I'm hungry I need to eat.
I shall climb the tree and eat the fruit. I must get that fruit. I need it for survival.
I fall.
That was when I realised that there was an apple on the ground all along.
Damn, why didnt I see the apple?

Strange analogy, but it does portray the astigmatism in us-- though how many of us can boast of having foresight? It's almost bizzarre how we get caught up in a particular situation and we focus so much on it, and after a period of time you look back and if you had the choice you would have handled it differently? It's true that for all our actions, we need to acknowledge the circumstances, but how would we know? Yet, these are the mistakes that mould our intellect and character. So... if you take a wrong turn, you might end up crashing, yet you can emerge from the incident a stronger person. Irony.. isnt that what life is all about? We have to focus on the latter, but so many of us remember the former. When we look at the scars, we remember the fresh wounds, and not the healing. So ultimately it all boils down how each individual reacts. To each his own. But for our own sakes, let's just try not to turn our back to the sun.

Do you believe in there's a pot of gold at every end of the rainbow? I do. Because when it seems like a good thing has come to an end, something good still awaits you. Ha.. but again, isnt that just focusing on the good part?
Really. Everything.. yes.. everything.. is ephemeral. ok... I am rambling. again.

Michie.... good luck for your exams! you can do it... *hugs*
