Wreath of Barbs - II

From the Wreath of Barbs by Wumpscut. One of my favourite songs!

Holy burning hand of wrath
Piercing forever through the heart
And this flaming orbit of shame
Ravages and splits the path


And I bleed and bleed in this wreath of barbs
And I run and run but I dont get far

A pickup line...

My Caribbean girl type friend found this pick-up line I made very amusing:

Step into my Ferrari said the spider to the fly.

I am sure of it now. I am not destined to meet normal girls in this life time!

Selfishness and Relationships

A few weeks ago a friend of mine asked me the following question related to relationships and girls:

Q: Azahar, don't you think you should be selfish in life sometimes?

I replied that no, being selfish is never good. Ideally you should never be selfish.

A relation is not about being selfish. It is about being totally self-less.
A relation is only successful when you put the other person's interests before yours and the other person puts your interests before theirs.

This is difficult to achieve in most relations in this selfish age. Especially in that most sacred a relation enjoyed by a man and a woman united in matrimony under the eyes of God.

A: What is mine will never be taken, what is taken was never mine.

Additional thoughts:
I think it would be even better if we kept mutual interests before personal interests in a relation.

Pain and Dilbert

Such a funny cartoon with a painful twist. Can a normal job be so painful that it kills your spirit?

I love the following line from the cartoon, they are quite beautiful:

Darkness fills my days... I dream of the grave.

What pain can it be that the grave seems the only place where you will find final rest (thus you dream of the grave). What kind of darkness can leave you feeling alone and unloved on a sunny afternoon with flowers blooming around you. The feeling of complete and utter failure.

A Pain-killer

Again and again our attention is drawn to the fact that there is so much pain in the world. What we don't realise is that pain is the only constant. An orphaned child in Africa feels pain as does someone in America who has been cheated by the love of their life.

People have started keeping pain to themselves. That is why psychiatrists are doing so well.
People just don't have the strength or willingness to talk it out. Many people don't even have anyone to listen to them. Everyone has their own problems. Everyone is busy. Why should they lend an ear to someone else's problems?

This is what I think is wrong in today's world. We should always be ready to listen to people no matter how irritated, frustrated or busy we ourselves are.

1. Nothing compares to the feeling of happiness and release you get when you talk to someone about your problem.
2. Nothing compares to the feeling you get when you provide this feeling to someone.
