having the weekday blues

Life is always such a moron when u least expect it to be, especially when there's nothing much to do, and your mind runs wild like a convict who escaped from prison. I realised there is more to life than winning or losing: to win gracefully, to win like a loser, to lose like a winner and to lose ingloriously. Though it is a mere extension of the well known 'win or lose' concept, we often fail to realize them and let the end justify our means. More often than not, when we win at the expense of others, we feel proud of ourselves. Outrageous i say! But that is the way of life, and that's how we're supposed to live it. Because if we do not conform to these social rules, the only thing we stand to lose is our self worth, dignity and pride. Not so surprisingly, the three most valuable values to us are usually the root of our problems, because we are often too proud to give in, too weak to resist and too blind to see.

On another note, I am displeased by people who do not respond promptly, be it in virtual, or face-to-face communication. Like it or not, it only reflects the friendship hierarchy with glaring clarity. The later people respond, the less important their friends are in their social circle. In the event where you are occupied with something, at least have the courtesy of informing, and not take others for granted. If there is a legitimate reason for not being able to reply, fair enough, then let the other person know, I'm sure we'd all understand. Imagine having been treated the same way for lengthy periods of time, and suddenly having a favor being asked of you by that friend who neglected you. Having second thoughts about helping? Good, it shows you're human too. So, you claim to be busy, but what's the big deal anyway? Isn't there always a tomorrow? Any relationship is a two way exchange, and if there seems to be only one way traffic, then its not worth cherishing, much less having at all.

So.......
