Work sucks, I know

I should be working, but I am really grumpy. And not able to see how faith, humility, courage, DEFINITELY not grace nor humour comes into the equation. And if fafalynx can bitch about work all the time on his blog, so can I.

It is Sunday. I am sleep-deprived. I have a job next week - the conditions are not perfect. I know what needs to be done - I am just too bloody blech about the situation to run with it.

It's like there's a call for the brighter, shinier version of me - seems like there always is these days! which is getting harder and harder for me to pick up. Maybe one day I just won't, and see what happens. George Orwell says: You have talked so often on going to the dogs - and well, here are the dogs, and you have reached them, and you can stand it. It takes off alot of anxiety.

I have always been afraid of the dogs.

The Evening News

The Taiwanese are angry.
The Muslim are upset.

Living with others has got to be one of the hardest, longest lessons to be learnt in life. When does providing for oneself cross the line to greed? And what happens if upholding your most sacred beliefs means attacking that of another person’s?

I guess the question is, is it really necessary? Truthfully, to you and not for the perception of anybody else, is it really necessary?

Do the family and friends really need to be rolling in money to be considered comfortable? Was the comment on Prophet Muhamad really necessary to put across that wars in the name of God cannot really be in the name of God?

Humans are hopelessly flawed, no matter who we are. For that reason alone, let’s never kid ourselves that any of us are above the other. Tread slowly and listen hard to voices other than your own. Everyone owes each other that much.
