Reality Bites

You can close your eyes to reality but not to memories. -Stanislaw J. Lec, Polish author

Things seems to be so easy when you are a little kid, life is so simple, a friend is someone you play with, have fun, gigle together...quarel sometimes but in no time you are back together again playing around. No matter who that person is, no rejudice. You are nice to people who are nice to you.

Its ashamed that once you grow older..we started to developed this sense called prejudice, ego, self-centered value in us. We choose friend who would only satisfy our need. Not only among people who we called friends but also among those who are related to us. What really happen to us?

My cousin and I were so close when we are ust a litte kid despite the fact that I live far away (we are among the the early generation of grandchildren so there not many of us) but whenever I'm back it always feel like home, safe, comfortable....we enjoyed each other company eventhough somehow our parents were not the best of family...but then it was adult problems and it had nothing to do with us.

Then time past by..you grow up and become an adult yourself, you travel far away from home..collect more friends. You are so busy with life that when finally things are over..you suddenly realized..its been years you two haven't really talk to each other..everybody has changed and you are distance apart. Your parents problem became your concern and with all in mind you two become stranger....Sad isn't it?

Reality is the leading cause of stress amongst those in touch with it. -Jane Wagner
