About Christianity

there are many things in life that would make us envy others, because there are a lot of things others have that we do not have. maybe, you would like to have a more fun childhood compared to what you had. maybe, you want to have a girl/boyfriend when you are the only one in your group of friends who is still single. maybe, you just want to be rich. or cool. or smart. or sporty. or just have a normal healthy body.

there are a lot of things i want which others have, and yet i do not have. sometimes you think life is unfair. why must i be poor when others are rich? or maybe why must i be the one who is not cool or smart enough? or maybe, why must i be the one getting an illness when all the others have a healthy body? are these some of the questions you asked yourself?

everyone has different things. true, compared to some others we might really feel inferior. what i have she also has. what i don't have, she has it. but i think, and although sometimes i envy others, we were not meant to be the same as others. God creates every individual differently. He made us all unique. no 2 people on earth has the same DNA or fingerprint. no 2 people has exactly the same looks. even twins look different. so, similiarly, no 2 people would have exactly the same things. because, if life is to be thoroughly fair, God would have created 4 billion Mr or Miss X instead of 4 billion different people. of course, if you want me to show you proof from The Holy Bible, i do not have it. you see what i say and decide for yourself if i am wrong.

so we see some people who look like they have everything. although i am working, i am still technically a student. so i will give an example from a student perspective. a common perspective. for example: Miss X is pretty, smart, atheletic, popular, rich and there are tons of people who want to make friends with her. on the other hand, Miss Y looks ordinary, is not too smart, not very outdoor person, low profile and just a poor girl. this is not an exaggerated example. in every school there will always be this kind of people. always. well, at least in schools in my country.

so, if i have to say, i would say i belong to the Miss Y group. last time i used to envy others. maybe a little jealous. nothing you can do. if you are not born smart, you cannot make yourself get smarter. you can only get better grades by working harder. if you are not pretty, you cannot get pretty unless you have a huge makeover. but i believe there are other things Miss Y has that Miss X do not have. maybe, the friends around Miss X were just superficial friends, because she is pretty and popular and everyone wants to be with her. maybe, Miss Y friends were true friends, because even though she had nothing to boast about, her friends did not mind. this is just an example. it may not neccessary be true.

so, yes, we have many things we want yet cannot get. girls might not get the smartest boyfriend on earth. guys may not get the sexiest and prettiest girl on earth. you look at others and you dream to be like them. so, in the end, i think we are just wasting our time thinking this kind of thing. God has everything planned out for us. what He meant for us will be for us. what He does not meant to give us, we will not get it. yes, we should work for the things we want. but, if my aim is to get a smart boyfriend or a pretty girlfriend, or to be as smart as my friend or as cool as my peers just because all the others have, i think we are wasting our time.

because everyone is made differently, has a different purpose in life, and therefore the things we get and have are also different. of course, if i live in a war zone, i too would have hope for peace. i too would have dream a day where i could walk in the streets without fear of being blown to pieces.

there are things we cannot get, and some which are hard to get. but in the end, you have to ask yourself, what you dream and work for, is it constructive or neccessary? if i become the most popular in school, would i be truely happy? you might, or you might not. everyone is different. so you have to think, and pray about it, because there are things in life you know that no matter how much you try, how much you pray, how much you ask, how much you hope and dream, you can never get it. just like how, for example, i will never be able to become the smartest person to walk the surface of this earth. simple as that.
