You can’t laugh at the same joke again & again, but why do you keep crying over the same thing over & over again?

Life as you deem it

So many people like to ask ‘ what is life? ‘ expecting the other party to know what it is all about. But one forgets that the other party is just as clueless as you. Life is how you deem it. How you view life, how you view yourself, how you view others, how you deal with things, how you feel, etc. All these are not something one can define so easily, much less the other party. Yet people still question.

How many of us actually deviates from the path and chase something we deem as important. It may be right it may not be; it may be ideal or perhaps not. So many controversies so many questions left unanswered. Yet life still goes on.

I guess all I want to say is..

No matter whatever happens, life still goes on. So just suck it up and move your ass forward. Time and tide waits for no man.

Why so complicated?

Why do people like to make life seem so complicated? It is just a simple process of growing up, of completing a life cycle. But people just have to deviate, have to prolong life, have to artificially create life, what for? Giving in to temptation, to greed, to power, to hate; but you ignore love, ignore life, ignore health, ignore helping others or letting others help you.

Why do humans hanker over things that are only shown on serials? Things that are perfect. Naive thinking. If those things do happen, then there is no need for shows anymore. ‘Cos all these were created out of fantasies, what people hoped to have but could not. If life was so perfect, there is no purpose in living it. It’d be so dull, so boring, without challenges nor change.

Overrated love, overrated sex, overrated everything.

People talk about ‘oh he’s the untouchable. He’s too high in power to bother about us’; ‘oh I won’t be able to succeed in life. I’m too dumb.’; etc etc. You never know if you never try. There is no one that is an untouchable (of course unless you’re referring to the caste system).. Everyone is a mere human being. No one more superior than the other. Yes you can be better at something, but it does not give you the right to lord over the other. The other person may be better than you in 10 other ways. As there is always someone worse off than you, there is also always someone who is better than you. Be humble and never forget that.

In life, there are so many question marks which will never get answered. Probably even till the day you die. But you know something? Be thankful you are alive and make a difference today. A small difference is all it takes to make things seem a ‘lil better. A small smile, a thank you, a welcome, a helping hand, etc.

Little actions, when accumulated, goes a long way.

Life gives you..

The Perishers – Sway

I talk to you as to a friend
I hope that’s what you’ve come to be
It feels as though we’ve made amends
Like we found a way eventually

A couple who have broken up come together again and talked. He feels as though they’re back to how they were in the past – friends. He hopes that she sees him the same way. That’s how he feels.

It was you who picked the pieces up
When I was a broken soul
And then glued me back together
Returned to me what others stole

She was the one who was always there for him, cleaning up the mess for him, comforting him, putting him back on his two feet.

I don’t wanna hurt you
I don’t wanna make you sway
Like I know I’ve done before
I will not do it anymore
I’ve always been a dreamer
I’ve had my head among the clouds
Now that I’m coming down
Won’t you be my solid ground?

& now, he’s asking her to be his cushion while he’s falling. (How irresponsible can he get?!) He does not want to hurt her anymore, yet he asks her to be his solid ground when he’s falling. That’s a really mean thing a guy can do. – we’re not together, but could you be there for me when I’m down?- How would the girl feel!

I look at you and see a friend
I hope that’s what you wanna be
Are we back now where it all began
Have you finally forgiven me?

& here he is asking for forgiveness. Telling her that he sees her as a friend, hoping she wishes for the friendship too. Asking if they’re back to how things were originally, and asking if she has finally forgiven him (seems like a pretty serious wrong he had committed for this phrase to be in).

You gathered my dreams in
When they all blew away
And then tricked them back into me
You saved me I was almost dead

& once again, she was always there for him. Helping him, comforting him, and saving him from losing himself totally. This lady here seems like a really nice woman, who stands by her guy and helps him w all she has. Yet this guy had hurt her so deeply she left. Now that they have crossed paths again, how does she view him I wonder.

Anyways, that is just my interpretation of the song. You’re welcomed to air how you view it. I’m just writing it in my pov.

Just for fun :)

Of Ducks and Cranes.

The taoist philosopher Chuan Tzu (369-286 BC) was a great believer in just being yourself. he illustrated this point by referring to the duck and the crane.

The duck, he said, with its squat body and short necks and legs, is perfectly suited to bobbing about on the water.
The crane, on the other hand, with its slender neck and legs is perfectly suited to wading in the shallows.
Each bird gets along just fine by acting in accordance with its own nature.
In the same way, we, too, get along best simply by being ourselves.

- excerpt from Mind Your Body, Gary Hayden

People accept you for who you are. Cover up for who you are, and you risk losing yourself forever. Your entirety.

One guy out there.

The Quitter

When you’re lost in the Wild, and you’re scared as a child,
And Death looks you bang in the eye,
And you’re sore as a boil, it’s according to Hoyle
To cock your revolver and . . . die.
But the Code of a Man says: “Fight all you can,”
And self-dissolution is barred.
In hunger and woe, oh, it’s easy to blow . . .
It’s the hell-served-for-breakfast that’s hard.

“You’re sick of the game!” Well, now, that’s a shame.
You’re young and you’re brave and you’re bright.
“You’ve had a raw deal!” I know — but don’t squeal,
Buck up, do your damnedest, and fight.
It’s the plugging away that will win you the day,
So don’t be a piker, old pard!
Just draw on your grit; it’s so easy to quit:
It’s the keeping-your-chin-up that’s hard.

It’s easy to cry that you’re beaten — and die;
It’s easy to crawfish and crawl;
But to fight and to fight when hope’s out of sight –
Why, that’s the best game of them all!
And though you come out of each grueling bout,
All broken and beaten and scarred,
Just have one more try — it’s dead easy to die,
It’s the keeping-on-living that’s hard.

— Robert William Service

This is true. Those that fight despite being out of hope, those that keep on living despite everything that happened.. These are the people who are strong. Who have weathered the storm and emerged victorious. These are the people who fought hard and long to stand where they are now.

What will you do when the world ends?

Someone posted me that question. Well, I do not have a definite answer. Neither do you. If it really does come, there is nothing we can do as well. We’re not God. We just have to accept the fact that it is the end. Though I believe that it will not happen too soon. 2012 is definitely too soon. It will not happen within this generation nor the next. But I can’t confirm about the rest. That’s about all I know. I am no expert in this field, just my take.

I want to be by the people I love when the world ends.

The latest news about the earthquake, tsunami, and explosions in Japan is really heart wrenching. Their calmness and kindness really touched the heart of many and really sets on thinking; how can a human, already in dire straits, still put someone else in front of them? Wells, it has been proven it is possible. It is all but the human that decides what to do. Of course not neglecting other wordly issues that just happened too – like the Libyan unrest, Bahrain violence, etc. Yes there is a lot of attention given to Japan now, but let us not forget that there are still problems going on elsewhere. It is just sad to see many people scramble to help big issues and as a result, neglect the small. e.g tsunami , haiti which people went all out to help.
