Little things vol. 3
You make your own problemsMy niece was asking me to give her this and that for christmas. Then I told her that I would if she had really good grades in school. After mentioning this, she said that school was hard because of this and that (accdg. to her she is weak in math). When I asked her what she does to prepare for tests, there it was -- she spends more time chatting with her friends on the phone than studying. I simply told her that if you want to ruin your life as early as highschool, be my guest. When you do the things when you're not supposed to do them, you cause your own problems.
I think this is the case with adults even at a bigger scale. I know of people having problems with monthly payments on stuff they couldn't really afford. They do so because they wanted to show off this and that to their friends. And if I thought stuff like this ended during childhood, I was so wrong. Well it's their money and they're budget is really fucked.
Is all life equal?
Let's say you were a professional doctor and you had two patients to operate on - both are babies with requiring the same medical surgery, the other is the baby of a poor family and the other baby is that from a rich family. The poor family's baby was rushed in the hospital first.
Who will you operate on?
Unnecessary
I know of people who are more or less my friends. (un)fortunately I know a lot who were in a relationship now and they're in splitsville. It's really funny when you stumble upon the testimonials they make, it's almost 100% sure that they're "nagpaparinig" (trans: sour-graping) to the one who left. It's amusing, if not pathetic, that people have become so attached to an imbalancing factor in life.. that is... making love the center of their life. I'm being careful when I say "the center" because a good life is a balance of everything.

a lot of kids these days do not value the education that they're getting. and in some way, it's the parents fault as much as their own. i mean, us adults tend to simply hand them everything...even when we clearly know they don't need any of it.
but you handled your niece pretty well back there :)
That question you posed (who will you operate on?) sounds like something Dr. House would ask Dr. Cameron to fuck her mind! It's interesting that people will automatically answer that the poor family should go first regardless. But what if the rich family's baby came in first? I bet the doctor will be called a money-grubbing scum bag for operating on the rich family's baby first. Sometimes the poor tend to make so many excuses to exclude them from certain rules. Excellent stuff :)
