okay, here's something which i seriously do not understand. why do people do things just for the sake of doing it? why do they not consider the consequences of their actions? why do they like to follow the crowd and let others determine what is cool and what's not? why cant people just face up to the fact when it's right before them? why do people think only for now but rarely for the future? do they know that many times the future is ruined all because of a wrong decision they choose to make just to satisfy a want or a need which is temporary? this just reminds me of the story of Esau and Jacob in the Bible.
Esau was the elder son so he had the birthright of the firstborn. One day, after Esau came home from hunting, Jacob had just finished cooking stew and Esau was very hungry. So, Esau asked if Jacob could give him some of his stew and Jacob said that he'd give it in exchange for Esau's birthright. And in a moment of foolishness, Esau said, " yes, why not? I'm so hungry i could die, what has this birthright got to benefit me?" (self-translated) Because of this, Esau allowed Jacob to rob him of his birthright which was so precious all because he only saw what he needed at that moment. How foolish is that? haix..
