Carried Away

Have you ever been through the times where you got carried away from your original purposes and aims? What was your first reaction when you realized the people around have different intentions on handling problems? When was the last time you doubted one’s motives and yours? From time to time, we may find one who lost his soul, not knowing what life is all about other than competing, planning and winning. In dramas, we have the actors or actresses being drifted away from their interests, their original plans and aims, thus locking themselves up in the world where competitions will never end. In reality, we have those who work so hard in order to provide a more pleasant and more comfortable life style to their families, forgetting the time where the wives or husbands heat up the dinner over and over again so that the they could have something warm when they are back home, where the children fall asleep waiting for them, along with the cards specially made in school. There was a judge who commented one of the participants that he has forgotten the very first reason he chose to enter the singing competition, that he left his passion behind, that he got carried away from his love for singing to the desire of winning. Pretty common isn’t it?
