Be Happy for Me, At Least..

‘At least’ is phrase commonly associated with losers who’s envious or trying to seek solace from what he’s got.

Blue Ball

Here’s a few examples:

  • At least my car is faster than yours, when his friend got a new car.
  • At least I earn 4 times than you, when his friend got a raise.
  • At least my house is bigger, when his friend bought a new house.

Of course in our lives, it’d be almost impossible to dismiss these losers ASS. In English, it’s called snobbish.

During my umrah, I gave at least a few spins on what needs to be done to become a betterman. And I realised, I’m verbal all the time. That practically makes me a MAN bitch.

No matter how hard I tried to rule out slight enviousness, it always comes knocking hard on my doorstep. The Oil Man, Bankers, IT consultants, the married couples, the newly weds, you name it, I envy them all.

But out of that desperation, I realized, at least I made enough to meet my monthly cut. What about the poor? The less fortunate? The disabled? The orphans?

So here’s a few ways for me counter that stupid feeling;

  1. Life is short. Heaven is eternity.
  2. Masha Allah. Empathize others, God has willed it.
  3. Insha Allah. My time will come, God’s willing.
  4. F it!

In all honesty, there is really no need to be envious. The key here is to never give up and never fail to try.

Because tonight will be the night
That I will fall for you over again
Don’t make me change my mind

Or I won’t live to see another day
I swear it’s true
Because a girl like you’s impossible to find

*this was sung by theperfectautumn on Youtube. Fall for You.

ps: I meant to write an emo post, somehow I got deviated from my own topic. I guess, NH has mellowed down.

pss: I’ve showed you an example of how to use at least in a humble manner.

At least.. Sekarang baru saffa sedar, I used these word to comfort my heart. Precisely, to be thankful :wink: (seek solace from what I has got)

“Eventhough I Cant go back to my village, at least I Raya with my family”

Couldnt listen to the song, speaker rosak. :roll:

there’s nothing wrong with being envious FOR all the RIGHT reasons. like, challenging yourself to be better than that person. play fair. ‘at least’ that’s how i’ve been.

NOTE: ‘at least’ denotes ‘survival’ not ‘loser’ :cool:

Instead of “I realized, at least I made …”, try “at least I realized I made …” so that you’ll feel better, I guess. :)

at least. haha.

“at least i have shelter, food and clothings.”

that does not make me a loser, but a survivor. and the less fortunate, THE ultimate survivors. :shock:

but then again, ‘at least’ is a COMMON association to ‘loser’. not the ONLY association to ‘loser’. :roll:

aku pun terfikir sedemikian. semakin berusia semakin menyedari akan kelemahan dan kekurangan diri. semakin kita mendekatkan diri kepada-NYA.
