I don't see myself succeding greatly in something, anything for that matter. I mean, I understand that not everyone can be Micheal Phelps or Abraham Licoln, but I've been wondering, if not everyone can be then why should anyone even be at all?
I mean, I know, life isn't fair but that alone is not enough to atone for the gross unproportionate distribution of talents, money and luck around the world. Why can people like Paris Hilton be allowed to stay in a hotel which costs US$200,00 per night just because she wants to when there are poor people out there in Africa just struggling to snap out of poverty? Why is it that there are people who can score straight As their whole life effortlessly when there are others out there who study so hard just to scrape by to the next level? Are you telling me that by saying ' Life is unfair', is enough an explanation for this? Are you telling me, that we should just accept that life is unfair without at least trying to question the rationale behind it all?
Of course, for the people who belong to the group where they are the ones getting the brighter side of life, it would be much easier for them to accept that Life is unfair, since they are getting all the benefits. But for the majority who belong to the other side, is the only way to survive really just to accept all that has been thrown to us until we just grow old and die?
You know, being Paris Hilton does not gurantee you a smooth sailing life. But it would definitely make life a whole lot easier. Yeah, "Money does not make the world go round huh?" Well that's the politically correct way of saying it. In reality, right now, money is in fact, the only way round.
Anyway back to my point about what I am good at. Honestly, nothing. I dare not say that I am the best at something. I dare not say that I can do something really really well. All my life, I've always been second. Being second is not a bad thing, I know. But trust me, being second your entire life is definitely frustrating. Being treated like a Second your whole life just makes you accept the fact that you are destined for that spot and should simply pull out a chair and sit in that position forever. Being Second Best, is one of the worse place on earth to be.
I hate Second. Give me a Last any day.
