Live, Love and Laugh

Ain't I'm disgusted by the "cost-slashing" strategy adopted by many unethical companies in times of recession! Or rather has it always been the usual practice to put others to disadvantage and let the gains roll into their own pockets?

Talk about selfishness, upon receiving a letter that brought back memories of what happened more than 10 months ago, that incident had come back, to haunt me again. The selfish and vicious act of two individuals, conspired out of the motivation for self gains, has brought much grief for many others who were innocently involved. I remembered vividly the heavy heart I carried with me to work the next day, after the deeds have been exposed (the evil duo wouldn't have expected that someone has found out about them). I was utterly disgusted and disappointed, to know about the truth of how the world actually works.

Have I seen enough for someone of my age, or is there more to come? That question, I can't answer, and let alone think about it at all!

No doubt that incident has not affected me physically, my faint little heart just can't take such acts betrayals. Perhaps that eventful day, 10 months ago, has brought about the turning point in my life. I have lost trust in humanity. We humans are nothing at all. Although we had god-given priviledges to feel, we have chosen to ignore our emotions for others. The emotive drive of compassion is so fragile- a gift that we have perhaps thrown away at the early stages of life, as soon as the slightest competition is spotted. Have we, the miserable mankind, been reduced to just wanting to feel the glory of victory, and nothing else at all? Is it something worth abandoning everything else for?

Little did I realise, what I thought would be the last I'd have heard about that event, have resurfaced, affecting 2 others.

Anyway, I've been pretty sick, but still dragging myself to the horrible workplace, and having to face disgusting people. What's new? Am I not told that everywhere's the same, and give up that unreal positive thought of looking for somewhere-a-bit-more-pleasant?

Why don't we deserve to even try to find happiness, not in the wake of a glorious victory in a meaningless competition in today's world, but in being true to ourselves, and act abit more responsible to others?

If only the world works this way...
