So It Goes

That you love every other place but here. And why is that?

The traffic is a pain. The leaders are untrustable. Everywhere else is doing better financially. The government is corrupt. There is undue biasness in society. Things are second class. Working hours are too long, pay is not lucrative enough, social benefits are meagre, children get a lower grade education. Important things are jacked up in prices way too much. Public transport is lousy. The community is uncaring. Crime rate is climbing. Opportunities of success are bleak. Houses are too small. The air is hazy. We do too many direct copycat efforts of overseas television programs.
Everyone else is leaving.

Like I told someone once, if you choose the easy way out by leaving, you solve your problems, no doubt. But you don't solve everyone else's. And if everyone thinks the same way, then we only bring things down further.

Stand and say you will be here. That your heart beats with loyalty. Pride. Hope. That your hands are ready to be put to work, and your mind ever determined that you will let the renown be channelled here and NOT elsewhere. Right here.

God put us here for a specific purpose. Do you not think that perhaps you are foregoing yours?
