Reality Check

Amongst painting my nails red, exploring a new dining destination, watching a fantastic movie and pondering over my not so productive thoughts, I also happened to attend a congregation over the weekend. A congregation that made me realise that my life is not all that bad, as I make it out to be. We all feel that our own life is the worst. There have been times when I have found myself questioning "Why me", but this gathering was an eye opener to the suffering and pain that people go through in this world. For sure, life is not all haa haa hee hee, but peep outside, and you will be grateful for not being in 'THAT' person's shoes. I was also reminded of a song as I sat through the meeting:
There's a hero, if you look inside your heart
You don't have to be afraid of what you are
There's an answer, if you reach into your soul

And the sorrow that you know will melt away
It's a long road when you face the world alone

No one reaches out a hand for you to hold
You can find love if you search within yourself

And the emptiness you felt will disappear
Lord knows dreams are hard to follow

But don't let anyone tear them away
Hold on there will be tomorrow

In time you'll find the way
And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you
