Dramatic life?!

When I look around, there are countless of stories happening around us. Everyone is having his/her unique story. Some are dramatic, others are much more stable, but most of all are very impressive. Every story consists of joy, conscience, hope, hatre, bitterness, jealousy and desperation, and all elements interlink with other individuals.

Through out our life, most of us strive for the best and involve in various competition when growing. We win and we lose, no one will be winner or loser forever. We always compare with others, we compete who is prettier, who is richer, who is more knowledgeable, who get lesser pounds, who get the better spouse, bigger house, flashier car...... However, when you look over your shoulder, you will say 'so what' to all of the competition you had participated.

Frankly, I am not yet inspired and reach the ultimate stage who Taoism suggested, I still keen on competiting and striving for the best. But, why don't we embrace the world and give ourselves a second to listen to this planet? To feel the taste of air?
