With a body so tense, an eye so serious, and standards so ridiculous, will anything in this world, no — in this universe, become "enough" for you?
"This is not enough, I'm not enough", just as how this mindset is poisonous to career and productivity, "you're not enough" is also just as poisonous to relationships and society.
If you can't be satisfied nor be grateful for even the smallest things, how can you be satisfied even with everything? You'll swallow yourself whole with that all-consuming thirst of yours.
To aim for the highest is good and remarkable, but to never be satisfied and grateful with anything but the ideal only leads to a life of suffering.
It's important to improve, grow, and learn at every opportunity, but not at every second. There is a huge difference between "every opportunity", and "every second", do you get it?! Geez, no wonder you're so tired and busy all the time. Baka, baka!
Have you ever opened and embraced all these gifts you have received? It's true that they're very small and low-quality, and they're not something you wished for, but they're the universe's choicest gift to you.
Can't you even say a single "thank you", for all the gifts you have received? Can't you even ask a single "how are you", for all the people who's helped you?
It's true that your life is full of misfortune and suffering, but does that immediately mean that you should take everything for granted?
I see, that's it. I... remember it now. I do have a family. I do have memories with other people. I... have a life.
Hahaha... so all this time, I only cared about myself, my situation, my suffering, my feelings, my circumstances.
(Lol I'm not getting teary)
It's all about me, me, and me. I never noticed... that there's also people around me, humans who care about me, despite how imperfect their "caring actions" are.
(Bruh these ninjas cutting onions)
It's nice. I can see them now. I can hear them now.. I'm not alone. I'm happy... I was not alone, after all. Sorry.. I only noticed this time. I was blind. I was very stupid.
(Since when did waterfalls appear on my face?)
Thank you, everyone. I'm glad I'm not alone... I can rest easy now... Good night.
