The board was full, pasted with all kinds of passionate activisms for the strong causes in the different parts of the world. I leaned my head on the wall behind me, don't you think it's tiring simply looking at the board? I wanted to ask him, but I decided not to. Whoever these days think about things like these, no one - and not they want to either. I shook my head, as if it could shake off the exhausting thoughts from my head. I smiled a bit, his bright t-shirt lifted up my spirit.
The truth is, life grows to be an increasingly frustrating place to be (not to say death is a better alternative either). For one, there are problems around the world everywhere which never seem to go away - prejudice, discrimination, utter greed. To add to it we are now facing the threat of world collapse, the resources sucked dry, the treasured ruined. And still, still - we go on in our life as if nothing has changed. We've got to to live, right?
I wish I have all the answers, I wish I can change everything. I wish time is on my side. I wish people would stop going about their daily lives for once and say, hey let's do something different today. I wish we could all dance simply to have a good time. I wish the world is not so complicated as people make it to be. I wish my ancestors hadn't hated each other so I can love and embrace more people today. I wish, I wish.
