I was travelling on the train today, and there were some young kids travelling with their parents as well.

As I was observing them, I can’t help but notice how kids always seem to be always carefree and enjoying life as it is.

And this suddenly had me thinking: what has happened to all of us as we have grown older? Are we the ones who have gotten ignorant and lost as we grow more ‘mature’?

So I tweeted this question, which appeared on my facebook wall, and 2 friends replied with a yes. Seems that we all are kinda sick with life as it is.

How did we become this way? Maybe we’ve been trying too hard to achieve what others tell us what we should be achieving.

Maybe if we look at what we have in greater detail, we might see that we richer that we thought. Maybe we just need to realize that we are humans, and we can’t achieve everything. The constant strive to achieve is only going to burn us out.

Maybe we just need to be contented.
