The chain of life

You don’t need me to tell you that human beings are a pretty weird bunch. Seriously though, a friend of mine and I were talking and then this question came up. Why do people chase after things that have a disregard for them and in turn disregard things that chase after them?

You’re a bit lost, so let me elaborate. In your love life for instance, you don’t want the guy or girl who clearly loves you and would do everything they could for you, instead you are chasing after someone else. Oh, don’t feel bad, you’ll be glad to know that that same person too is chasing after someone else who is doing to them what they are doing to you. It’s ridiculous I tell you.

Take this aforementioned friend of mine for an example. A girl he hardly likes is chasing after him. He is just using that girl for you know what. Don’t feel sorry for the girl just yet, because she is doing to another older guy the same thing my friend is doing to her. What she doesn’t know is that the older guy has even dreamt a future for both them, shame bakithi. And you know that this friend of mine is just lusting or loving after another girl who doesn’t know that he even exists.

Here is a less funny example. Most of the people around me are either in school or have just graduated, either way they are looking for jobs or want ones better than those they already have. Even in this case, the same rules apply.

 I know a guy who quit a job because he says it bored him to death. On the same breath I know a guy who would do quite a lot just to get the very same job the first guy quit.

I know what you’re thinking and you can stop wishing. Yes, the first guy who quit his ‘boring job’ is looking for a job that he loves, a job he knows he can do great things in. Guess who has that very job? That’s right! Someone who couldn't care less about it. In fact, for that person this is just a job, but for this guy this could be his life! Everything is just a never-ending vicious circle.

So what’s your point!? [That’s you shouting at me through your screen]. Here it is. Whenever you do things don’t take them lightly. Always bear in mind that someone else would break an arm and a leg in trying to ensure that they are properly or efficiently taken care of.
