RIch men might not be generous.

I am back to square one again.

I am so obsessed by my recent indulgence in self-pity, I practically depleted my last cents on senseless alcohol comsumption. The wallet is getting lighter these days and I am definitely a few swipes away from bursting my credit limit. Me being me, I am never hesitant in parting with my hard-earned dough with buds who are worth it and with peeps who need it. Generosity is one of my better traits but with almost empty pockets jingling coins...I have to rein in this bounteous heart of mine.

Still...though I am a poor man, I am never stingy. Maybe a little pound-foolish at times but always empathetic with others' plights. Firstly I DUN have alot to part with, so I won't be any richer saving that few bucks. Secondly, I sincerely hope that any tiny bit I passed on, can make a small difference in their lifes. Maybe one more meal, one lesser hunger pangs. Thirdly, this world do need some love from somewhere or someone...and I wish to be the advocator of this beautiful cause.

For I have been a lucky man to be blessed with lovely people who have rallied around in times of despair too. Marc lend me a couple of hundreds without prompting. Sebast offered his hundreds immediately when my chips are down. My younger brother took out his thousands for my gambling debts. Winnie stood by me even when I have nothing to offer in return. Uncle Alex settled my 2 months' rental. Anderson shared his sesmester's fees. My stingy sister always responded to my desperations. And of coz my dear mother! What can I say? Consistently concerned for her children quietly. And there are more. These wonderful souls never need reciporcrations, need no invitations and have no hesitations. I didn't ask. They weren't instigated. I always declined. They always persisted. Their love to me sustain my strength in carrying on and in good faith, I would love to pay some forward.

Spread some love, people! The world is not just about you and your (in)material needs!

Even if good men really die young, at least those they touched might go on to touch many more. For me, that is a good enough reason.
