Reality TV?
If there's any reason why people blog, it's because they have something to say or that they're really in the mood to sprout some nonsense due to boredom. I am doing this cos of the latter.
Reported back at camp in the morning to do duty. Kinda suck but oh well.
Bought the wrong thing from the IT fair which really pissed me off cos it meant I squeezed with millions of undesirable, unattractive and stinky people at Suntec along with BM, DB and the cake for nothing.
Sometimes when we watch TV shows, we always look forward to having that kinda lifestyle, be it being disgustingly rich, have perfect figures or the perfect relationships. Inevitably, we draw a comparison from what we see on TV with what we have on our plates (in the real life). What we have always seem lesser. Is this a healthy thought?
When I see TV shows that display the undying love between a couple or the immense loyalty among friends, I can't help but wonder, do such things really exist? Or has it been so obscure that we barely see them in action real-time. Have we lost the ability to feel so strongly for others because we'd like to think of ourselves as independent beings with the courage to exist alone - have we become non-gregarious?
What could be the reason(s) behind friends who draw apart or lovers who break up? Lost of common topics? Dying passion? Mundane routines? There could be so many reasons, and some even quite ridiculous, that breaks up/ down any relationship. So in this case, do all relationships have an expiry date?
As follow-up action, what is expected of each party involved? What dictates which relationships to salvage or which to just let go with dignity and pride? Is it always heartless to let something go so easily? Then if we really do want to save something, what caused the breakdown of a relationship in the first place. Does it deserve a second chance - the I'm-Sorry's, the I-forgive-you's, the tears, the sadness and grief and blah blah blah?
IMO, if something else requires so much work other than work itself, it's probably time to re-evaluate your priorities. To succeed in life, we prioritise, in order to strike a balance. Same goes for relationships - which are your "must-haves"? Then put in more effort in those. Those that are seemingly worth less, can easily be chucked aside, isn't it? I'm not being callous here, just honest and simple. ¶ 9:34 AM
