HUMANITY AND WEAKNESSES

Monday, July 13, 2009

The world almost stopped when a music icon passed on a couple of weeks ago. All of a sudden, everyone only had kind words to say, much unlike when he was alive. I guess in a way, those who ridiculed and mocked him felt guilty about his passing. For it seemed his tragic life had ultimately led him to an untimely death. People saw him self-destruct and yet no one who knew him did enough to save him. Where was all the love when he needed it the most?


I guess his death reminded us all of our own weaknesses. About the inherent selfishness to look after our own lives, and failing to really make a difference in someone else's. About our sometimes lack of compassion to those who are obviously crying out for help. And that amidst it all, we all just really thrive on love, affection and understanding. And that without it, we all die a slow death. Maybe not physical death, at least not right away, but death of our spirits. 

There was a whole point to this post. But now I forget what it is. I was going to write about how I have no choice but to deal with politics at work, about how I've been wanting change and yet I haven't really been doing anything about it. I was going to write about how up until now, I am not sure if I want a future with R, and by future I mean a commitment, paperwork and all. And if I go by my own rule - any doubt is a reason to drop it and leave it.

It's 3AM, and it's too late (or early) to be thinking about life. Maybe I should just pop one of those happy pills. And hope tomorrow I get my answers.
