There was a time when people were so enthusiastic to bring their friends to this big playground. It was oh-so-fun. Therein lies many new playthings which none has seen nor heard. Freedom and joy were like sand in the sandbox. Peals of laughter were melody to the ear. The children and their friends always enjoy their play in this big playground. They led a carefree life.
Years have passed them by. They grew older and became senior members of the playground. Those who have gone before them tasked them to look after the young ones. What seem like a fun thing has now become laborious. To some of them, they took this responsibility in their stride and were happy about it. Whilst others were to preoccupied with this new role that they have forgotten the reason why they have come to this big playground. They eventually grew weary and dread coming to this big playground. Why don’t they stop coming altogether, you may ask? Well, it has been internalised that they have to meet the obligation. On one side of the coin, some lucky ones rediscovered their sole purpose again, however, there are also others who never seem to find their true joy anymore. Day in day out, their toil were sorrowful.They fought an inner war which no one ever know. How can a guppy ever swim against the opposing current? It may try and try, but one day, it will realise all efforts are futile.
