Dearest Karen Sweetie,

Sometimes, it may not necessarily be a good thing that one’s parents are well-to-do, have the powerful connections to provide one with a comfortable life. Granted, they may have everything they desire in terms of material possessions. One cannot possibly predict what may happen in the future… Should life’s circumstances take a turn for the worse and land them in a precarious position where they lose all that they have, would they be able to survive? The rich and well-to-do may never be able to completely understand for themselves the struggles that the poor may face. Likewise, we may never be able to comprehend the sufferings of the homeless and situations of extreme hunger that the people in Africa face.

The important thing is to be content with the lot we have been given in life. There is really no end to comparison.. Comparison with those born in better circumstances will only leave us more dejected and frustrated. Conversely, if we are to make a comparison with what we have been given in life with those of Africans, we may come to realize that we have indeed been blessed. We have our four limbs. We have a job, we have a roof over our heads, food to eat. We live in country which is not characterized by rampant crime and discrimation. We really ought to be glad that we have been blessed…If we were born wealthy, we may never be able to empathise the pain and sufferings of the poor, we may never be able to develop the compassionate nature in us.

All of us do get tired of having the same look all the time (imagine having the same hairstyle for 30 to 40 yrs!), you are really not alone. Just as fashion and trends change, we have to change and keep up with the times or be left behind and be perceived by others as ‘the antique clock’, in their midst. It is good to change your hairstyle and give yourself a fresh new look and to revamp your image. This is good as it brings a refreshing change to yourself and those around you. That said, this very restlessness in us, is expensive to upkeep…

Boredom usually sets in with familiarity; with the things or people around us or jobs that we are assigned to do. At the initial stages, we may be excited to learn about something or someone as it is a novelty. As time goes by however, the element of monotony sets in and we are left looking for something new that interests, excites us and that additional spark or magic in life. The challenge would then be to keep, whatever we are used to do or whatever we have, always interesting and refreshing.

That’s just my opinion of the issue…

Take care and have a great weekend, yah? :)

Luv

Estell
