People seem to "smile" a great deal more on the internet, where you see lotsa smilies and emoticons all over the place.
This is seriously degrading. It takes so much to smile in life, to have that expression on ya despite the damn nasty things you may be facing. Yet all it takes is a " =) " in substitution, on the virtual platform.
And also, photographs. My friend was telling me, "aww.. see how sweet these couples are in the photos!"
I mean, would anyone take photos of themselves arguing with their partner?
Such things paint an over optimistic picture of bliss in life. I'm an optimist, but a realistic one too. It takes a great deal of observation to distinguish true happiness from a facade.
So the next time you are tempted to feel that someone out there is better off because he looks happier, Don't.

I was watching a chn 55 serial, about cake-making. So anyway, theres this rookie cake-making competition yesterday, and the contestants were asked to bake, in accordance to the theme revealed:
The Call of Love
So heres a short re-enactment:
Judge: What cake is this, is it chocolate cake?
Tang Shuang (TS): Yep, made up of 7 different kinds of chocolate, and...
Judge: Do you know that I Hate chocolate cakes, and you dare to use SEVEN kinds?! Don't you want to win?
TS: I didnt noe or care what you liked or did not like. The theme was "Call of Love", so i made this chocolate cake, becoz the person i'm in love with likes chocolate stuff! What better cakes to make him feel the Call of Love?
--------------------------------------------------------
If you've been feeling shy about telling someone how you feel, go tell the person, b4 its too late.
If you're in a r/s, and you feel that its not stable, go Make it stable, b4 its too late.
If you've already broken off with that special someone, but you really miss him/her badly, go tell them so, b4 its too late.
Sometimes, we think too much. Love should be instinctive, not something which could be conceptualized, tabulated.
Where's my chocolate cake with 7 kinds of dark chocolates?
How about you, can you hear your Call to Love?
Sometimes, happiness is simply in front of us...
