in this freaking competitive world
to remember who you really are
hard to stop the competition
for looks, for fashion, for power, for money
even for love!
for all... competition and always the horrible cantata: the winner takes it all
every wants the best piece of everything
everybody willing to take but not to give back, specially with time
mmm? want want want they want
and
i just want some peace of mind
i don't need much money at all
and money and possessions mostly bring sorrows and suck up your time
i don't need a position or name or anything i feel, but to be alive and the "possibility of"
i feel i just a few friends around and some love but no rush
that is all, it is hard to remember that there is always more time than life...
but... how can you make people understand you are not greedy?
in a full of greed world?
mmm? maybe i should
read blindness again
saramago's lesson on the futility of it all
maybe everybody should read it
saramago's a genius of life and of detachment
after all he did win a nobel prize, huh?
another acquisition that doesn't, well, go
“In the end we discover the only condition for living is to die.”
-José Saramago quote

Yes, the world is competitive. People try to get what they want. I was in the chem lab and there are so many pre-med students. I can't believe those people are so in a hurry and push people aside in order to get what they want. But I realized that there are also nice people like you who is not greedy at all. I know you are one of rare people that are not greedy and very forgiven. I think you are one of people who know that you want and like. There are so many people who don't know what they really want and try to get something very stupid which bring them sorrow. But you are not. You are very smart girl.
