What's Next to Understanding

You've laid all your defenses. You've tried to open up and broaden your perspective. You've considered what's moral and immoral, from ethical to unethical. You've heard the story, you've tried to respond appropriately. You've tried to understand the person. But what's next in line?

Sometimes, trying to understand a person is really hard most especially when your brain waves do not match. But then again, when you've understood the person, where do you go after?

If you try to be give an advice, you'd probably end up arguing with that person (given that both of you have different vantage points.) And when you end up trying to advise the person (putting yourself in the person's perspective), you'd end up being a hypocrite.

Oh life.

A Message to a Friend

When you’re drunk, I feel useless. When you have problems, I feel like an ornament waiting to be broken. I feel unsure if I must bombard you with facts or I must stoop down and agree with what you say. You always say that things must go through a process. You say that things are just meant to be where they should be because of certain reasons. These things are rational and yes, applicable in life. But my question is: Why on earth can’t you apply these “principles” in your OWN life?

I’ve been exposed to life’s misery. And because of life’s lessons, I’ve been known to be the strong-frank person. What I mean is, being frank—I spoil your life and sadly, I expose the realities in between uncertainties.

I’ve never seen you so down. I’ve never seen you falter. Maybe now, I realize that even you can’t handle life’s vagueness.

I’m not angry at you. I’m just a little bit disappointed. Well yes, I’m being close minded (and I know that you know this that’s why you don’t open up stuff with me.) Maybe I just lack the ability to understand you or maybe, you just don’t want to be understood.

You are my friend. You are one of my closest. I hope one day, or better yet, after this, you may find true happiness. That’s my wish for you.

Rationality vs. Just Me

Sometimes, rationality complicates life. How funny is it that the people who are known to be more cerebral than me end up being caught in the vanity of hell whilst I end up in the dreads of heaven. Overdoing rationality logically speaks crap. Super-ego made at its finest.

Rant on Idealism

Once you end up realizing that you're at the brink of reality, you falter and panic. Remember that there are two sides of a coin. Just like what you said, it is the golden rule. However, put that into real perspective. You’ll lose. Sad? Nope. I’m assuming, you’re just bitter.
