Do unto others what you want others to do unto you.

I was reading the paper a few days ago, and I have to say that for once, I am pleasantly surprised at the letters that are actually getting published. It was an article about religious attitudes and the active soliciting of members into different religious sects. I was really amused that it made it into the papers that, and the writer quoted the line from the collected works, commonly known as the Bible; Do unto others what you want others to do unto you. I have to agree with this, and that if you are all for your religion, then good for you. If you don't want me to try converting you to my beliefs, do not try your luck with me.

I have to applaud whatever is happening around me, and I have to say that I have had a rather interesting time reading the local paper. That's a first.

Living standards.

I was reading about the progress of a nation, a rather familiar small country. I noticed that it had a lot to say about where they were, and where they have come since then. It was all good and jolly and mostly patriotic and inspiring, until I came across a certain section. It was about a man, who obviously spent most of his life in that country giving his two cents worth.

This particular individual was happy with the progress of the infrastructure, namely with transportation and the public works. I paused for quite a while actually, and I was wondering as to how much we are supposed to be thankful for what we have. I have always made it such a point that I am thankful that I have what I have, thanking those around me if they had a part to play in that. However, I think that that is exaggerated and overdone when even basic and normal progress of a society is brought out, and public opinion is shaped to be such that the point of - noone owes you a living, you'd still be in a hut in the woods if not for this administration. HOWEVER, has it dawned on that same group of people that this is very much the same thing that is happening all around the world? Are countries not developing and regressing at some pace or other?

My two cents worth; Noonne owes you a living. Play your part, and if this administration doesnt cut it, dont keep living in ignorance, find where you want to be!

What the fuck

As many will say, the most important thing in interpersonal relationships is the semblance of loyalty. I am only quoting askmen.com on statistics, but because men are as such (territorial and jealous), apparently it is necessary to know that your partner is loyal to you.

Loyalty, and the perception of loyalty may be interpreted by the amount of trust one party has of the other. trust that can be built up over time, trust that can be nurtured from simple, little things like letting the other party know that they matter, staying contactable, honesty, et cetera.

However, what happens when these things are not there? When the gun is jumped and the dice thrown without the slightest bit of consideration for the repercussions? I'll tell you. What happens is that the resulting repercussions will slowly but surely rock the foundations of the relationship. And depending on the strength of the building, it may cause the temple to fall. This is, I feel, true for not only couples, but for many interpersonal relationships.

What has been going down

Well, the past few days have been really eventful, and there are times when I realize that there are many things that we just simply brush aside, and as such, they accumulate. This can be rather detrimental as as a previous friend once said, a hella long time ago, that if you keep it in you, you will explode someday. I guess that was what happened. Things got out of hand as there was nothing done about it. It wasnt the same thing happening, but the result of them was the same. They all ate away at the very foundation of any human interpersonal relationship.

From a conversation with an old friend, all this has happened before. After a while, it's just a replay of situations and stories. If only I had the clear liquid in the vial that Potter had... What was it... so that I will get all that I want. Was it Liquid Luck?

Phewwww

And now I am totally addicted. I really wanna tack fast.. and now I am taking ages to tack. Suddenly all I can think about is the wind in my hair, and board skimming over the surface of the water. The pull of the sail. The feeling of sailing out into the open sea.

Perhaps this is what I am made off, what I want. The feeling of freedom.

Phwoaaaa!

Someday, I will be there....

life's progress

There are so many things that are needed to be done, and there are so many many more distractions. It is high time that I need to concentrate, and get things done!

On another note, I got a call from an old friend, and it is going to be interesting to meet up again! It's always good to meet up with old friends.

topics that have been bothering me

On tiny scraps of paper that I found all over my desk, here goes!

I still stand by the fact that if I can get down on paper a bit of what I think about, I'll be a great man~

I was watching a show about a total psycho - Just because you are totally convinced about yourself, dont make it better to the person next to you.
