I believe that it is norma lto have <em>mildly </em>suicidal thoughts on occasion. I dont believe i would ever have the stomach to kill myself. Not just becuaese of the fear but also for religious reasons. Thou shalt not kill.<br /><br />How desperate do yo have to be that your trouble overwhelm you to a point whereby you'd rather erase yourself from the earth and cause so much grief to your family just to escape. Maybe they kill themselves to make a point. Blind infatuation and love can do that i guess. But love needs to be reciprocated before it can reach such a height. In one form or the other. Someone blogged about it(ithink). Something about going to hell.<br /><br /><strong>"There is no cure for birth and death save to enjoy the interval." --George Santayana</strong><br /><br />Suppose so. You can never un-birth yourself. No matter what youve probably made some impact on the people around you if you were born. Especially in a society like Singapores. Sometimes troubles and problems become bigger than our own lives. Or rather, bigger than the capacity that is allowed to them by our individual minds. How tragic human life is. It is like a candle that can be snuffed out byt the gentlest of winds.<br /><br /><strong>Life is a search for the truth; and there is no truth.</strong><br /><strong></strong><br />"I tell you, we are here on Earth to fart around, and don't let anybody tell you any different."--Kurt Vonnegut<br /><br />Haha, thats a nice way of looking at mortality.<br /><br />Were we put here to serve a purpose? --- Only if you want to.<br /><br />You gotta be the change that u wanna see as Gandhi once said. If you want to see a change, you have to BE the change as echoed in Bruce Almighty. I really respect Gandhi in that he encompassed alot of things that i strive to encompass as well. A man worthy of repect. I wonder where he will end up....<br /><br />He was a self proclaimed Hindu, Buddhist, Christian and a Jew.<br /><br />Hmm.<br /><br />You know what, Elvis Presley, a hero of mine has a similar view to mine on life. He like me, enjoyed making loved ones happy. He valued other peoples happiness over his own<br /><br /><strong>"I've had a pretty good lesson in human nature. It's more important to try to surround yourself with people who can give you a little happiness, because you only pass through this life once, Jack. You don't come back for an encore."--Elvis Presley</strong><br /><br /><strong>Im not gonna come back for an encore. I better do what I have to do cos I never wanna be 73 and be regretting something. Thats something my dad taught me. Its better to fall flat on your face with a few broken bones rather than to have never jumped for that chance for all that you ever wanted.</strong><br /><strong></strong><br /><strong>Thanks dad.</strong><br /><strong></strong><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9360171-114173850984608894?l=petevandal.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Pete Vandalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15287158819549531231noreply@blogger.com4
