2]Does the need to reiterate love for another stem from the absolute absence of it or the doubt of it?
3]I can not be passionate about any thing. I carry all my baggage at all times, and I get drawn by the wind only too easily. It is the only natural way of living I have experienced and I must stop trying to live otherwise. I'll drift.
4]I have had a very safe childhood. My major grudges are that my parents left me to grow up into my own. I did most of my mentoring. Considering the realities of life on earth, I am absolutely privileged-both my parents were present, I knew them from the start, both were my own, I wasn't molested, beaten, taught to be a girl, I have never seen a person murdered, never been compelled to kill another, I have never starved, not had to save my mother from a drunken beating, cheating husband or an addiction, not had to take up cudgels on behalf of myself much less a people, never been beaten out of my own home with nothing but the clothes on my back, never had to bear the curse of colour, caste or religion, never been scarred by seeing the humiliation of another, never cowered for life in a war...I have got a true complete chance at life...
5]The way people behave and the things they say are who they are. I must stop thinking that they are only fooling around just because I would behave in their manner only if I wished to entertain.
People are clues unto themselves.
6]Industrialization has gifted us the marvel of 2-minute lives-Just Add Water. We have forgotten the aromas and earthy flavours of the real deal.
Just because some one looks it, does not mean he is it. Stereotypes are outsourced and mass produced.
7]The best way to manage relationships is to not nurture them. Let them grow and assume the plainness of weeds. Let them survive on their own merit. Don't give them thought or time, you'll want returns on your investments, and greed sticks to our insides.
8]How can we lay claim on an artist's work? How can we compete to 'own' them?
Why can we not build centers housing all the works of an artist in a place that he loved most and each be allowed to pay respect?
9]Isn't it criminal to have children in the times we live?
10]We are the children that would question-What did you do to our home?
11]It is very saddening that we choose to like traits in people like ice-cream flavours, and easily dump them if they taste a tad different. Has our fear of falling ill crept into our relationships as well? Is the fulfillment of vows a requisite only for marriages?
12]It is best to leave when the going is good.
13]I am very good at moving on. When a relationship, phase or lifetime is over, it is over.
14]Some major things happen for no reason at all. There are no lessons to learn, no one to blame, only to suffer a weird mood and get back to life.
15]I love the style of the 8o's best.
16]Why does popular culture paint Love over every other painful feeling? Why don't we talk plain life? Why gloss up, thin out, and dumb down?
17]The excesses of the rich are paid for by the poor. There is no barrier to the imagination of their whims: they can play toy soldiers with real men and maximum gore; a wife can defend her husband for unleashing his perverseness on a child; eating mud can be labeled habit with a straight face; children can be trained to become dancing monkeys (reminds me painfully of Sohrab in The Kite Runner-at least his excuse was that he was an orphan).
I think I understand why most lust after power. Like every addiction, it fortifies weakness.
18]The only men I will ever truly love will be dead or writers I will never meet. There is much to match up too and none can. As Shakespeare said-Ay, in the catalogue ye go for men.
He is definitely for all time.:)
