I really dk how to start....... Looking through these photos, I feel wretched for complaining about my minuscule problems. Not having enough clothes, being too fat, being ugly etc. When there are people out there who's so much more worse off than me! I've tried so many times to close my eyes and look away from the injustices in the world (for example when the elderly has nothing to eat, no one to talk to and living in a dirty and empty god-forsaken house with no one to care for them) but I don't think it can work for long?

I mean like, sharing these photos on facebook or any social networks aren't of much use and only serves to remind us that this world sucks and all and that humanity isn't all that good. I am too absorbed in my life to make time out for them. And I hate myself for that. I keep thinking "I'll do it next time, I'll go donate my time to the old folk's home and do charity work when I'm free" but I've never actually done it. It's my laziness.

But the thing is- I think I don't only want to volunteer in an old folk's home, I want to do more than that. I want to raise money for the old people living in those kind of hdb flats that has poor lighting and the houses are smaller than my living room. I want their children to do their goddamn duty and provide for them. I want the government to provide better living conditions for them. I want them to fork out at least like 500,000 for them bimonthly? I don't think that's too hard as our government is so stinking rich. I get the whole "control the economy thing" in econs but... Argh. I also can't get why anyone would abandon their parents when in their life, all they did was sacrifice their time, money, sleep and love for them. You think you can throw them away just because you're fully fledged now? SHAME ON THESE PEOPLE. SHAME ON YOU! There might be exceptions where you're badly treated but didn't you grow up just fine? Growing up is never an excuse to disown your parents.

I don't know la I don't want to think of such heartbreaking issues anymore. Makes me even sadder that I'm not doing anything about it.
