thoughts to ponder: borrowed thoughts from few good thinkers

--title borrowed from my cousin

i would like to make myself believe that the world is still inhabited by people who cultivate its lands by merely living as authentic human occupants...

"jealousy permits you to think that the reason why you get annoyed is that you couldn't and wouldn't do how that 'fUcKin' biAtCh' do the flirting!"-- my friend jaycee

"when we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand. a friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness"-- some testimonial in friendster

"the more people i kill, the farther from home i feel"-- capt. miller, saving private ryan

teka, ako din dapat bida! haha!!

tanong ko lang,
-why is third time always called stupidity?
-why do we have to submit ourselves to systems? education and labor are cults that leave us no choice but ride the wagon.
-why do we strictly care about what others will think of us? they do not make our lives! we have our own self-project and they, too, have their own lives and problems. they care less about us.
-why are we all afraid to say "i love" you toward a person the moment we feel it? yes, restrictions are often considered, but did we ever make it an excuse that the feeling might be gone tomorrow? it's momentary. we just have to let them know. no issues, no friendships broken. thing is, we just can't...
-how can we afford to suspend bliss for people's remarks? real happiness is always a one-time offer. its escape is always expected.
-why do we sometimes let people decide for ourselves, directly and not? we are the ones who suffer the consequences and all they give is sympathy. they just talk and talk, and we swallow the pain.
