.taking things for granted?.
how will you feel if one of your friends delivers a cup of hot milo right in front of you while you are in the midst of mugging?
touched? elated? super touched? nonchanlant?
for me, i will be really touched and i will think of ways to repay him/her the next time round.
however, will you be equally/more touched if it's your mother who brought you the hot milo instead?
erm. yes to some? congrats. you are super filial.
for me, with some sense of guilt, i will be touched, but not THAT touched. actually, sometimes i tend to feel it's nothing. *shame*
somehow, it's often the people closest to you whom you neglect- their care and concern, love and whatever.
you will try to repay a classmate's kindness, a friend's kindness, your relative's kindness, a stranger's kindness .... anybody's kindness except the one closest to you.
so unfair isn't it? they put in more effort than others, but get less recognition.
don't you think sometimes you tend to treat a stranger, a friend whom you just know .. or even your DOG better than the people closest to you ?
are you still as polite to your girlfriend whom you have got together with 3 years ago?
do you still bother asking when you need to borrow your friend's laptop charger?
do you even bother to smile at your parents when you see them at home? (i do)
come on, say no.
can't be helped?
i agree.
but it's illogical and dumb some sort.
this week had been a good week.
i got showered with vitamins, cod liver oil capsules, countless cups of green tea, delicious home-cooked food, and lots and lots of love from my beloved mother + dad.
i love them.
i feel touched.
