Two in a row
Gonna start rambling here, don't mind anything from here on
Anyways been looking at my random quotes (not that i think anyone ever notice it)
One particular quote is "Needing someone is like needing a parachute. If he/she isn't
there the first time you need him/her, chances are you won't be needing that person
again" I've always had mixed feeling about this quote, from my personal experience I
understand it. However does that also mean that life is without a second chance? I
guess a world without second chances would be a dark one. But if it really is like a
parachute then a second chance would come too late as we are all at the mercy of time.
I saw some oldies tv stuff from Hong Kong recently, one had a story of how a crack
addict got clean and honestly tried to live a life of hard work. At every turn however,
no one ever gave him a chance, society, work, even his own family. Ultimately it forced
him to live his life as a drug dealer in-order to survive. Can we truly place the blame on
him? or do we place it on society as a scape goat even tho each and everyone of us
are a part of this unfair society? Anyways I think I've said enough of this, just something
to think about.
Happy Father's Day this weekend to all the fathers of the world
More ranting...
Humans have a memory that fades in time so that we can live easier forgetting all our
mistake of the past. For me there are still mistake that i have been unable to forget or at lease
unconsciously don't want to forget. I have tried to use it as motivation, or as a learning
experience but no matter how I disguise it, basically it's still there in my mind staring back
at me. Forgetting it seems to belittle the magnitude of the mistake. Maybe one day I can
make up for it...

Chun ho~ how are u? I agree wit u about the human memory thingy..many times..may be unconsciously, i dont wanna forget sth which made me sad.. it's kinda contradicting. i wanna forget. but i know it's also good to let it stay for encouraging me/ reminding me not to make the same mistake again. yet...the feeling of pain hasn't gone away..
It's sad to say dat's our society...even tho how much I hate to admit it!!! Alot of humans just wont give the other a second chance but there are still humans that are willing to give a second chance~ Just dont think much~
