问世

今世贵平之分，因前世的造化？

为何人人平等，平等不如人人？

是命？是运？是注定？

Sentimentalist

I am sentimental. And with age, it gets more refined and defined.

It used to be a big mash of overwhelming, uncontrollable emotions...exploding fast and left me quivering with rage or tears. I didn't have words for them, they were as real as you saw.

Bad deeds were done, harsh words spoken and much hurt rendered.

Age is a marvellous cure for recklessness and spontanity. Age makes you selective. Age justifies forgetfulness. Age makes memories more beautiful or excruciating.

Like aged whisky, the flavours bring reminisence and clarity of the past.

Unconsciously, I have distanced myself from them. Recollection brings back the familiar feeling once again, albeit with more precision, on old sentiments.

It is always laced with questions and resignation.

I am sentimental. But Time has passed.

I can only carry on.

The rights of wrongs

Everyone wants to be right. Or think they are right. Or hope to be right most of the time.

Who wants to be wrong, unless ignorant or intentional?

In our world of meritocracy, social/moral values, mainstream perceptions...we have to be more right than wrong, isn't it?

But is that 'right', right for you?

Are you alright with living a life of 'right'?

It seems warped, insensitive, maybe even immoral at times.

The sense of guilt, shame, despair from being wrong in the eyes of many others.

But the idea of being right is the precedence of results mostly from others' pasts. We see the consequences and deem their choices wrong...for them.

And we take reference of their experiences to right our own wrongs.

Easy. And save us the unnecessary trouble and time.

But how do you know their 'right' is right for you? How to know a 'right' if there are no 'wrongs'? How do you know the perceived 'wrong' won't be right for you? Do you have the courage to be wrong then? Can we be allowed to be wrong then?

For the stability of the 'common good' (another social indicator), we cant't.

And if we believe that, is it right or wrong for you?
