A little story...

We all had the bad experience of feeling damn low at some point or other in our life.... It may be caused the passing of someone dear and close to heart, a break-up, stresses built up from trying to make a living or even trying to find out what worth is a minute you on this huge planet you try very hard to call your home but at the same instance feels a total stranger in this land where you constantly look for or lost your way out of this life...

Today I told my friends a story i thought was rather lame but found it to be extremely true as i am typing my thoughts down...
Have we at sometimes during our childhood fell down in front of many people or did some embarassing things and then got caught and cried damn hard till no one really took pity of us? If yes,read on... If not, nothing below will interest you...

The story goes like this....
A family outing to the beach was organised by the father and everyone in the family(mum, elder sister and a little boy) put on themselves the best beach wear they had and anticipated a beautiful evening... The Tan family after having park their car strolled towards the beach. The roads weren't exactly smooth and was in fact very bumpy...
The little boy had some trouble trying to overcome the obstaclelying along the way and the huge crowds gathered to enjoy the beautiful brezze... In trying to step over a small jutting tree root, he fell faced down onto the ground into a muddy patch... All eyes zeroed onto this poor little guy who was so much embarassement rather then pain that he cried and cried and cried...The family rushes to his aid and tries to help him up but the stubborn little boy just refuses to get up... He had rather stayed in that position than stand up to let the crowd see his face... Seconds and minutes passed by...he grew tired of trying to hide and stood up... No longer does he worry about falling again cause he know already how to get up and it doesn't really matter cause he is already so dirty anyway... He could no longer be bother with the crowd who was watching them moments ago which has since dwindled... He never need all those who was ny his side then to help him stand up again... He learn all that by himself that very day he first fell....
