To dare to live alone is the rarest courage; since there are many who had rather meet their bitterest enemy in the field, than their own hearts in their closet.
- Charles Caleb Colton
Today/Yesterday saw Vanilla Sky. It is one of the best movies I have ever seen.
Right next to 12 Monkeys.
"I will tell you in another life, when we are both cats"
Man thats so profound! Who comes up with stuff like that? That person surely has a non-linear thinking process.
Just when life couldnt get worse.. you see a movie like Vanilla Sky and it makes you feel strange.
It is all very very strange.

Ancient Egyptians believed that upon death they would be asked two questions and their answers would determine whether they could continue their journey in the afterlife. The first question was, "Did you bring joy?" The second was, "Did you find joy?"
-Leo Buscaglia
Q1: Did I bring joy? -> Id like to think I did.
Q2: Did I find joy? -> Too bad I cant lie.

Everyone always has two choices.. just two choices.
You might have 10 choices in front of you but they can always be neatly divided into the basic two choices.
The high path or the low path. Facing a problem or running away...
both choices have equal merit. Sometimes the desperation levels are so high that running away is the only logical choice one has.
At other times running away is the last thing on our minds.
What truly decides it for us is the fact that how attachted are we to the answer to the question that has put the choices before us.
Whatever talk we may generate about the choices... in the end it comes down to the two.
There is no escaping it. No hiding from it. The only reason we get confused is because we try and confuse ourselves by inventing more choices than their are. Maybe we dont want to face the hard truth that our options are limited. But this confusion leads to more anguish than accepting the hard truth.
So as the poem from Robert Frost says..
"Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference."
Maybe by facing the two choices we can make a difference.

Everything has a source or a sink.
For example when you are feeling cold and go and sit in front of the fire, the fire is the source of the heat and you are the sink.
When your having a bath, source of water is the shower tap and the sink is the drain.
The same way emotions also have sources and sinks.
Some people spread love and happiness, thus they becomes sources. Some people absorb the happy thoughts and become happy themselves. They are the sinks.
Similarly some people spread pain and sworrow, knowingly or unknowingly, this affects the people around them.
Thus we should be the sinks for pain, we should absorb pain from life so that it doesnt pile up. At the same time we should be sources of happiness so that happiness doesnt decrease.

Condition 31 of the Bristol City Council prohibits strippers from removing their G-strings under certain conditions.
I wonder which lucky guy gets to make rules like these!
I think I'm gonna die today
Everyone who hurt me's gonna pay
How can such a short time feel so long?
How can such a young life go so wrong?
-- 'So long' by Everlast.
What sad yet wonderful lines. They fill me with awe and sadness.
Whenever I feel really really bad, whenever I feel as if my world is collapsing around me. I think of my mom and dad.
Thinking of my dad reminds me that I have to do great things..
Thinking of my mom makes me strong..
Thus one thing gives me motivation and the other the strength to pull myself out of whatever hole I have fallen into.
