Lesson of life values.
My piano teacher taught me quite a number of life thoery today.
People should learn to appreciate arts.
Arts can be in many forms. Music, drawing and poetry etc.
Those people who doesn't like arts = no value in life = no life
In arts, you get to learn why some artists love to draw picture in certain way. What are they trying to tell us? What does their painting depicts? A picture of their life? Or a picture that shows other people life?
Invisible things make visible things.
I remembered this sentence she said.
The needs of human. Example: thirst.
The feeling of thirsty is invisble. That's why human invented cups to contain water. Cups = visible. This is how invisble things make visble things.
That's why they have drama plays. Sometime we see ourselves in the character and met the same situation. But, will we ever do the same as them to solve the problem or is we will choose other alternative? A better way? Why is it better? Often we are not satisfy with our needs. We tend to get influence by people around us. We love comparison. Comparison become part of us that whenever we saw others have something that we don't have and we compared. He can afford, so why can't I? This is how human become materialistic. The society we lived in. Children grow up in the fast pace society. How parents affect their children mindset. Parents comparing which school their children got into. Children comparing how much their parents earned. This is how comparison begins. This is how high society look down on the average people? Perhaps that apply for certain people. You dress with gucci clothings, doesn't means that people around you must dress the same in order to be your friend. If everyone dress the same, think the same as you, then there won't be any interesting things happening. You can afford this doesn't means that people around you could afford too. Never look down on people, because one day, you might not know you might end up in their shoes. Even though no matter how demanding the society is, we need to have our own standard, our own expectation. And that doesn't means that once we become rich or highly respected, we can look down on others. This is not contradicting, or am I?
Life can appear to be simple. But what's beneath it, you may never know. You can see some couples appear to be happy when others are around. Yet beneath the relation, they may have quarrels and disagreements with each other. Ha..
The values of life. There are still lots of things for me to explore.
I learnt alot of things from my secondary school friends I met up with today. Their life, their family and their friends. My life, my family and my friends. :)

Life is great.
