Separate-ness

In the life that we all lead, we simplify things to suit our extremely complex nature. In short, we short-changed ourselves many times. We jump to conclusions without even knowing the full detailed stories behind the many events that may have lead to the this particular ending. An example will be one that happen last sunday when the soccer buddies help out this malay uncle. There was this old man who came and sat on one of the stone benches at the void who concluded that the malay uncle had fell and cut himself. However, the real reason for the blood was because the paramedic lady wanted to take some blood sample and the blood had not dried up. The malay uncle did fall but bleeding was not a result of the fall... See how dangerous things get when we presume based on limited knowledge.

Now! The above is not the main topic!! Ha Ha! Separate-ness... is what i wanna share. I hope i am able to express myself well on this topic because i have jumped to conclusion based on my limited knowledge of this topic. Its like slapping myself in my face!! Ok.. Lets start!

Individuality and exclusivity in the present stage of socialisation and world order has changed people's perceptions and beliefs. "i wanna be the special one!", "i wanna stand out from the rest of the people!", "I am different from the rest of those losers!" would be a crude way to put into perspective these concepts. I find this very disturbing...

Separate-ness causes people to put themselves in a higher or lower position than others and this is why we have the Ku Klux Clan, Hitler's extermination of Jews, Slavery and western imperialism on asian turf. Call these good and i will fight it out with you! Ha ha ha... My point here is that when you classify people together based on things other than them being human beings, we run the risk of having history repeat itselves!! I implore Chee Wee and Willy to start loving our neighbours!!

Ok! So much so for world concerns... Let's look at a more personal field. We have people who advocate that they are make changes to their lives and now look at how sucessful they have become and we all losers can only watch and drool at their sucess... Wah! How impress am i by their attitude! I respect the way they choose to live about their lives and gives them credit for it but i do not necessarily have to accept that it is the way to live!!

"...life is like a balance beam, a weighing scale... you win some you lose some from somewhere..." Morgan

For them to have not found out what they have lost and celebrate like crazy how sucessful they have become is indeed a very SAD thing!!

Look at things in totality. Just like the Tai Ji Ying Yang symbol.... "depicts a circle representing the universe; within it is a rotating image of two water drop like shapes. The black (Yin) and white (Yang) seem to feed off each other; as one gets stronger the other gets weaker and as one gets weaker the other gets stronger, always maintaining a perfect balance..." Do not extract yourself out of the equation and see things only from one side of it... Put your self in the equation and equals the sides...

See yourself as different and your prejudice of others will grow... Rather than separate, let complement the nature of each... We all love to celebrate success and to win is good... But to win and see yourself still very much like all those around you is an even better deal... Let not separate yourself from each other...
