outlandish-musings

Today is epic. I see the whirl of human err, I hear the voices of disputes, I feel the chock of black smoke. As Aunt Agony Ascends, Words flow, opinions flow. Anger engulfs, capsulate and abolishes, O' young one were you assimilated by assumptions, Entrapped in the bubble you protected yourself with? Anger, frustration, despair led to flight. One whose soul lingered for the other pair to flee. One who snickered and gloom, One who listened and remained impartial. Who was right and what is wrong? It makes no sense, but it tells a story. So flow and wither together with the trillions of moments out there. For the night is young and we have our paths. In stars we seek, in rhymes we find peace. -- 9/4/15

It's wee hours in the morning and looking back at my posts I see and concur that my values are the same. Previous night was eventful as such that again I felt the workload deepening and again the incompetency that perhaps I'm not right; at the same time I'm probably the only person who is willing to shoulder all these? Slept at 10+ PM and woke at intervals but I wanted to continue sleeping since I was albeit shag. Woke at 3+ AM thinking about work and decided that I should finish it once and for all. Now I'm here at 5:30AM, looking at Facebook once again I'm reminded of KFC's brilliant move in taking out straws. [ Recycling ] It's a familiar concept - but why do so many people wish to ignore it? Not only is it an environmental effect, marine and biodiversity are suffering. We pay tax for it, but at the same time, people don't understand that it is a 'privilege' to have excess. Knowing that we're living in privilege and that ther

Privilege. Owning a laptop is a privilege, having air-condition and a room and living in the safest country in the World is a privilege. Without a lack of money or having to worry about survival - that itself is the biggest privilege I can afford in the World. It's a term that's taken for granted so easily, especially for where I'm geographically located. Being granted a Citizenship of a first-world country is a privilege itself. Once the basic needs of survival have been met, now we're focused on improving the quality of life. With high-quality life conditions met more or less next, will be grooming ourselves from head to toe and seeking entertainment. Just seeking these out alone, itself is time-consuming and overwhelming to manage. Here's where we neglect most - the people around us or outside the circle. It's so easy to get entrapped around your own bubble and not care about what's happening outside your control. That is where most - if not all

Self-worth. It is something that everyday normal people battle with and irrevocably the pains and evils of all teenage drama. You're mechanically built to judge a person by their appearance and you analyze it against what is 'socially acceptable.' Against your upbringing and beliefs ingrained to you by family, you form your own set of values and cultivate your image based on your strengths. Once you don't meet the set standard of 'society norms' you fall back and start battling with your own self-image. Why is it that some people have that 'it' factor that you don't have? It's such a theatrical element played out over and over again. ----- 9/5/2016
