You make a fool of yourself to make them happy. They pay for the performance, they clapped hands, turn their head away and leave happily. The clowns always have to change something new to please the crowds. You perform in an enclosed area, they observe closely to see if you made mistakes. It is fair because they can even throw money on you. It is always easy to watch and comment.
This is originated from Wei Peng. It leaves me pondering after reading it. True, we are clowns and fools most of the time. We are always trying to make other people around us happy, and yet they can call us selfish at times. Different people has different interpretations of things in life. What you think is good may not be as good to another. It is always easy to watch and coment, never knowing how the person might be feeling. You hurt the person purposely or unintentionally, sometimes without you knowing it.
No human beings are perfect. It is natural that human beings have flaws in their character and personality vice. When we can't get something, we will always try our very best to get it. After getting it, you will realise that it is no big deal. It is just another ornament or decorative item. Sooner or later, the feeling for the ornament will soon wear off and you will just put that aside or throw them into the thrash.
Recently, I have a different interpretation of life. It is Madam Nik Norjanah who told us that. Thanks to her, my spirits are being lifted by her. Life is a stage, alright, but you are the protagonist, the main actor or main actress, so it is up to you to run your life. You choose your audience instead. Those who are good to you and make an impact in your life deserved the front seats, whereas those who are not that close to you deserved the back seats. It is about how you managed your life, you decide whether you want to be happy or unhappy. So, whether you like it or not, you have to live one day happily or unhappily...
No matter what happens, you are still you. If you think it is for the better, then change. If not, just be yourself and continue your life. You can never please every single person in life. Though it sounds selfish to put yourself as priority, but if you don't love love yourself, who else will?
