food for thought...lamenting

In the previous post, i said i was contented with what i have... but is that really true? I often question myself over and over again. Ever since i went to Australia and study, i told myself i must learn to be contented. Be contented with life and what i have and not taking them for granted, shall learn to cherish all that i have.

But its human nature to have more wants in life, or am I just blaming it to "humans nature"? I tink a contented person is very happy and carefree, dun have to worry abt FAME , MONEY and STATUS. Wont be jealous or envious of what others have in life. No comparison will be made. When i say contented doesn't mean i am rich and dun need to work, it could be, i just work as a recep or a simple job which gives a decent pay to survive. Having the basic necessity, a shelter, food and love (family and friends). Dun have to worry how others look at me... look at the pay i'm drawing... it could be the case whereby someone is very rich but nvr happy, coz they are nvr contented, and these ppl tends to miss out the good things in life. The good human nature.

but having enough to survive appears to be sometimes insufficient coz we have WANTS. Example, i wan SHOPPING, i want to travel, i want this and that.. and almost everything! haha so when can i reach the stage of contentment?? of not wanting more than i need? will that take me forever??? Maybe becoz we are not contented, we tend to want to make more money... more and more money thinking that it can bring us loads of stuff (which is very true in many ways), but some stuff cannot be bought. sometimes with watever means that we try to make more money, we somehow lose out more, that is have lesser time for the ppl u love, or miss out certain things in life... we stop being caring, we tend to be selfish, or even go into gambling.

The sad thing is, we stop reflecting and take a step back to look at how we live, and stop appreciating the good things around us. we onli have one goal is to get more money (promotion, strike toto, etc) and we move on in life blindly, we start to live blindly. So may god bless me that i learn to be as contented as possible with life and be happy :)

Just doing some self reflection, i told myself i shd look fwd to the things i want to do and appreciate life... tink i'm going bongus... start to write nonsense hahaha
