impact from psy312

Many of the times, we focus too much of our time and emotions on ourselves. We neglected what's happening in the world, what's happening around us because we are too busy taking care of our emotions. "He doesn't care bout me anymore" "She doesn't love me after all" "Why I'm the one who always got hurt?" "I'm so darn stress" "I'm not good enough" "I'm so hurt inside,nobody can understand what I'm feeling", sounds like one of your inner thoughts? Well, it's normal, you'r not selfish or egocentric. You do need time to be with yourself,but having those negative thoughts is stopping yourself from moving forward. You're holding yourself back. Now, who can help you? Yourself.

There are people suffering on street everyday,you'll notice this if you spend a little time observing what's going on in your surrounding while you'r on the streets. Injustice in the community, homeless people on the street, issues that have been hidden by governments, communities that were marginalized and living in poor condition, poverty. Why are there people still living in poverty while technology are advancing and life quality of certain people are improving?

Of course you can't change all of this by yourself, but you as part of the human being will be able to contribute to the changes, even a minor one will do. Be involve when there's good work. Transfer your focus from the inner self to the outside world. You'll find yourself become less pathetic and more energetic.

PSY312 Youth works and services is a course that I'm taking this semester. Being expose to topics that go beyond our comfortable zone, what is human right, what is voluntary works really challenge our thinking. There are good people doing good causes and fighting for various of rights out there, there is hope~
