Slept late last night, after dota-ing till 3. Woke up at 12 juz now. Had suuuuuch a long slumber. Anyway, was watching the doctor show on Channel 55. It was sad, as usual. But something else grabbed my attention. It was this heated argument between 2 people. For the benefit of those who don't suscribe to VV Drama, I shall re-enact the happenings. =)
(lol, i feel like I'm writing another play...)

For the sake of this blog entry,
Dr A - a cardiologist, who cherishes life
Ms B - a rich, spoilt girl who likes Mr A big time

So this is how the scene went...

Dr A just witnessed his very good friend undergo a complex heart surgery, performed by his own father, the Chief Medical Officer of the hospital. Unfortunately, due to the complications of the operation, the patient had yet to regain consciousness, and it had already been a week. Most probably, the patient will not awaken anymore.

Feeling very vexed, Dr A went to the grass field. Somehow, he fell, and was lying down in the middle of that field, contemplating the event that just passed.

Meanwhile, Ms B, who was also a patient there, was throwing tantrums, refusing to take her medicine. She suffers from heart ailments too. She was trying to evade the nurse who was pursuing her. And she stumbles into Dr A.

(very astonished)
Ms B: Dr A!!!! Why are you lying down in the middle of nowhere?

(showing a very pek cek face)
Dr A: Go away, I'm not in a mood to talk...

(with a typically "san1 ba1" expression)
Ms B: eh... have u been crying??? have you been snubbed by the little chilli padi again???

Ms B knows that Dr A has a liking for a fiery girl, who doesnt really reciprocate his feelings, yet.

(very annoyed)
Dr A: I can't be bothered with you. I don't wanna talk to you. Dr A turns and walks away.

Disappointed at being snubbed by Dr A once again, Ms B shouts out loud.

Ms B: Life is so frustrating! I think i'm better off dead!

Dr A stops in his tracks, turns back, and storms towards Ms B.

Dr A: Do you think life is only about all these boyfriend/girlfriend stuff? You think wanting to die is "fun"? There are so many people out there, really dying, yearning for the chance to live. But here you are, wanting to die over such matters. You know what, go ahead and die, I don't care.

Ms B has a seizure. She collapses.

Seriously, I think the storyline is self-explanatory, for those of you who read it thoroughly (and NOT fast-forward, fast-forward, heh).

So many times in life, alot of us treat life so lightly, so frivolously. Sometimes, at the slightest setback, we say we wanna die. Personally, I am guilty of that too. The thing is that we Always see how serious our problem is, and not realise that theres a whole world out there, with people suffering so much more than us.

Well, this post isent only about "dying"; its about how we can cherish life.

That brings me to the title of this entry: "Your happiness is your state of satisfaction".

How happy you are, is dependant on how happy you allow urself to be, how satisfied you are with the current situation.
Conversely, how upset and sad you are, is also dependant on how unhappy you allow urself to be, how dissatisfied you are with whats happening.

I thought that this entry is quite appropriate now, as I know alot of my friends are going thru particularly rough patches of life. My friends (and myself), I don't belittle your problems. But I hope for all to be happy, and I know, that happiness is ever-elusive.

I plead with you,

The next time you wanna use ur energy and time to be upset, use that effort to help others, who really wanna be happy.
The next time you are so certain you cant be happy, do something useful, by giving others the chance to be happy.
Through which, may you find your new form of happiness.
