when unlike poles repel and mr maslow was all wrong
20081228
when you cant even afford to make your sister happy wif a 9.90 pencil case, it sucks BIG time.
when you cant even afford to treat ur mummy n sisters wif a tad above 5 per meal, the feeling that shrouded me was just something tt deserved to be chugged down so deep in the gutter.
when ur sister gave up on that 9.90 pencil case and went abt her luck wif a 4.90 one, and her hopes went flat...tt sucks as BIG, if not mega mighty BIGGER.

at this note, i could already hear most of you mouthing what a mega loser ive been, cannot even afford a 4.90 pencil case..

why tis world just love basking in the riches of life, that you have to put a value to everything?
my sister wasnt the centre of pandemonium when she didnt get her pencil case at the mall bt tt face she gave me was that of how my love for her might have been devalued when i cant even place a worthy price tag of 4.90?

for an eldest sibling, tts enuff to squeeze me in a wring of guilt.

thanks to this superficial world that has made a poor girl like me feel much so upset even abt things like tis..or maybe i just think a wee bit too much?

go figure. it must be maslow's hierarchy of needs theory.
tts when all the pieces fit ever so perfectly.

i shall give a breakdown of this ever popular theory of all time.

This theory states that humans have five basic needs :psychology, safety, love/belonging, esteem and self-actualization. These needs are arranged in a hierarchy where the higher needs come into focus when lower needs are satisfied.

Maslow's theory intuitively makes sense in general, aint it?

BUT, I personally think it is an ill-conceived concept that limits people in their struggle to live fullfilled lives the way it is. The notion of happiness is encapsulated in satisfying needs. In reality people overestimate the impact of satisfying a need. Like how wanting to buy that pencil case bt just cant ..can make me feel so down cos I feel its a need to never let ur sisters down. And you want to satisfy that need so bad that it makes you feel all battered. hah a bit too overblown there bt hell, you get it.

I think that the struggle of satisfying needs and avoiding pain is a major source of unhappiness in our society today. It is time we eradicate Maslow's theory.

till i get her that pencil case, i noe she'll be dropping pinsized hints.
i'll get for her alrite, when im not so financially challenged.

that's that. lets detach..

mum is doin her equipose of banishing my dad to the outer reaches and dropping her voice to the lowest register in instances like when she told me to: 'cook for your dad as well' (tis means that she hadnt ignored him completely). shes the hallmark of theatrical genius i tell ya. drama mama..

and my dad..hes been staring into that lifeless square wif strings of numbers so long and graphs much that i swear i wun wana see numbers and plunging and skyscraping graphs for the next decade if i were him. what made him think that this robotic square box could promise him the life he wishes for all of us through such lifelessness of that machine, im yet to find out.

or maybe i shudnt even bother, cos if i do i might just derail his/her life. its that bad.

they have been goin on like tis on and off since...not the faintest idea.

oh well, i grant them that merci.
ive been ms tolerant that long.
maybe tis way my life will hold more shades of colours...more drama. woots!
