2 Sides to a Coin



There is always two sides to a coin,
unless both sides are the same, you'll have officially zero options.
In order for one to comment on something wholeheartedly,
he/she has to have a good understanding of the issue at hand.
I shall not say that a person needs a thorough grip of
any given situation because there's always a degree of grey area in between.

Just take relationships for instance,
a girl may feel connected to a guy through the following possibilities:-
1. First impression,
2. Topics of interest,
3. Similar lifestyle habits,
4. Similar / Extreme differences in family background or culture,
5. Similarities in core values and principles of life,
6. Et cetera(s) (Guy carries a handkerchief - reminds the girl of her Dad)

List above is non-exhaustive.
In point #4, I have typed "Similar / Extreme differences",
let me make a disclaimer here that this is one of the initial traits
that I observed that some of my friends and myself are able to accept
as negotiables.
Either an individual embraces the differences or he/she
falls in the category which reads "Similar".
I believe that no matter how close
physically, mentally, emotionally, and even spiritually,
it is almost impossible to have no hidden aspects between
a person and another.
This is why there is the quotation that says,
"Change is the only constant."
A couple may find it hard to understand
each other over a period of time.
Some people may find it laborious to understand
who they truly are because, not only the internal voices
are speaking to their souls, the external voices
are subconsciously entering their bodies and souls
without their acknowledgement and hence, realisation.

In summary,
though I am a believer of "Right & Wrong" and "Black & White"
there is always some space in between for us to accept a neutral perspective.
(That's when the coin falls onto the ground and
starts rolling about for a while)
This grey region, though misty or cloudy,
allows us as information-absorbing creatures to receive
more raw data and input accordingly.

As for matters of the heart,
I have to say that
we got to hold on to each other in love and faith (when all else fails).

Acquaintances with Benefits

When I was young (in upper primary), my birthday wishes were similar.  It was to have many friends.  That could be due to the fact that I am an only child and may feel lonely at times.  Thanks to my best friends (you know who you are), I seldom feel lonely.  I can easily identify who my best friends are.  They are people I would ask for opinions on important decisions I have to make, meet relatively regularly (at least bimonthly, quarterly) for chit-chat and my life would have been very different without them. According to Robin Dunbar , in order to maintain stable social relationships where an individual knows who each person is, and how each person relates to every other person.  Friends are essentially different from acquaintances.  Acquaintances are typically: #1. People whom you may have only met a few times at an event/function; #2. Classmates/schoolmates/coursemates you have encountered casually; #...

Grandfather Lee: YOUR vision, not mine!

Mr Lee (Kuan Yew) is a well-respected figure in my family.  I shall take a picture of the biographies my parents have religiously bought some other day (maybe I should contribute by purchasing Hard Truths just to complete the collection).  Anyone who studied Singapore history would respect him in some way or another.  However, lately grandfather Lee seemed to be revealing his true self and not bothering much about how the current generation thinks about our society. Here is an article from New Nation, an online magazine I read. Former MM Lee Kuan Yew: The Singapore vision is your vision, not my vision. Pam Petite
I believe that a person's life experiences will largely influence how they behave & react in any given situation. I believe that I have become more optimistic nowadays. Thanks to: 1) God, 2) boyfriend & close / good friends, 3) inspirational & motivational books, These 3 things really played a huge role lately; especially this year. Personally, I am into the idea that one should eliminate anything that brings you down. I know that "eliminate" seems like a BIG word, what I'm trying to put across is, don't let anything come between you and your dreams. To being wealthy is genuinely 1 of my desire. It is the thought of being affluent & rich someday soon that keeps me going forward. In my opinion, becoming rich doesn't have to cost you anything. Meaning, you don't have to sacrifice your very precious time with your family members; neglecting what's emotionally of higher importance. I'm a believer that there's a way to strike a balan...
