It's amazing how people can stand the complaints showered upon them by the "youth" they are constantly talking to. No offense, but I do share my own blab-mouth-with-unnecessary-words to-say-just-full-off-outright-complaints. I do not know how many kilograms my family hears of me saying so each day but truthfully, I pity them and at the same time, admire them for having been ever so patient in living up with my nasty habit.

Just recently, when I oppened my Yahoo Messenger account, the pop-up window for "Offline Messages" appeared. I read through them one by one just in case there was something important. One of them contained this message (rephrased by moi): "Sana wala nalang pasok bukas. Tinatamad ako. Hehehehehe." Later, I found out that classes were suspended. (Damn. Too much for that No-Classes-For-AA today fact, uh? Total Waste.) Anyway, before that account signed out, I received another group message, "Sana may pasok nalang, walang magawa dito sa bahay. Gusto ko umalis." Funny. Totally Hilarious. One time, he was wishing school was suspended and just moments after, he wanted school to be back. Man, how quick that wish was.

Well, it is kind of shallow if you think about it but it dawned on me the fact on how we want things to happen instantly-- without actually waiting even just for a few moments. That's the sickness of youth today (and I am one of the many victims). There is not a pint of patience in us that's why we never learned the value of waiting. All we think about is having what we want when we want it-- and "when we want it" is synonymous to NOW, NOW, NOW! Bratty?? Hell yeah! Too bratty that we can't even recognize we're part of the bad-influence society. Who said we were great enough to rule the next world? No one should put us to ruling unless we learn the basic necessities and values in life. We think of ourselves as someone superior-- someone perfect-- without actually noticing that we have been driving ourselves insane by keeping up to the What's-Hot-And-What's-Not nowadays. Thus, ending up in a cycle of bratty, nasty attitudes. Then later, we will be a self-transformed little monster. Freaky.

Maybe, this just serves as a reminder that we must think before we speak. Complaints are just damn too redundant and who the heck would want to repeatedly hear a statement full of dissatisfaction? Well, a foolish man would but I am sure, we are not all foolish men-- we've got to push our brains to work. Good, positive and wise words are what we should learn to regard about life. Afterall, it's not a bad world out there, it is just our wrong mindset playing tricks on us.
