W and I were asking so what if we tried, competed, fought and won? What does it mean?
I am so accomplished, while you are not.
You had everything, you were better than everyone.
I was...happy.
And so?
We're walking towards the same end.
Is what we're doing transient?
Of course not, the process, not the end, blah blah.
(sorry buddy, not what I'm taught in school though)
But
What makes you better than me?
Contribution to society?
How broadly this is defined.
And how narrowly it is viewed.
Contribution in terms of what everyone can see and recognise?
Tangible, black-white recorded contributions?
Or contributions from the heart?
Helping others by simply, being there.
Making things easier.
Helping others realise their dreams, in your own way?
What makes you>me?
She asked me what I felt I took/learnt from this school.
I just stared at her blankly.
I don't know how to start.
Or what to say.
It's been such a long time.
And so many things have happened.
Smiles, laughter and lots of pain.
Minus minus plus=?
Let's just say it better prepared me for life.
