rant 21: the other side

"the grass on other side is always greener"

i assume everyone heard of that phrase before, and most of your agreed. i agreed to it too, because anything and almost everything at the other side (meaning things that we can see but cannot get) seems to be better. but are they?

i cannot tell you readers now, and most of my readers are most probably from overseas or i have no readers at all. but when im somewhere out there, whether its in the United States of America, the peaceful land of Canada or down south Australia, i will tell you if the other side of the world have greener grass.

its a matter of perspective and experience. i mean, you can say that the beaches there have better waves, cleaner water, sparkling sand and lets not forget about the nude beach, but what about the 'ang mohs' that came to malaysia? not too sure if they have good comment on malaysia, but there must be something good here for us to be proud of. ok, i admit that the only thing im proud of is that... malaysia have awesome food yo! and cheap too! with or without conversion of money.

so dont always complain that the grass at the other side is always greener, try and open your eyes and see why the grass here is brown. and with some hope, you might find baby green grass, ready to see the world. stop complaining and do something about it. maybe the adults are forgettable, but the children, we can always train the children. dont dream big, start with your own child, or your baby cousin, niece or nephew.

let do something, so we can start saying, "the grass here is always greener".

and maybe, if you say that often, you yourself will believe in the lie you have created for yourself, and everyone else.
