"Napakahirap espellengin ng Tao!" Why do people has so many issues in life? Why can't we just live happily? Why are we feeling things that are hurtful? Why are there things that make us happy? Why do we allow people to hurt us? When do we learn? When do we say enough? When to say No?... Why when you give, they ask for more? Isn't it enough? Is it too much to ask for? ... while I'm searching for some of the answers................... I came across this quote: I think I've discovered the secret of life - you just hang around until you get used to it. Charles M. Schulz - do we really have to get use to everything? 

When I was young I dreamed of having a happy family. It is because my parents weren't perfect but they provided a perfect family for us...( as for my definition of PErFeCT). Everything that I needed and wanted were given: basic needs, monetary churvaness, good education, and of course love...as if they have mastered MASLOW'S hierarchy of needs. I can't say that we were brought-up perfectly but I know that we grew up in a very appropriate manner... (appropriate though is synonymous with perfect). I remember my parents always tell us not to hurt anybody, be a blessing to everyone and RESPECT is the key to success... to any endeavor. 

Guess what? I soulfully practiced everything that they inculcated to us... and for sure, unconsciously, I was looking forward that other people would do the same. I forgot that people have different characteristics and they were brought up contrary to mine. My MISTAKE! 

Why are there people who don't give a damn to your feelings? Are they, bizarre? or they never experienced unconditional love? or maybe they try to be different? Why are there people who keeps asking for more but never realized that they never give anything? Not that you are expecting but as any human being would react... Maybe that's why its hurtful because we expect! (too much).

When do we learn? from what? mistakes? I don't think we really learn from it. We probably try to identify, distinguish, and determine what mistake(s) we made and we move on... others, however, try to perfect their mistake(s). People learn through education, maybe if we consider life spices as education, maybe, then maybe... there is learning. 

Why do we allow people to hurt us? do we really allow them or they barge in? or there is always the tendency to slip into your hands the situation, that they find way(s) to hurt you? Do you get what I mean? There was this person telling: "Hindi ko alam bakit ako ang ginamit ng Diyos para parusahan ka?" Whoa?! I can't imagine this person to be a prophet of GOD! 

Life is simple. Isn't it? We just make life complicated. Maybe, we have to get used to things that makes us happy because it's temporary.
