50 on average. A can of alcohol, fifteen minutes to drink, $5.00-$10.00. Drugs and medications, one minute to consume, 3 hours of time wasted, $10.00-$30.00. How much time and money could have been saved over a year, you decide.
So now my friends, many of you have used your mind and intelligence to think about what is right, now use your heart n soul to act on it, for it's not too late. To whom i asked what is becoming of you and you answered being a typical teenager, think again. You should have been a typical teenager during the start of your teen life not towards the end of your teen life. One more year and you're not a teen anymore, remember.
Think far my friends, for there is a lot to achieve in this world. Don't let desires hold u back. Thank you for reading this-is-so boring entry for i have been woken up by some unpleasant thoughts about my past. And again, i start to wonder, why do some people love to point out/think about others' bad behaviour especially in the past but not the effort he/she have put in to change for the better in the present? Definitely, maybe, it is just Human Nature.
