I have been with different people... Saw how life has differed with one another... Being able see and actually immerse to these different worlds made me see a clearer view of life...
Well, I grew up with a not so bad to do family. But with these, different events and experiences has allowed me to go through different realities, different worlds, different ways of viewing lives... Realizing that we all have a different view of the world... In short the world is what we make it... But then where we are, what we are, who we are or even our social status in society does dictate us on how to view life...
Growing up with a family that had enough money to live with comfort never really allowed me to see what the world really is... It was not such a perfect life though, since my dad had to live with my step mom separated from me and my brother, but we were given what we wanted... On the weekends going out on yacthing with the dad, going to the island of the dad, buying spree with the dad, going to private schools without a hassle coz of the dad, having chocolates and chips from the grocery all the time coz of dad... This was the life before... Not anymore...
Im not saying that im standing on my own now, but because of a lot of circumstances I have seen how other lives are lived and also I have immersed to different kinds of living... There really are a lot of different ways of seeing life..
It either makes or breaks the person... One thing I'm sure is that its not easy living all these kinds of lives... It has its pros and cons... Loosing riches to becoming a working person with so much you can bear which you weren't really used to could be a really different and difficult experience but a liberating experience...
It could be from rich to poor or poor to rich, it could be that just poor or really rich ever since, or it could also be just a plain not so bad to do person or family...
But all these has its unique qualities...
Some people living in the slums sees the world differently, they see it as a hard life, but at times they are happy and together as a family, some really rich sees life differently, they see it as an everyday necessity to keep on either working to become more rich or enjoy the riches that he has, but at times forgetting his own family, which is the real purpose why a father works...
A businessman compared to an OFW, OFW who may not be as rich as a businessman who's in a good business but capable of giving money to his family and kids... Giving more financially and in material things because he has not much time for the family, but chooses to make up for his time in terms of material things because he knows that he is doing work abroad to make money not for himself but for his family... Unlike the businessman, also does not have much time for the family, earning money at times even more than the OFW, although goes home late at night and leaves home early in the morning when the family is about to or asleep already, but how does he see the world? Compared to the OFW, most businessmen fathers give less to their families and thinks like a businessman even for family who is supposedly the primary reason why he is a businessman, to earn a living for the family, but why is it that in material and financial aspects even though he has money end up not fully dedicating this to his family unlike the OFW... Because he sees his world differently, he sees it as a businessman, so the businessman says... "You have to earn your own living family"... While the OFW says, "Here's my love for you family, take it coz you are the primary reason I'm actually working abroad." Different worlds, different lives, different ways of seeing it and believeing in life...
Like the difference of how a educated person sees the world compared to a person who has not studied and "uncapable" of studying, but in reality just lazy to study in those public schools, because education is really free, but see how distorted a persons mind could be...
Being rich to poor is an experience that could be so liberating but hard to go through... Living life with all comforts and moving on to living life through a lot of challenges one's not used to... Living from poor to rich, living life from hardships to living life with a lot of comforts, although sometimes not good, coz the real rich has humility, sometimes from poor to rich brings arrogance and thinks too much of themselves. There was a story I heard from a domestic helper who worked for both real rich people to a poor to rich family, she noticed the difference that the real rich person has humility and treated her like family, unlike the poor to rich people are more arrogant and thinks highly of themselves diregarding her feelings most times and disrespecting her... Although this doesn't apply in all instances... There are times that people still don't forget where they came from...
There are really a lot of different situations that are there... But SHIT REALLY DOES HAPPENS...
The thing is...
How do we handle these things?
Well... I guess we all have to be responsible for ourselves and our environment... Always being aware of what we have to do, our priorities and what else we could do to help society...
I have met really strong people who've gone through a lot of experiences in their lives whether hard or easy, it made them who they are today... Who they are is a better person, it was just a choice they made that allowed them to move on and become better people...
These people chose to face their lives and the challenges in it... Maturely and responsibly... Its best this way, coz we grow as a person...
But sometimes there are just people who never choose to grow up... I guess its their choice and loss... But I'm also pretty sure that they will also grow up one day... When they've gone through an experience that becomes a turning point in their lives...
How do you see your world???
