You walk into a bookshop. And the first thing that catches your eye is a cover that is brilliantly illustrated, with beautiful designs and vibrant colours.But when you open it, and read it's contents, It's nothing but shallow knowledge.Beside it, you see another book, designed with nothing but a blank cover with the title imprinted on it. It is anything but catchy and attractive.But when you pick it up and open it, you feel lost in it's world of imagination. The content was nothing you ever imagined As I think back on my younger years (Not that i'm very old, anyway) and reflect, i know that I tend to judge people based on their covers. I never bother to look into the hearts of people, as well as mine, to tell myself who they really are beneath those layers that cover them.
But now I know...
I know that one should never be judged based on first impression alone. I know now that humans, in general, can be that complicated a species. We never know what they're really hiding underneath those layers of paint that they have painted upon themselves. To know who someone really is, you have to KNOW the person.
I've always judged people based on what I see, what I hear, and more often than not, it's because of what I see on the
SURFACE. It's so superficial. Sometimes, I scare myself.
Wanted to have prata with Jason, Xiao di (Bernard) and Wei Hong after work today. But due to the unforseen circumstance of Jason feeling unwell, we had to call it off. BUT! There is a make up session next saturday!
Been hooked onto a old japanese song lately,
"First Love" by Utada Hikaru. It's been around for a long long time already, yet when i listen to it, i still feel the strength of the song. No doubt i don't understand the words and all but, i just feel the emotion in the song. Probably it's her vocals. Maybe?
After tomorrow, i can finally...
Breathe
Me
I can be quiet
I can be loud
I can be reserved
I can be wild
I hate deception
I hate lies
I hate betrayal
All in all, No matter what happens,
Life still goes on =)
Life is like a puzzle;
Constructed, connected and arranged piece by piece;
Clench the teeth with perseverance;
All the suffering will end eventually;
Song in playing: Nickelback - Far Away
Look at the stars, and not the reflection of the moon.
