Sorry to disappoint u all with the misleading title XD
I'm extremely apologetic to my dear blog to whom I have been indifferent recently. But really, there will always come a time when there are more interesting things to do, so i don't really care =P Recently, I've been fixated on my computer for almost the entire day watching the seemingly endless episodes of Friends, and at the same time learning a thing or two about humor, only to realise that those lines aren't exactly applicable in real life situations, with the exception of really close friends who are of the same frequency, or a couple happily attached. I don't suppose when you happen to buy a drink and ask your friends whether they'd like one, only to be overwhelmed by the amount of requests, you'd say 'okay okay i was just being polite' casually. XD that would shatter even the cold-hearted. Nevertheless, there could never be another comedy series that tickled my funny bone so much my stomach actually hurts after an hour or so. I regret not buying the complete series earlier, but better late than never =)'better safe than sorry' doesn't really apply here dudes.
It is somewhat heartwarming that the number of philanthropists is proportionate to the increasing number of millionaires in modern day. An example would be the ever gracious bill gates who will not hesitate to help the needy given the riches at his disposal. 0.1% of his wealth in notes could kill even the strongest man alive. Yet, that is not why i brought up this issue. Philanthropists are usually portrayed as generous and sincere people...but(here we go)i bet every dime i have that it's just an ostensible act to conceal the relatively more unsightly ones. If that's not the issue, then they're just putting up a facade to raise their respectability (yes...some ppl can't earn it, so they buy it). Until today, there has never been a philanthropist who donated half or more of his wealth to charity, so herein lies the 'I can help you get richer, healthier and stronger, but I'll never let you rise beyond myself' kind of mentality that i assume MOST of us possess. And when the recipients are eventually emancipated from former disasters and could potentially pose a threat, the giving ceases. It is akin to learning Kungfu from a Jackie Chan. I'm sure he'll teach all the basics, but he definitely wouldn't teach you to kick the other guy in the man balls if you were losing because that's he's ultimate under-the-belt move and you'd win fights hands down all the time. Still, let's not discount the fact that there remains a glimmer of hope that regular people actually care about others as can be seen from various charitable activities going on in poverty stricken areas like zimbabwe and east timor. Haha so now we can only hope, that somehow hoping to change our ways will change our ways in the midst of hopelessness. Remember, Jackie Chan...MAN BALLS! Likely? U decide...
