Musings of A confused Teen

There are a gazillion reasons for me to be confused, and it is justified. Because I observe, I think and I believe.. Can't help it if it confuses me so much.

Is it OKAY to enjoy life while few of them are losing theirs every minute?
Is it accepted to laugh when a catastrophe has happened in some corner of the world?
Is it right to be sorry for yourself some times despite you having everything?
Are your pleasures real pleasures? Compared to those who have greater pleasures.
Are your sorrows worth your tears? Because somewhere there is a greater sorrow.
Is your life significant enough to talk about?
Are you good or bad? Are there rules for being sad or happy?
Who measures happiness? Is there a scale for sorrow too? 
What is good and what is great? Who defines this for you?
Can you define love or life? Are they definite? Are you infinite?
Do people lie to spread happiness? Does truth always triumph?
Am I important to anyone? Do people care? Humanity is alive?

OHMYGODDDDD! I seriously don't know the answer to any of these questions. But all I know is..
YES you are important, people do care and love. There are answers to every question, all you need to do is search. For each the answer might be different and that is why you can not cheat on this test. Your pleasures and sorrows are big, for you. Maybe no one else cares, but you do. You should. You are important to yourself, and make yourself proud. Only if you can impress yourself, you can impress another. Let us face it, all of us can not be all sacrificing beings, we can't stay away from desire. Because we are human, not supernatural, and nothing expects us to be supernatural. So it alright to face life however you want to face it, because unethical, immoral and against societal norms doesn't exist definitely. Have your own morals and ethics. Do good, be good!
