Alone

No its not about the movie. I have not watched it yet.
But I have realised as we grow older, with more things in hands to handle, I am starting to become more and more….alone.
It is like a competition everywhere. Even among friends. I can’t say how. Maybe the definition of friends changes when we get older. Well I am no longer a teenager.
No one understands each other anymore, even among the family.
It is true, everybody is but for himself. I shall not get angry with that anymore.
I have to face it alone. No one is going to help when in need. At this age, help seems like a tool to win acceptance.
I have to face it. I only have myself. People are only going to sympathise if I fail or die. Or well, what can they do right? Everyone is but for himself. Love is scarce.
Yes to me now opposite of love is not hate, but selfishness. And selfishness is not something bad. It is normal. A nature.
Come what may.

    Hey Zicheng, I just stumbled on your blog and I have to say I’m pleasantly surprised! You express your emotions pretty well, eh!Reading someone else’s thoughts that mirror some of mine is rather cathartic. You do belong in FASS. I’ll see you next year yeah?haha, hope you’re doing fine now. Anyway, perhaps the opposite of love is indifference. That is what I’ve always subscribed to. Selfishness is more an inextricable product of human nature and society, in my opinion. But just because people are egocentric at times might not necessarily mean that they have stopped caring about you.
