Sometimes the most difficult problems have the easiest solutions.
I love all things pink. Imagine the lovely surprise when I came home to my new pink bedspread. (YES) And my numerous pink soft toys. Meshugana Bear is my fave!
(Anything black has been relegated to the bottom of the pile.Out of sight and out of mind.)
I have been enlightened. I was talking to my Dad. I know he looks so damn fierce and gangster-ish (not that he isn't, still) but he is so deep. Hmm...
I was thinking that in the LR, we're all walking towards death as the end. Like everything is transient and what I've contributed in the world might be so insignificant in the grand scheme of things. And he says there two kinds of people in the world who are...bad(for lack of a better word)
1. Evil people
2. Selfish people
So I was arguing that there was no harm in looking after ourselves first. Everyone does it. Most people anyway. And that selfish people don't know they're taking advantage of others so its not their fault. Then he asked me why I was so simplistic. He said two kinds of people exist.
1. Selfless
2. Selfish
The selfish take advantage of the selfless but the selfless are happy giving. But does that make the selfish want to take any less? No. They ask for more and more and eventually the selfless either
1. Dies
2. Dies.
So I said that would just make them cool, would it not?
"Here lies ____, who gave to the last, exchanged everything for others."
He said, no, it just shows that they're
1.Dumb
2. Arrogant.
These people firstly give so much at their own expense=dumb. And they think so highly of themselves. They think they're supermen/women who can give forever?=arrogant.
Cool. I've such a romantic view of things. No wonder Ms Chua says I always float off elsewhere and have a floaty personality. Frankly, I don't think it's my fault. My horoscope's to blame. (See? Another instance of shifty, in-own-world behaviour)

Okay here's some trivia. Taken from Times, Oct 12 09, Milestones, by M.J. Stephy
(Paul) Fay recounted witnessing Joseph Kennedy,the family patriarch, scold his children during a dinner in 1959 for spending too much money. After an uncomfortable silence, JFK (John F. Kennedy) piped up, "We've come to the conclusion that the only solution is to have Dad work harder."Labels: brown
