Conve-norance

1. Park your vehicle by the side of the road wherever fits (or not), despite it being a non-parking slot; despite knowing it'll be a nuisance to other drivers.
2. Light up a cigarette whenever you wish; despite being in non-smoking area, despite knowing that it'll kill both you and others around you.
3. Insist to go for dinner while in accompaniment of friends who bluntly refused and objected.
4. Walk away from responsibilities to self-pleasing agendas, knowing the fact that others are willingly helpful to finish what you started.
5. Join the rest of the world to condemn someone whom you barely know, without the slightest effort of objective reasoning and research.
6. Shut yourself from news of suffering in a faraway land and live your life unsympathetically.
7. Mourn for 2 seconds over a stranger's tragic demise, and start cracking jokes 5 seconds later.
8. Have zero respect and appreciation for food despite being in full knowledge of Mal-nutrient, starving, famine-stricken children in another corner of the world.
9. Embrace A.D.I.D.A.S syndrome; All Day I Dream About Self-pleasures.
10. Sub-consciously but evidently, and definitely unapologetically thinks this way:

"It's always about me. And i ought to think so, or else i'll be left out. My interests and wishes would be unattended and unfulfilled if i don't. And that's sad. So me first."

I wonder how long i can go on.

Well, in case if you have not realized; they are based on the 2 latest secrets to happiness:

Convenience.

Ignorance.

Truth is, when you fuse both together; the destruction that entails may far exceeds any weapon that has ever been created (or probably to be created).

Is that not pathetic, what one would do to suit his/her own convenience? And is that not heart-breaking, how one would ignore the rest of the world and center-staged oneself? These 2 WMD penetrates through culture, race (i'm rascist towards my own race for being in the front-line), nationality; even faith. It is in fact, double the pain; to see my brethren in Christ to uphold and embrace the 2 timeless evils.

I am not entirely excluding myself by proclaiming that i am free from them. They are extremely enticing and addictive. And most of the time, sub-consciously they crawl up to my mind and whisper convincing arguments to prove themselves right. They win, sometimes.

But in each battle that i lost, for at least i am aware of it, i admit it, and i tirelessly attempt to win the next.

After all, is that not what we all ought to strive for? Not perfection (neither will we ever be), but rather the conscience, the will to repent and change, and the strength to do so.

"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil, is that good men do nothing."

By Sir Edmund Burke.
