Life is Unfair

May 19, 2011 09:30


My favorite part in the Hunger Games was when Katniss thought about how, in a dinner party in Catching Fire, that people in the Capitol would puke just so they could eat more while people back in District 12 were starving. I always knew life was unfair - at least I thought I knew and accepted the fact. But I’ve never seen myself as part of the ( Read more... )

Wow. I'm surprised that you actually related Hunger Games in your life.

I'm kind of guilty, too, because I always ask for more. But I guess it really is a part of human nature...to never be satisfied with what you have. I think that the Capitol's greed is just more apparent in Hunger Games because they have the greater privilege to show it, but everyone's the same. If not...I don't think the districts will start a revolution. XD Anyway, in relation to that, I think that if I'm one of the kids whose family bought your old PC...I will be happy for a while, but if I will realize that there are faster and better ones, I will probably be asking for a new one. HAHA. My point is...what you feel is something natural and that you shouldn't feel guilty...that much?

LOLOLOL...I don't know if I made sense.

I wish I can finish Mockingjay this week. :)))

That's what books are for, dearest. //bricked. So we can dream and pretend that we can be the heroines in them.

Well. Yes. I'm over my guilty phase because I've been consoling myself with this conceited thought that I'm a talented person and it's okay as long as I put these things into better use. LOLJK. But seriously though.

I'm okay now. As long as I remind myself not to take things for granted. And not to feel so down and envious of others, because there are some more people who have less.

AND DON'T SAY WISH, BEA. SAY I WILL FINISH MOCKINGJAY THIS WE--//bricked. No pressure. *shot*

Ah, well, you know how it goes: you may think you've got it bad, but there are always people out there who're having it much, much worse. Although the thought makes you uncomfortable it keeps you down-to-earth and humble in a way ;)

In my case I apply the same principle to the food I eat - I always feel compelled to ensure not even a grain of rice remains on my plate. It's not like me eating would magically fill the stomachs of hungry children, but it doesn't put me in a position to take what I have for granted.
