Patching the missing pieces

You can never be satisfied with life. No matter how perfect it is, there will still be a hole some where. Waiting to be patched. You patch one hole. Another sits waiting nearby. You patch it. And you'll see another. Little that you know, your whole life would be spent patching holes. People keep telling you that your life is already at its best. You have everything a person could ever dream of. But still you are not satisfied. No. If I have everything, why am I unhappy then? So you go further. Seeking the missing pieces you so desired. One after the other.

It's just the nature of humans. Don't deny. So long as you belong to the family of homosapiens, you'll forever do this one thing. Compare. What ever you do, where ever you go, you'll always be comparing. To the people around you, to the people not around you. And you can't help but wonder why can't you own all those that they do? How I wish I get to drive that fancy sports car across the road. The person in the fancy sports car would wish that he could take your place in the bus as he had never done so. Do you get what I mean?

It's not wrong. A friend once told me, "If you don't compare, you'll never improve." There's truth in it. People don't excel if they don't try to do so. But not every trying is fruitfull. What if your patchings fail to cover the holes? What if the hole gets deeper? When you've exhausted yourself, both mentally and physically, do you keep on going? Or do you give up? What would you do then to patch an even bigger hole?

Some might perceive that others' lives are perfect. Life they long to have. Life that seems to promise all the riches. Remember that not everything is to be judged on the surface. You need to look deeper sometimes in order to determine if that is the life that you truly want. Unfortunately, not everyone is able to do so.

Surely this entry must have something got to do with me, you wonder. Else, it won't be posted up.Yes, it does. My cangkul has been thrown to the side. Allow me some time to pick it up again, alright?
