To suffer, is human
This just came as a thought as i saw someone pushing the trolley pass me. And it just reminded me of the constant thought that i have, that we as humans are here to suffer. I dun wanna remind of any biblical theologies, nor of any enlightenment adages. Just wanna focus on the mere thought that we are suffering here. However, there are many who are suffering much much more than the rest. How is that fair? How is it that we can almost pretend that life is good when there are still so many in Africa and other places that are barely surviving? How is it that we can all to have a good time, when we know that there are people who find living, a constant torture?
This is a world where survival belongs to the fittest (and the luckiest). Where the weak genes are eliminated cruelly ( did i spell it correctly?), where you are punished for the weak genes inside you. And sadly, i have fallen into the hands of genetics; i love the beautiful, i detest the unattractive. I idolise the superficially good genes ( think: looks, figure) but i discriminate -silently or unsilently- the ones with poor genes ( think: fat, ugly, unattractive). Yet deep inside, as i scorn those few, i feel their sadness in them. I can only imagine what it feels to be like tat. Sometimes, i cry in my heart for them. IF they claim to be happy being who they are, i doubt that all the time. But by doubting that, ain't i the one who's insisting indirectly further in my stereotype that they should not be feeling happy for possing undesirable traits? Wait, ain't i also plagued with undesirable genes as well? and there's so many of them somemore.
i can empathise with them, because it is a cruel world and i know that i can survive. I will survive eventually, and the capacity to be able to feel for them - does it mean that i am higher above because i can care for others on top of satisfying my own life? I empathise, i sympathise, and yet i am superficial too. How does that all 3 come together? I really dun understand tat....
You say i should not just look at mere superficial beauty, but innately, its the first tat i see ( sometimes, the only thing). You say that u are the superficial one, when actually, by saying that, you have highlighted the superficiality and shallowness in me.
So i am the superficial one afterall; and for that, i am the truly undesirable one.
