Preoccupation

Life is sometimes mutually antagonistic. One opposes the other. One repels the other. But quite interestingly, human behaviour do exhibit yearns for the exact opposite. For example, when you are too bored, u hope to keep yourself occupied by anything in front of you. When you are lonely, you wish someone had asked about you or called u out. Or maybe u might take the initiative. This emotional tendency is almost like a reflex action.

Actually, a myriad of emotional patterns are often involuntarily. Ups and downs, and sometimes even sideway swing of emotions. Alright, i dont want to sound so complex here, not a psychologist or some analyst. The issue here is whether we are able to recompose ourselves suitably, and regain our rational thinking. Sometimes more than that is needed. Its hard to realign our thinking sometimes when we have taken a hard hit. So more often, courage is essential. The courage to shift our mindsets, gain a different context and to stem the flow of negative vibes. Preoccupation is a powerful word. It is in fact pivotal in everyone's life. Whatever we think lays the foundation for our future actions and imaginations. Its just like colour painting. U have the palette in front of u, with the various colours there. These colours are the ingredients for our painting, just like the ingredients for our thoughts. Humans relate experiences and past actions. We relate to familiarity, and tread cautiously on uncertainty, thats why we are reluctant to change. We simply dare not to step out. We are afraid to make the first move even though we might recognise that it might be for our own good.

For this i dare not prescribe any remedy, but hope such instances can be minimised. We all need this bit of courage in these "unique" times. Which are sometimes provided by close friends or kin. No man is an island, no man stands alone is probably an apt description.

Well things on my side are getting better. It was a rather eventful week with things planned. ORD's kinda near, but now it means no more than a date. A date where many anticipate so dearly to come by, but yet when it approaches, the significance and hype around it slowly fades into the distance. The irony of it all, as what i described earlier. Leave no regrets for what u do, Seize the moment to live the way u want. When life fails u, do not fail life. The broader meaning in life is not to always win the battle, but the war.

Engage in a healthy preoccupation, of our minds :) And for this, stay happy my friend !
