The debate

Two nature-lovers debating faith:

Believer: The ungraspably infinite beauty of the universe makes me wonder,  it can't be "just nature"!

Rationalist: That it is "just nature" makes the universe ungraspably, infinitely beautiful for me.

Choosy

When the poorer man goes to a shop of luxuries he has to be choosy, to be able to fit his budget.
When the rich man goes to the same shop he has to be choosy, to not clutter his elegant home.

Verde

Grass being greener on the other side is not just an adage.  I just found that even weeds that grow untended and unnoticed looks interesting and beautiful in a new place.

Missing my Missus

The more beautiful the place or the experience, the more I miss her.

Gastroamnesia

After a rather heavy lunch I resolved to forget about dinner, and around dinner time, I forgot what I had for lunch!

The unuseless internet

It is amazing how the internet can be life changing, money saving, time saving and still make you feel like an idiot at the same time.

I came across a well marketed super-fast language learning scheme called the Pimsleur approach at a low price and which seemed to make compete sense, from an ad placed in some website. I usually ignore most ads, but this one was hard to miss, and listened through their entire presentation.

Just before I almost purchased it online, I decided to read more reviews, which turned out to discourage me because of the hidden costs and ineffectiveness beyond a basic level and how its almost a scam. But they were also advertising alternative products.

By this time I basically lost interest in the whole thing, again realising the simple notion that there are no free lunches and no shortcuts to acquiring a real skill.

Lazy Crazy

Will to work + Enthusiasm = Hard work

Will to work + Intelligence = Good work

Wish to work + Intelligence + Laziness = Smart work!

Auto Corr??t

My mobile's keypad has twin features of auto-correct and auto-corrupt. Nobody can control which gets enabled though!

Promises

Humans, with their fickle minds, fragile lives, finite abilities and fading resolves, can never be fully trusted to keep a promise.
Promises are like words written in sand in a beach - only the lucky ones survive the test of time.

Dont wait to..

How often we just assume longevity of ourselves or dear ones, and hesitate to express feelings, delay cherished experiences, hold back love that we are really capable of giving?
Life is much more fragile than how we like to think it is.
Don't wait to - love.
