What Do You Want?

What do I really want from my life? How do you know if you want it? Or do you want to run from it?
By the time we're old enough to make our own choices, most of us don't even know what we want. We've been going with the flow, following the rules, and drinking the Kool-Aid for so long that we've lost touch with our own deepest desires.
What's worse----we don't even know that we don't even know what we want.

it's normal, it's not that bad...considering what kind of environment and world that we're living in..that's normal...

think...and imagine if you're those kid who're born in Africa...or the infamous Iraq...can you imagine now? imagine you're this little gal in Iraq now..

You're 10 years old..you're now standing in front of a seriously damaged house due to the bombing 3 days ago.. You couldn't find your mom, you don't understand why this is happening..

You are hungry, you're tired, you couldn't find your family members.. you're worried, but now...you're extremely hungry, you don't know where to find food..all you want now is... food...then maybe look for your parents..

ok..done..you can come back to this world now..

my point is.. people find out what they want in time, with the current situation, current thinking, current environment.

It's good that you realise that it's a problem, and you should find out what you want.
It's good that you do not need to worry about basic things so that you have the time and luxury to think about higher level need.

now...you just need to spend time to learn, and to find out.. as we are learning, we increase our capacity of knowledge and make better understand for ourself as well as better decision making..

also..take it easy..don't feel too bad for yourself.. compare to this world..we're really really tiny...
