welcome to a world of differences

It's funny when you think about it. There's this story about a guy who gets his dreams shattered every he tries to do his best. Most of you Metallica fans would have to listened to 'Unforgiven'. I'm not sure how many actually understood the song.

It tells the story of a young man who tried all his life to be better and achieve something, but he was constantly thrown back down by people who did not understand him or what he wanted to do. All he wanted was to do the best he can. He died a bitter old man.

Well, back to the earlier guy's story : He had ideas way ahead of anyone's time, but everytime he tried, he was used, abused and spat on. Every time, he got back up and said to himself, "It's okay there'll be other opportunities", but time and again, the same happened.

This time, he saw a light at the end of the tunnel. He got that chance, and he grabbed it. But somewhere along the way, there were again those, who couldn't stand the fact that this guy was someone who wanted to do something for himself, tried to bring him down. These are the people who are supposed to his compadres, his colleagues, his companions in the same struggle. These are the people who won' be affected in any way by his progress.

What is he supposed to do? Fall down again?

No, this time, he's not giving up his right to a better future. This time those who do him wrong must pay.

Well, I don't get something. If there is someone who is willing to sacrifice everything to chase his dreams, why are there people who feel threatened by it? These are the people who are too lazy to put real effort into their labours, choosing rather to suck up. Choosing rather to step down on others. Choosing rather to climb over his head. Choosing to bring him down, instead of trying to better themselves.

Sometimes, no, most of the time, I get confused. Why most people just have to behave like protozoas?

To those who read this and understand, you know who you are. And trust me, God may be forgiving but not this not-so-young-man. "Don't wake the sleeping worm", said Thror to Bilbo,"that worm is an awfully revengeful dragon".

I understand the story on the wall. Well, most of people having the same problem. Let the bitter past go. Soon, u will find differences in the world of differences where there are few people to help you in someways. God won't let you down unless you yourself.

Errr.... the worm part. Its sounds like an Indian sayings like "Don't wake the lion from the cave, else you will regret the consequence"..

Woi, ennalla??? Pulluve pulluve ne zoo katharinga
