What sort of life would I have if I was born in a family of farmers...like in Harvest Moon?
I'd go milking goat or cow everyday, feed chicken, plant cucumber, harvest some turnips, searching for seeds... I'd go around the small town, going down from the hills to the beach. I'd watch the waterfall, enjoy the silence and relax with butterflies around. I wouldn't meet individualistic people, because all of them are great friends to another. There would be no need of joining any ospek, for the friendship and trust grows naturally. Any kind of ospek, with all its jargons about making a family tie and sense of togetherness won't do.
I won't need any complicated calculations to solve, while I myself don't really understand the real application of those vectors, differentials, and integrals. What I'd know would only be how season changes, what to prepare when each season comes, what seed to buy, when to join cooking competition in the downtown, at what time I should get up and go to supermarket, and yada yada. I'd learn in a real life. I'd have my own realistic lab activity. Won't need any assistant to tell me what to do. Won't have any journal to make except a dialy journal. A diary.
I wouldn't mind about getting much money in a short time. I'd love what I do, and I'd live happily. I wouldn't be forced to work in oil and gas company. I'd have and directly practice my own way of living. I would be friends with the environment rather than destroy it.
I'd meet another happy person who'd stay with me for the rest of my life. We'd meet by magic, as if the universe conspires to make us understand each other. Divorce rate in that town won't be that high anyway. We'd make friends with animals and vegetables until we're grown old and weak, smiling together in a small house we built from nothing. We'd watch our children grow and perhaps would send them to a big city to get proper education...
Big city...
A virtue of dream. A glamorous-unhealthy-greedy-evil lifestyle, yet many people wants it badly like ripe fruits from a tree of forever.
Humans can never be satisfied with what they've got. We'd always want more. We fail to see the beauty of our current state. We keep on asking for better life without knowing whether or not this life is actually the best. We keep on whining, trash-talking with friends on twitter, stalking people's latest gossip on facebook, making fun of others without respecting their privacy, putting too much information on the net until others don't have to find out anymore..we lose the sensation, having negative thoughts fueled into mind, creating many and more masks until we forget who we really are.
We're too much concentrating on how to fit in, rather than to stand up.
We....or at least me.
I am a devastated meadow field. A messed up creature blinded by past glory. A girl that finds it hard to move on, to stand up and being outstanding. A stubborn mind resisting change in the comfort zone.
And a lousy-drowsy person who decided to mock herself in the middle of the night.
