One of these days, I shall take a break and call back!

Tomorrow look brighter than today, but the time for action is today. So, I have to keep up with this urge to strive hard. No matter how hard I try stability seem far from green light. Whatever! I like this and I surrender my life to extemporaneousness. However, tonight I am feeling a severe headache and a little bit tired. Is mundane actions eating up so much of my time that I can't even pick up the phone for the new sparks? One of these days, I shall take a break and call back!

Have my empathy

Someone wants to dupe me? Try me, I love a challenge. Be wary, it is not going to be an easy task to pull one over me! Perhaps this person might turn to be smart enough to devise a plan, in that case, I respect. Thanks to my Lord, history shows that so far all such plans came with my knowledge. However, I love to help! Helping people, letting people win at times, give me a warm feeling inside, so I just might let it pitch on! However, if this turn out to be lame enough, have my empathy...

Making sure not to get pulled over by a traffic cop

I love speed, live on nervous energy and work under pressure but Maldives is only good for the slow movers, not much adventure for the energetics! I feel it, when my engine is fired up and revving hard enough to dust the road, there is no choice but move slowly on the first gear! My smoke was the only thing that kept me slow on the road, even that is said to be banned. Yeah, I can take up an extreme sport like, diving or surfing, but I am not rich enough yet to live that life. Well, I have people who depend on me, can't let them down for my adventures... This is fucking frustrating... I guess the only option now is to secretly shift the gear and let it speed, making sure not to get pulled over by a traffic cop.

Self Criticism: Shame on me!!!

There are people who prefer easy going life and refuse to struggle! Not everyone has the energy, vision and resources to excel in life! So is my high energy and enthusiasm fit for all? No, too much of anything is good for nothing and too much of me is unbearable too. My frustrations deserve to point fingers and to out burst with steam... However, will that motivate others? So for now I am freezing all that I want to say, shame on me!!!

So tell me, is there anything worth dying for in your life?

Dr. Martin Luther King said "If You've Got Nothing Worth Dying For, You've Got Nothing Worth Living For!" In a quest to find what people take worth dying for, I have being posing some questions to most of my friends. First I asked, would you die for your kid(s)? All without hesitation said yes! At least all of my friends said so! Next I asked, would you die for your partner? Most hesitated and those eventually said no! Than I asked, would you die for your Mum? Few thought about it for a few seconds and those few said no! I continued to ask, would you die for your Dad? Nearly all said no and very few said yes! Hmm, interesting... Next I asked, would you die for your country? All said no! What? Last I asked would you die for your religion? This question made nearly all of them to go into a deep thought, as if they wanted to say no but found it hard to say so! Eventually they did said yes, more or less like against their will! At least all had something worth dying for, giving them something worth living for!

Well, I believe what Martin wanted to say is not about dying but something way old, like Greek old. Where how much passion someone had in life was with what they were judged! It is not about how willing you are to throw your soul to death, more of the passion to fight for a cause, for a belief, for others and your betterment and for the world you live in. In this passionate fight are you willing to die or rather struggle if it calls for it! In this respect, without such a passion it is hard to stand up and keep going, to hurdle over obstacles and difficulties that life so like to throw at us. However today, when we say passion, it is more or less tangled with another, but a much volatile word called love and even sex for some.

If I am to give an example it would be like the passion Muslims had in the Golden Age, I believe the passion for God is something worth dying for! However the concept of Jihad as used now-a-days sound both stupid and confusing, I would not recommend it as worth dying! It is also like the passion Romeo+Juliet had, though it was only a play and I would never recommend it as worth dying! These example do not fit to our world now, in a way I want to convey it, as today the world has changed, the fights and struggles has changed! However, I believe we humans are still capable of attaining such passion and to do great things with it. I believe altruism is the key for such passion! So tell me, is there anything worth dying for in your life?

Who are you role modeling or imitation?

It is said that in life we learn from our mistakes. However, I have come to this epiphany that nobody, I repeat nobody, in my known life has ever learned from their mistakes. No wonder why people all around the world make the same mistakes over and over again. They live their life over and over again with the same habits and ideas. Falling to the same traps right after standing up. Some call it habits, some blame it on genetics, some go as far as blaming others. Truth is we humans are not meant to learn from mistakes.

So the question is how do we learn? When it comes to behaviour there is only one way that I trust to learn. We learn by imitation or by following role models. Sure we have trend setters and leaders. Even they are shaped by the same rules and only very few have enough will power and wisdom to break free and prove otherwise.

The saddest news is my country seriously lacks good role models! So who are you role modeling or imitation? Or may I say, who would you rather role model or imitate?

Public Affection!

I was enjoying a coffee with a friend, in a stimulating conversation as usual, when suddenly all attention of the coffee shop was drowned to a couple walking in holding hands and practically clinging. I could not help but raised by eyebrow with a smirk at the girl, it was unconscious so can't help it. The guy show it and looked at the girl's returned smile, tightened his grab on her! Oh! my precious!

At that point my friend turned to me and asked. Why do you think they act like that? That question kept me thinking, with some reflections to the past! Well, truth be told, I was there, did that! To me enjoying a hug or a kiss in the public as a way of affection is nothing earth shattering. However, there are social formalities and absurdities. So based on my personal experience I told him.

A kid holding the hand of mum or dad is another story. Two girls doing it can mean anything! However, when a grown up couple does it I think such public affection can only mean one of two things! Either they are new in love or it is a sign of insecurity! Just see who is holding whose hand! If it seems that one is holding the others hand, the person holding the hand has an insecurity in the relationship. If it seems that both holding hands on a common ground and enjoying together, they are most probably new in love.
