Mind and Heart

When I was a kid, I do have a bigger mind and a smaller heart.
I was fearless, I think big and dream big, I have no worries, and I have the 'can do' attitude. I was not always happy, I cried and upset about many little things, but I always have positive mind towards anything.
I love my family, myself, my comic books, I don't have too many attachments and I don't love easily.

Now that I am a grown adult, I realised that I have a smaller mind and a bigger heart.
I became so much pessimistic, skeptical, critical and judgemental. I got a lot of fear, I got anxious often, uncertainties worries me, things or people that do not do according to my ideal are irritating me, and my 'can do' attitude is keep diminishing by age.
But I become to love people and things easily, I forgive people easily, I become more considerate and understanding person, I have too many attachments and I have so many wants in my life. I have lots of curiosity on people minds, their cultures, and how their surroundings have shaped them.

I do wish I can have both, a bigger mind and a bigger heart. But the more I live in this world, the more I think that there is no hope for the human race. My heart is aching by the more I know about the world and it's people. It's kinda impossible to have a bigger mind when you start to read the news, listen to people, writing about the current affair, and talking about our fellow human. That's why sometimes people say ignorance is a bliss, ignorance is an act to protect your mind and heart. But I rather have a smaller mind than being an ignorant, I rather having my heart broken than turning a blind eye on something or someone else.

Smile

How to Win Friends and Influence People Dale Carnegie It costs nothing, but creates much. It enriches those who receive, without impoverishing those who give. It happens in a flash and the memory of it sometimes lasts forever. None are so rich they can get along without, and none so poor but are richer for its benefits.  It creates happiness in the home, fosters good will in a business, and is the countersign of friends. It is rest to the weary, daylight to the discouraged, sunshine to the sad, and Nature´s best antidote for trouble. Yet it cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen, for it is something that is no earthly good to anybody till it is given away.  And if in the last-minute rush of Christmas buying someone should be too tired to give you a smile, maybe we can leave one of ours for them. For nobody needs a smile so much as those who have none left to  give !  give ! https://www.thesun.co.uk/living/23...

Entitlement

People say our young generation is entitled, it is a good topic to joke about for the stand-up comedians. Entitled is believing oneself to be inherently deserving of privileges or special treatment. I believe this is not owned by the young generation only, every generation has it, every one of us has it to some degree. This is a problem we have in society in any age, in any countries in this world. I remember when I was a kid, at night during the hot season our house was filled with mosquitos, and dengue fever are quite common in our country.  I can't remember whether I and my sister ever whined about it but I always remember the fact that my mother often stayed up late holding the insects killer racket just to defended us from the mosquitoes. However, My entitlement behaviour took the bad on me, I thought she ought to do that one because she is our mother, it's her duties to protect us. I did not really care how many hours she has spent at our room every night, or whethe...

Addiction

Addiction is the fact or condition of being addicted to a particular substance or activity. Addiction usually start with pain and end with pain. People will turn to addiction as an escape from their 'hard to deal with' current circumstances. Addiction have negative connotation but in my opinion addiction can be good and bad. But anything that not being done in moderation tends to bring more harm and good.  However, the dichotomy of bad and good, can we really be able to distinguish them? In my own opinion again there is no such things as true good and true bad, all good and all bad. It all depends on our own perceptions and our current states when it's happen. What is good now might not be good again tomorrow, the thing that is good now was not good yesterday. If we are battling with any addiction today, let's all of us be kind to ourselves. We should all acknowledge our addictions and bring them to the lights, but we shouldn't condemn them. We are what we are now b...
