Imperfection
I think life in the US is too good for many people that they get upset at the slightest imperfection. honestly, since being here for 3 years, i've met too many people who kick and scream when things don't go exactly the way they want.
while we strive to make everything perfect, people make mistake and circumstances do not always turn out the way we desire. so learn to adapt, make the best of every situation and quit the whining. kicking up a big fuss over a molehill doesn't make it easier for oneself and all those around. the situation may even become worse.
there is a girl in office who gets upset with almost everything. Yes, i agree our boss is not the best manager, but he is not the worst either. since she wants the job, just look on the bright side and press on. i mean, we all complain once in awhile but to be upset over everything that doesn't go your way? oh please.
seriously, if there are more important issues in her life that need to be fixed, i doubt she has energy for such trivial matters. she admits she has things easy most of the time. as a wife, she does not need to clean the house, cook dinner or iron her own clothes; she doesn't even know the price of grocery. she is lucky to have a man who is willing to do all these for her. thank goodness she has no complaints about him. i'll smack her if she does!!
then there are all these 'cloudy situations' (as carol puts it) among several of the girls that i hangout with. Ms A has something against Ms C and Ms D has issues with Ms E. man.... it was hard organizing get-togethers sometimes, cos we don't know who to invite or not.
i didn't remember having to deal with all these among my friends until i got here. even the guys are not any better. black, white, yellow - it doesn't matter. the guys here are americans and so full of themselves. everyone is so vocal but doesn't want to listen to another.
individualistic - i think that's the word to describe this load of shit. everyone for himself - the great american principle. i was taught to do things for the greater good, for the most part. but you will be an idiot to be so gracious. others will gladly step all over you - least anyone even bid an eyelid!! it is scary, sometimes, to realize how this society functions.
ok, there is no perfect world. it's a choice i made to move here, so i'll make the best out of the situation. it's my short week so i'm happy to get my friday off. hurray!!
