The day I meet with them. It has been ages that I didn’t meet them there. The very last time I met with them in that house, which the memory a bit blur in my mind is the time I was really young.. Most probably I am jus in my primary years. I cant remember exactly when.. but I guess is the lower primary years.
The old woman and her daughter who is mute who live the top floor of the flat. In my younger years, I feel sympathy on them. Feel sympathy for the old woman, who is old enough but still need to climb so many floors without lift and doing some business daily by selling food to make some money for living. It is not that she do not have any children that care for them.. but this old woman just stubborn enough wan to rely on herself and continue her business although her both legs are getting weaker as she grow older.
On the day I met with them… The different that I see and the different feeling that I have.. I just spent probably half an hour there at their house the other day. The old woman is strong and stubborn as before.. She hardly walks as she recently fell down and hurt her legs. Watching her pushing the square steel chair, humpbacked and trying to make each step without help of anyone can really make people around realize how much this old woman would struggle to live without people’s help.
Her daughter.. Still the same but I guess she much more older now. I saw her with some white hairs and her face skin that wrinkled. When I was young, I dislike to talk to her as I cant understand what she saying. She always with her hand sign language. But this time, the feeling is different… I feel that I really try to understand what she trying to tell me with the sign language.. although I still cant understand it well but I guess it not that important that I didn’t understand.. but maybe what most important is I spent time trying to listen to her. She seem to be a very happy go lucky person although she is speechless. Jus feel that, all this while she really rarely have someone she can talk to. No matter she is happy or sad, she will not be able to blurt out.
On that fine day, jus coincident that I happen to drop by and give a little helping hand. But the old woman already keep on saying thanks to me… which really make me feel uneasy…jus feel that jus a little help that I think it is not worth for a single thanks or even that I didn’t really gave much help… While her daughter jus keep on trying to entertain me and serving me with water.. Jus wonder people like this old woman and her daughter who live a simple living but really appreciating each of the moments they have in life and every single things given to them.. But in our daily life, do we really take the opportunities to really appreciating things we have, the people around us and what is given to us.. Sometimes people do not realize, or sometimes people do realize. Although people realize but they still cant make sure we appreciating every moments given.. There will be always something that we regret and never treasure well.. Therefore, we can jus always remind ourselves to appreciate every single things no matter is the good or bad.. IT is still something worth to treasure of in our daily life..

when the people and the community are changing to be better,human are no longer satisfy with wat they have,wat happening is,they expect and expect,more and more..more and more...its a paradox that people knew they have to feel thankful and appreciate with wat they have,but on the other hand,they just refuse or didn't pay much attention to do that. we always feel so sympathy to those who we think they are poor enough in everything,but yet we just don't have the initiative to give them a hand..yes we will help them..but just when its the right time or maybe just coincident we help when we pass by?? but atleast it is better than those who never try to help.Another paradox happened is when the society and the living status getting better,these "poor" ppl should have a better life too,but yet the fact is not.
too much things happen in our every single day,everyone busy earning to satisfy themselve,from there they start to neglect the poors one,even though the parents at home?i dun know where is my position now?but atleast i always try to remind myself to always love and treasure of coz always appreciate too to all the ppl ard,maybe the love is not enough for everyone who need in the world,but atleast to those u loves,ur family,ur friends,ur beloved..
in our opinion maybe the poors one live in suffer,but in their mind maybe they feel that they are happy and satisfy in such condition?i also dun know wat i'm trying to say here..there are always no measurement for this,especially the measurement of happy..
The world is changing, community changing.. and even the standard of living change.. Expectation in life and the perception of today peoples also different.. today children is different from us and we are also different from our parents time.. Things are there to be change but jus waiting for us to be ready to accept. Acception on the unfair, unlucky and the unanswered.
reflect back to those who is poor, homely, living on their own and handicapped, Things we hope to change for better but it didn't.. things we hope to help but we didn't. What we do is jus feel sympathy...and this is really a dillema..
When i wrote this blog. i jus asking do i really appreciating.. what i have, and what is given.. sometiems i think i do.. but when look back.. i think i do not.. or i shall say i do not manage well.. cause there are alwasy somethign i didnt appreciate well.. to regret it might be late..
But what can be done.. i guess is trying to learnt of appreciating and try to learn of regret before too late.. LEarning is always the process of growing.. So to live and grow in a happy and cheerful environment.. jus gotta learn of acceptions and appreciations.
