I took the road less traveled by, and got lost.

Insatiable?

Ang hirap kasi sa mga tao, hindi sila makunte-kuntento.

Bakit kaya 'yan ang madalas na nagiging dahilan sa mga pangyayaring 'di ka-nais-nais?
'Di kasi nakukuntento ang mga nasa posisyon kaya "absolute power corrupts absolutely". Hindi nakukuntento ang mga tao sa kahit sinong lider kaya hindi natatapos ang mga rally.

Pero hindi naman palaging ibig sabihin na kung negative ang isang bagay, 'yung kabaliktaran nun 'eh positive. Hindi ibig sabihin na dahil mahirap ang buhay kapag insatiable ka, magiging madali ang buhay kapag kuntento ka na. 'Eh parang mas-mahirap pa nga.

"I wish that you would all be as lucky as I am. That you could wake up one day and say, I don't want anything more," was what Bill Parrish (Anthony Hopkins) said in Meet Joe Black.

Oo, talagang swerte nga siya dahil mamamatay na siya sa panahong kuntento na siya sa buhay. Sabi ko nga, dapat namatay na'ko noon pa.

Ewan ko lang kung may nakapansin, pero napakadali kong makuntento. Ang makapagsulat lang sa notebook, makausap ang mga kaibigan, makapagbasa ng libro, kuntento na'ko. Ang makatawa, at makapagpatawa, kahit isang beses lang, 'eh masaya na'ko. 'Eh maraming beses ko nang nagawa ang mga 'yun. Maski nga ma-meet si Takeshi, na sobrang taas na pangarap 'eh nagawa ko na. At ang gusto ng mga magulang na ko na makitang makatapos ng kolehiyo ang lahat ng anak nila, tapos na rin.

Wala na'kong pangakong 'di pa natutupad, pangarap na 'di pa naaabot... Kung mamatay ako ngayon, wala akong "unfinished business" na magiging dahilan para maging multo ako. Wala na'kong ibang gagawin pa dito. Wala na akong gusto pang gawin.

Kailangan ba talagang may patunguhan ang buhay? Paano kung, kahit pinag-isipan mo na nang matagal, wala ka pa rin talagang magustuhang direksyon?

Hindi naman ako ganoon ka-unique para makapagbago ng mundo. Hindi nagbago ang mundo nang dumating ako, at malamang hindi magbabago ang mundo kung mawala ako. So bakit kailangan ko pa ring manatili? Bakit kailangan kong mahirapan sa paghahanap ng dahilan para sa lahat ng bagay, 'eh hindi ko na naman talaga gustong malaman, dahil nga kuntento na'ko. Kuntentung-kuntento na'ko. Masyado na nga akong swerte 'eh, nagawa ko nang lahat ng gusto ko, at wala na'kong kailangang ayusin para sa iba. Bakit hindi pa rin ako mawala?

Bakit kailangan kong pagtiyagaan ang mapangmatang mga lait at sermon ng ibang tao tungkol sa mga ginagawa kong sa totoo lang, hindi ko naman talaga gustong gawin? Bakit 'pag sinasabi kong ayaw kong magtrabaho, sasabihin nila, "Anong gagawin mo? Aasa ka na lang palagi sa mga magulang mo?" o 'di kaya, "Mag-isip ka nga. Paano ka ba mabubuhay?"

Bakit? Sino bang nagsabing gusto ko pang mabuhay? Nakita ko nang pinatutunguhan ng buhay kapag masipag at responsable ka, at nakita ko na rin ang nangyayari sa mga taong pinabayaan ang mga buhay nila. At kahit alin sa mga resulta, hindi ako interesado. Ayoko.

Gusto ko na kung nasaan ako noon. Ayoko na talaga ng kahit anong pagbabago.

"Pero kailangan 'eh," laging sinasabi ng kaibigan ko. Palibhasa siya, marami pang gustong gawin sa buhay niya. Pero ako talaga, wala na. Tapos na tapos na'ko. Wala na'kong hinahanap. Wala na'kong hinihintay. Araw-araw na lang, gigising ako at iisiping, "I don't want anything more."

But things just keep on coming.

baliw ka kase. sino nnman ba yang 'mapanglait' na pnagsasabi mo? napagalitan ka nanaman nila papa no? hahaha!

kaya wala kang unfinished business, kasi wala ka namang business to begin with. kaya pde ka na mamatay kasi wala ka namang sinisimulang bagay na tatagal o kailangan imaintain.

ayoko rin nagbabago ang mundo pero ganun tlga. mamatay na nga lng tayong lahat, lalo na yang mga linsiyak na rallyista na yan na salot sa buhay! mwahahaha!

@elinia: di ko naman dinadamay yung ibang tao 'eh. oki lang sa'kin na 'di sila kuntento, sabi ko nga, "palibhasa marami pa siyang gustong gawin sa buhay niya (yung friend ko)", ang nirereklamo ko lang, dapat 'yung mga taong kuntento na sa buhay, i.e. ako, 'eh hindi na magbago ang mundo, at matapos na lang ang existence. :P

dude isa lang ang masasabi ko, contentment is relative.

oo nga maaaring kuntento ka ngayon pero di mo rin masasabi

take a look around, bakit kaya di makuntento ang mga tao? di naman kasi sila nakatira sa magandang bahay, di naman kasi sila makapagaral sa magandang eskuwelahan tulad natin, di naman kasi sila pwedeng bumili ng CD o manood ng sine na basta-basta na lang...

life is a mystery as they say, di mo pwedeng bigyan ng tuldok ang buhay mo na sasabihin mong kuntento ka na dahil wala namang katiyakan ang lahat.

malay mo bukas makalawa may hanapin ka na lang bigla nang wala kang kadahilanan.

sa mundong ating ginagalawan lahat gumagalaw din. kahit may non-living thing, nagiging living thing na rin dahil kasama natin itong gumagalaw. maaaring tayo ang nagpapagalaw sa kanila nang di lang natin napapansin.

sorry ang haba ng comment ;)

pero sino ba naman ako para husgahan ka? wehehe comment lang ng isang taong di makunte-kuntento hehe ;)
