Vini, Vidi

Just some disjointed thoughts of some things I see in people all around.

I see people battling to prove something that was proved long ago, take the next step and act instead of looking astonished.

I see people who are described as honest, is honest the right word or is rude a more fitting description?

I see some people who've lost things that were never their's, to them I say, you lose you learn, be careful who you stand up against next time.

I see ghosts of the past rising, to them I say, that was long ago, in the past you belong, in the past you stay.

I see a beautiful smile, keep it up, it's the only thing that makes it worth it.

I see a desperate soul, to you I say, you taught me not to despair, do you really need a lesson from me?

I see alien thoughts, some are good, some are bad, to all of us I say, treat them like you'd treat a snake, milk it for it's poison, but remember that at the end of the day it's still a poison, never ever forget that

A trip down memory lane

Well, today I drove the wifey to work, then headed to my own work.

Just as I dropped her off, I had this urge to listen to this CD that the wifey had gotten me back from Prague, I pulled over, walked to the trunk, looked for it and found it.

I played it and suddenly I was back 8 months in time to the day she gave me that CD, I remembered every day of the month before she accepted my proposal of marriage.

Each and every single track of this CD has a memory for me, some good and some painful, but it was a good feeling re-visiting that period, remembering every word, every smile and every car trip I had listening to this music.

Strange what music does, don't you think ?

Quote of the day

A blind man knows not the difference between those who push him to excel and those who push him to his doom.

El 2a3ma elli yenaggesoh zay elli yewaddeeh (Toned down for the female audience)

Peace

Strange really how a man changes in such short time lapses.

I remember a different me, no more than a year ago, someone who had ambitions, was always looking for change, on a constant look-out for exotic life-styles, I was on a journey of self-fulfillment then.

Things have changed greatly ever since, I'm a changed man, looking for steadiness, avoiding trouble, not sticking out of the crows and with no ambitions except to carry on with normal life at a steady slow pace.

Perhaps my age is finally starting to show, maybe it's the gratification of taking a large leap, or maybe now I have a lot to lose, so I'm preserving.

At any rate, I'm now enjoying the luxurious slow rhythm of life, which - I think - is good.

Mixed up ideals

Whatever happenned to this world, is being polite considered hypocricy?!!!

Have we - as a people - reached the point of confusing honesty with rudeness and recklessness?!!!

Is a person two-faced cause he was too embarassed to refuse a favour but wasn't happy about doing it?!!!

Is a person honest and courageous for speaking proudly of his sins without resenting or quitting them??!!!!

Wake up people, or we're all going down the drain (Even further).

Corrosion

Corrosion can be defined as the disintegration of a material into its constituent atoms due to chemical reactions with its surroundings

Some thinking

I've been reading a few blogs recently, some of them known for their frequency of updates and others for their gore and total contempt of other's beliefs.

Now, I will not go as far as denying people the freedom of expressing their own opinions, I will not even dignify the views presented on these blogs by discussing them here or anywhere.

I will, however point some views on how the owners of these blogs handle their posts.

1. Being against an idea or presenting a contradicting idea does not necessarily mean degreading the concept you are addressing by constantly bombarding other people's beliefs, affiliations or tendencies, in doing so, you degrade both yourself and the idea you're presenting.

2. In people's attempts to un-dignify or de-throne an idea, they have gone as far as breaking their own rules, now this - in my humble opinion - shows the author for what they are, I leave that for your imagination.

3. Some people keep complaining about the current state of events in general, I agree, things might be bad, maybe even worse than described, but, have you offered an alternative, NO, instead, you've just highlighted something already highlighted, so either present an answer or leave the matter untouched, no need to re-open already decaying wounds, you'll only spread mal-content and not offer a solution.

That's it for today.
