Sometimes I ask myself "why"??

You know, you look around you and you see misery, you see suffering. You feel sympathetic, but only for a while. You look at others and see faults, but do not see your own and in the end, the question will always be why? Why did we become this way? It is as profound as it is simple. The ego of man is the downfall of man. We had a lady call up telling the heartlanders not to go to Holland Village, an area full of ang mohs, because heartlanders are not cultured. Perhaps they push or speak loudly or are vulgar... but I can swear to it that event the most cultured being can swear profanities worse than a drunken prawn can. If rich means being cultured, again it is a misnomer because you may be rich, but you need not be cultured. You may read Tolstoy and the Illiad and Odessy.. but are you cultured? It is in the mind lah I tell you. How you bring yourself and carry yourself is the true worth of your own. No matter how rich you are, some people may be richer or as rich, but they do not want to flaunt it. So ego is mankind's downfall. Those who have power but are unable to share it, those who aspire for more when they have enough and so on... It all makes us crazy doesn't it?
