Triviality

It’s a very subjective matter.

Red or blue? Big or small? Do or not? Simple questions. Trivial? Maybe so, maybe not. For some, making ends meet is their life-long goal. For some, going up to space is a mere milestone in their life. Who is to question the importance (or triviality) of such a choice of actions?

These actions will inevitably lead to something. Anything. Are you making a difference through it? You probably can and probably are. But how much, really? Is it a negligible amount? Probably. Not necessarily. But it is not for you to decide. You do not need to decide. You might not even want to know the answer.

Because truth often hurts.

Seeing

“Seeing is Believing”

So they say. It’s very true, I believe. Seeing with your very own eyes is as a matter of fact, very convincing, whatever it pertains. The very nature of a magician’s crafty art is convincing one by sight, in a way that you only see what he wants you to see. Thus, it’s easy to believe in magic, but seeing what you saw does not bring you remotely close to understanding it.

Nobody ever said Seeing is Understanding.

It struck me that seeing something does not always, if at all, helps with understanding. Many a times, what we do not see matters more than how much we think it does. Just like how a magician’s trick are the moves he pulls which are hidden from view.

It is easy to believe in something you see. Understanding it, is another matter.
The real challenge is - what do you not see?

Sometimes

Sometimes
I want to do nothing
But to stare into nothingness
With a light flickering
In the background
Blurred by the lack of Focus
In my eyes, In my ears
Of sight and sound
In my mind, In my grip
Of life and love

Sometimes
I want to do nothing
But to lie down
To shed the weight
Off my shoulders
And stare at the eyes
Of Comfort
Realising how much I miss
Having my feet
Off the ground

Sometimes
I want to do nothing
But to just listen
To the voices
In the background
In my head
And have a dream
Where I am not afraid
Of myself

Sometimes
I want to do nothing
But to just close my eyes
Nod in submission
And sigh

Somewhere Over The Rainbow

This is a lovely song. A medley of two timeless oldies - Somewhere Over The Rainbow and What A Wonderful World by Israel Kamakawiwo’ole, a Hawaiian musician.

I like the two original songs, but I have to say, I like this one better.

I’m retiring the previous poll of which continent you’d like to go. It’s been a while, but more importantly, it’s because there’s a need for a new one.

Yes, I know it’s ridiculous. But I need to know this. Zhongy insists that people would prefer fried cockroaches over iguanas, but I think otherwise. So tell me, which would you prefer?
