I've been wanting to blog about this for quite some time already but didn't really get down to doing it.


Jack's dad used to give him a monthly allowance of $500. Jack doesn't use up the whole sum of money and saves quite a bit every month. After a few months, his dad decided to give him $250 instead. Well, Jack felt that since he doesn't spend $500 every month, he should be able to get by with $250. However, there was a slight tinge of disappointment.


The $250 was just enough for Jack to get by. He could only afford the basic necessities. He was unable to dine at expensive restaurants and now he has to eat at fastfood joints and foodcourts. All of a sudden, his dad decides to stop giving him any money at all. Jack became very disappointed. He wondered why his dad had to do that to him.


Thinking bout it, wouldn't it be better if his dad had started off by giving him $100 a month, and increasing it to $250 and then gradually to $500? Why did his dad wanna spoil him in the first place, and then go down so harsh on him?


Well I guess more often than not, when things go wrong, we'll tend to ask "What's his problem man?". I think we should also consider the fact that "Is it my problem?" Thats how we get the phrase "Is it him, or is it just me?".


Maybe thats why I have no idea what to say. And why I have no idea how to react.
