World in Anarchy

I have been in a philosophical mood all week long. I have been eating out everysingleday since the end of A levels. I am broke. I am tired. I am not prepared for NS. I am happy. I am sad. I am touched. I am lost. I am alive. Movies, pool, dinners, bicycle, cage@ kallang, going for a talk with johncheo, wedding dinners, internship, lunches, hospital, telephone, bbq. I am busy. Or am I?

Have you ever met someone for only a few days but felt as if you've met the person for your entire life? Have you ever met someone and have conversations so lengthy and so deep and so beautiful and so relaxing, that despite the short duration since your first meeting, you realise that you know more of that person than the people whom you see everysingleday for the past 2, 6, or 12 years?

Our world is in chaos. Mumbai, Somalia, Bangkok. Flip through yesteryear's newsapers. WTC, Paris, London, Aceh, Madrid. Politics, terrorism, anger-inducing rhetoric, cowards who mis-interpret their spiritual texts to support their own bloody vendetta, nationalism, hate, suffering, disease, corruption, natural hazards, mfkers, banks failing, stocks crashing. 'Violence is the first refuge of the incompetent' -Asimov.

We are all living in an ivory tower. Bloody hell you're not gonna realise how big, how complex, how insane this world is till you travel and read. Travel and read.

Yesterday I was thinking about how our society is being engineered so well, so perfectly, so seamlessly, that all Singaporeans view economic assets as their everything. Today I realised that working till you die for the sake of petty cash is not a purpose in my life.
