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; #...

Personal Perspective on CHC Fiasco

My personal perspective on the City Harvest Church fiasco: #1. God is omnipresent (present everywhere), omnipotent (all powerful), omniscient (all knowing) and God knew about this episode. I believe God is watching.; #2. The CAD does not charge without concrete evidence (they have taken sufficient time to investigate - 2 years). May justice prevail.; #3. It is unavoidable for members of the public with little information about Christianity to judge.  It is also one of my weaknesses to be quick to judge/form negative impression about others, which is unhealthy.; #4. I believe to a certain extent, the message of giving and tithing is relatively strong in City Harvest Church - I may be wrong.  (fyi, I have visited the church a couple of times) My personal belief is that it is important to give to God because God is the creator of everything that exists. He owns everything and we are simply stewards of what we have been entrusted with.  Though I h...

Outlier

It is always amazing meeting outliers. One who respectfully defies what ageing means in recent decades.  It is awesome to encounter a senior (almost twice my age) who is fitter than me. So inspiring! She embodies the example of good stewardship and living well in the last trimester of life 🧓🏻💛
