Just some thoughts
40min on the treadmill today..wooh a sense of achievement..but anyway while I was working out a few thoughts suddenly crossed my mind.There's this amazement at how humans are able to selectively rem only the few things they want/wish to remember and "happily" forget the rest (is this called "self-deception"??)..all these in a bid to protect themselves from further hurt and to continue living in the world they've created for themselves, or in an effort to convince oneself and others tt what really happened is not one's fault-that they too are the victims. What I would like to comment here is that one hand doesn't clap; there'll always be fault on all sides, whether u choose to acknowledge or not. If you've been hurt, instead of forgetting or covering up, create happier memories to replace. If you choose to continue thinking that you are not at fault for what happened and that ur actions are a consequence of others' actions, let me remind this: while u r pointing ur index finger at others, ur other 3 fingers are in fact pointing back at urself. Instead of biting on that people have caused ur life to be so, reflect on what you've done first. I cannot proclaim that I've done so successfully myself becox I, too, have committed the same mistake, but I recognized it and constantly remind myself not to make the same mistake of blaming others 1st again. Nobody is a saint and there is no one who can stay at the top forever. One advice from my senior: when u hold the upper hand and make ur way to the top, do not trample on people on the way. becos when u fall, there'll be people along the way who'll make u pay twice as much for what you've done to them.p/s: a note to add..why r there so many people getting married this yr?!?!?! i just rcvd a "red" sms from a frd I've known since pri 1..haiz..still stuck betwn going and not going..grrrr
