The idea suddenly appeared in my mind when I looked at my dogs and i compare it with those stray dogs outside. I realized that even though they are all dogs but all of them have different style of living.
While my dogs enjoy the cleanliness of the house and have a fix time for their meal at home, stray dogs need to find a new shade to overnight every day as they do not own a proper place to sleep. They have to run around in the big cities hunting for their food. I feel pity for them when they had to search in the dustbin for leftover food as they are too afraid of human.
Surviving for the next day somehow show that they are capable of living outside and for a stray dog to be alive until adult shows that they are really strong as there were no one taking care of them from young.
Then i started thinking about human. Different people have different life too. In cantonese they call it "tong yan em tong meng". Some people born in the worst way (for instance, school girl giving birth in the school toilet due to fear of letting people know), yet some people born in the most luxurious private hospital which are well taken care of.
Some people have difficulties satisfying their hunger daily yet some have difficulties finishing up their meal and end up wasting them.
Some struggled to have proper clothes to keep themselves warm yet some have several air con at home to keep themselves cold.
Some need to worry about where to get basic necessity the next day yet some need to worry about where to go to have fun the next day.
Some people might think that they deserve to be that way because they did not worked enough to be living comfortably but have you thought of it that cert of degree need to be paid in high price. For a family which could not afford to pay for the college fees, how can their children be capable of earning enough? Some might not even have the privilege to join primary school and they wont be able to have the communication skill as they will only be at home in order to save their expenses outside.
As for me, whom will be getting married soon, are not from wealthy family but we do live in comfortable lifestyle. Somehow older generation from Klang tend to save as much as possible as they are afraid that they might need these money in the future.
Pity my wife who have to live with it now as im still new in the working world. Hopefully as time passes, i will get better then we will live a better lifestyle. I am not saying that im torturing my wife thou. Just spending money wisely.
