THE
GREATEST IRONY.
The
first post starts off a little curious. The irony in the world as it is the
greatest in the nature of us as human.
“Man
sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to
recuperate his health. He is so anxious about the future that he doesn't enjoy
the present: the result being that he does not live in the present nor the
future. He then lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having
never really lived”
~
Dalai Lama
“Sometimes
the time you feel lonely is the time you most need to be by yourself. “
~
Douglas Coupland, Shampoo Planet
The
biggest irony I see in people is as the words go: the grass is greener on the
other side. A little background on myself. I am a Asian girl who loves to
travel. And living in a city busting with live, my friends and I usually suffer
from wanderlust rather often. As we spoke of our dreams, it usually encompasses
a dream trip of one or two. Now this is what I found:
Asians dreamed to go Europe and America
Americans and Europeans love to go Asia

Ok
so what’s the irony, you may ask. In this epic world called earth, there are
tons of things to explore on each continent. However, people are flocking to cross
the Pacific to feel the “greener grass”. We have too often overly focused on
what’s at the other end of the world forgetting our own treasures at our end.
Are
you also currently going through a stage of irony in your life now?
I will
be posting some great travelling destinations soon. Forget Las Vegas and Italy
for a moment now and join me into the adventures of some not so common places
of interest across Asia.
