I
just realised today that gloria
stole my best friend, back in kindergarden! She
demanded to know if I was from Jurong Calvary- after
school today outside popular, then she
claimed that meiting was always
her best friend,
just because they were bus-buddies! lOl where's the logic.. And I was like, "
no no no! I've
never seen you before back then.." and she was like, "yes! yes! Meiting
was my best friend!" So you see, glor did
steal my best friend back then, cos meiting was in
my class, and I mean, logically speaking, she was more of
my best friend than yours.
Haha .
So there. (: But we
shared meiting anyway.. It's so coincidental! Who would have thought..
I talked to chay for over an hour just now.. I really don't know where we find so many subjects to talk about, but this was like with Tracy, Daphne & Kai Xuan! (:
I have decided that being peeved at
people will
never work, & that I shouldn't take myself too seriously. I have decided that
forgiveness might be the way after all, and because of that, I have
retracted my statement in the entry before (the one about those people). I don't mean that I didn't mean what I said, it's more of like, if I leave it as it is, it'll
never go away. And I'd
rather be happy than dignified, thank you.
Come to think of it, forgiveness is better than revenge. And I don't speak from the "saint"'s point of view, but in everyday life occasions, this applies as well.
Let's say- your darling pet
dog bites you. Because
people are always going "eye for an eye... tit for tat.." etc. Therefore it would be logical to--
bite the dog back. But unfortunately, that is not what we'll want to be doing. Instead, (based on observation alone), what someone did was to go "
ouch!", give the doggie a little friendly whack, then give it a
bone (reward). So, if we're
forever going "EYE FOR AN EYE", we'll just end up having
no eyes, or someone else's (because it seems that the phrase implies the
exchange of eyes). Forgiving is one thing, accepting is another, & forgetting is the 3rd. Most
people will never forget, but I don't think it'll hurt much to forgive, though it's something I seem to have difficulty doing.
Which brings me to the point of dishing
shit back to the world.. During Lit. today, me & carmen were discussing
the man in the bowler hat (some really cool poem), and then we were just chatting and slacking when carmen said something about how the world will be perfect because it will end one day, or something terribly sad that went along that line. Then we were talking about the world (generalisation)
hurting us, and giving us Quote
shit Unquote. Then I was saying how giving back the
shit would only stink up everyone, because we'll be getting our hands dirty (figuretively), when it was initially only our face which was
shitty.
What is the purpose of getting both
people stinky, when all we have to do is
take a bath? (solve the problem ourselves)
(This whole paragraph doesn't seem to make sense...)
