Mr. Diamond

The past few days, I heard news about this guy who got knocked down by taxi while he was trying to help others involved in an accident. It was tragic but I didn't really pay much attention until now that I realised he is someone I had met before. I remembered him as the guy who stopped traffic in order to look for those diamond earrings he got for his 'gf' which dropped out of his pocket. I wasn't thrilled then. However, I am touched by his thoughtfulness towards others even strangers, now. Perhaps, it really doesn't pay to be nice unless you want to twist it into a blessing in ugly disguise.

Last weekend, I was told to appreciate the things that are given to me, even if they aren't what I want because people really try very hard to please me. Like how I should be happy as long as someone got me a diamond because I wanted it even if it isn't in the design or size I wanted. I just think that they don't understand. I don't want anything for the sake of owing one. Anyway, I didn't really desire having diamond, I was simply singing in tune with them when they asked me what I want from jewellery shop. I insisted on having the things I truly want and not compromise for anything less. It's all or none.

Yet, I am having second thought now. Perhaps I have been too stubborn. I really should appreciate from the way others think for me.
