N0364 - crazy world is choking the life out of us

Posted by Yuka as Famous

As another day goes slowly by, we,n0364 again, successfully tolerate almost all the untolerable things. We, once again, realize how evil the world is.

As usual, Mr. Sun is doing his “fabulous” job, that is, changing his face without any notice and giving everyone some unexpected surprises. An huge undesirable hail falls right at the time when I just finish my 15-mins’ grocery shopping. Before that, it is such a beautiful day with pleasure sunshine and blue sky. I know someone certainly stands out and argues, “Man, that is Melbourne. Enjoy it, the most liveable city in Australia!”

Reading today’s newspaper on the tram, I am stunned by a report, saying that a 30-year-old woman riding a bike was hitted by a passing tour bus and died immediatedly yesterday morning on the Swanston St., the busiest street at the heart of city, when her wheels slipped on tram tracks, and most importantly, when I was just walking on that street at that moment, though I did not witness the tragedy. That is no wondering why yesterday morning I could not take any tram along the Swanston. She is the second cyclist killed by motor vehicles. It just happend in the morning, the beginning of a normal day, merely to some people. Of course, some always-right persons will say: ” Oops, this is simply an accident that happens everywhere in the world. And we do need to boost our tourism, don’t we?”

Then I go home, openning my computer and surfing on the Internet. But another horrible story is right here in front of me. Following the recent incident of toxic milk powder,some “new” well-known members join in a just-discovered underground club, namely “toxics club”. Welcome, Mengniu, Yili, and Guangming! I was their “loyal” and “faithful” consumer, so did my families, even do nowadays. What we trust so hard just makes no more than a joke to us. The Opposition party never misses any opportunity to speak out their so right “truth”, “Look, China has millions of people drinking toxic milk every year, but they are still alive. Don’t be so serious, dude.By the way, it is good for a cut in the world’s booming population, isn’t it?”

Humans have been playing with fire for decades. And now they become the victims getting burnt. Everyone who hurts somebody before deserves eatting his own bitter fruit, doesn’t he? But why most of the terrible things always fall on ordinary and doing-nothing-wrong people every time. Now it is the turn to the naive and innocent children, so-called our future. Ridiculously!

I know this is an adult world, a place full of crapes, cheat and hypocrisy. Everyday, people are struggling from messed-up life and licking their wounds after injury, both physically and spiritually. However, one thing that is certain and never changed in my not-so-bad life is optimism.

Despit all awful things I hear and experience today, I read my younger sister’s message, saying she misses me; I hear from wenni about how much she misses the Thailand restaurant in Gold Coast; I find Eileen put my words in her signning, showing the importance I mean to her as a friend; I receive AJ’s SMS from Surabarya, writing she thinks of the happiness and sufferrings we enjoyed in Monash University. All of these make me one of the luckiest people in the world, because at least I am still breathing, still feeling love and care from friends and families, and have not yet drunk potential toxic milk for more than one and half years. Is there anything worse than losing all of these? Definitely no.

Heroes never come to cure this severly-ill world in reality. But since things are going worse wildly, why should I make myself more miserable by always looking at the dark side of everyday life, even though the increasingly crazy world is choking the life out of me? I can, and am a hero in my own world, saving myself from the struggling. I am just what I am, never buying crapes, especially from the always-right people who talk bullshit and something only in favour of their interests.
