The Star Fish Story (once again)

lately, a blue bird told me that...

In this corrupted world, everything comes with a price.

There's no such thing as "just being nice".

well, that's not entirely true.

Thou the chances are low, but there definitely still exist people who would "just be nice".

But then again, it's up to you to evaluate whether they are really tat nice,

or they have other intentions rite..?

Positivism wins over negativism any time.

As corrupted as the world is now, there's not much harm to believe in this.

Be optimistic about the world, even when most circumstances indicates otherwise.

Because, when everyone turns pessimistic, those circumstances deteriorate.

So then, after much pondering and reflection,

a story I heard before popped into my mind.

It's called "The Star Fish Story." (I blogged about it before in 2008)

The Summary of the Story:

One day, it was low-tide at the beach and numerous star fish were washed ashore. Since star fish need water to survive, a man started to pick up the star fish. One by one, he flung them back into the sea. After a while, another man approached him and said, "Stop it. This is pointless. It wouldn't make a difference, the tides will bring them back to shore again." The man looked at him. Picked up another star fish and flung it into the sea. Looking at that direction, he replied, "I made a difference to that one."

After this story, for me, it did help me to be kinder to people.

Everyone has their own problems, never stop being kind/nice.

Because even if it's just that small deed, it can mean a lot

and can make a difference in other people's life.

This is what I believe in ^^

But it aint easy to be nice all the time.
People tend to take you for granted and you may feel depreciated.

But then again, the gateway to Heaven is narrow and tough as compared to the gateway to Hell.

Real rewards will be given in the afterlife :)
