Have You Ever Wondered Why or How... (2)

Have you ever wondered why or how.....

1.

Some couples were so in love and married each other. Their love could turn into so much hatred that they could even harm or kill each other?

2.

Some single people yearn to get married, while those who are married yearn to get out of it and yearn to be single again. My pastor said that marriage is like a fly trap. Those who are out want to get in; those who are in want to get out!

3.

The grass in the next field looks so much greener. Yet when you are in the field, it does not look so green after all.

4.

The lake looks so calm and inviting. When you jump into it, you find it is deeper than you can ever imagine! "Still water runs deep".

5.

When you don't have the money, you yearn to be a millionaire. Yet when you have the millions you are just still as unhappy and dissatisfied. Perhaps this is why Howard Hughs said, "If only I could turn the clock back, I think I was happiest when I was a shoe-shine boy!"

6.

The blind can "see" and the deaf can "hear" much more sharply than many of us who have eyes and ears, yet neither see nor hear!

7.

Some Singaporeans cannot pass by a day without complaining. They find fault with everybody and everything .... except themselves.

8.

If the Creator intends for us to be carnivorous, why, we will have fangs like Mr. Wolf too. So let us enjoy the multitude of fruits and plants that the Creator has given us. They are better for our health too.

9.

The moment we have a headache, we pop in a panadol. Panadols are chemically made.
Let us go back to the basics of herbs. We spend tons of dollars on "Essence of Chicken", etc. forgetting that ren herbs or "Birdnests for the Poor" can be so easily grown in our garden and pots of soil. While the Easterners go for Western medicine, the Westerners are looking East for medicinal cures!

10.

The people who are really clever and wise tend to be quieter, while those with a little knowledge tend to talk so much. Is this why someone has come up with the saying, "Empty vessels make the most noise"?

11.

Westerners with fair skin like to be tanned and spend hours under the sun on the beaches, while Asians want to be fair and carry umbrellas to shade against the hot sun? Voluptuous ladies like to have smaller boobs; while whose with smaller boobs want to go for enlargement? Chinese yearn to have bigger eyes while some Indians think their eyes are too big?

12.

We forget that Singapore is not ruled by the Gods but by human beings who try to be perfect like the Gods. Hence to err is human; to forgive divine.

Who? When? Where? What? Why? I guess these W5 will always make our life more colorful and interesting. If we always have answers to everything..... life will indeed be dull. The questions will always goad us on to accept life's challenges and to make the most of everything.

"Oh! God, give me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change;
Courage to change the things I can!
And wisdom to know the difference!" (adapted from "Anonymous")
