The Great Revival

After a one and a half year hiatus, I've decided to once again revive this blog. Why the sudden interest after the comfortable hibernation, you may ask. Well, first of all, I guess my creative juices are starting to overflow and therefore I should and would and must do something about it. Secondly, I would want to look back and reflect on my life when I reach a certain number of years in the future. Not enough reasons? Well, whatever. I see no need to provide any justification for my decisions at the moment. Read on.

Life has so far been kind (questionable??!) to me. I've survived one and a half years of mindless national service, and the urge to break free has never been stronger than at this moment in time, with National Day approaching and what not. Sad to say, I'm not exactly your model patriotic citizen, so perhaps there might be some deviation here. Anyway, I've been through loads of crappy stuff and met many superficial, frivolous, morally unethical people (also known as empty vessels, a name I thought up today after some unfortunate incident that happened between me and some brainless fellow in my camp, which I decline to elaborate until a much later time, if I have the mood) and most importantly learnt and mastered to perfection the art of absolute oblivion.

What is that, you ask. Well, imagine if some idiotic empty vessel keeps passing lame-ass remarks about your attitude, behaviour, blah blah blah, what would you do as a sane, humane person? Fight back? Retaliate with verbal insults? Or literally and physically fight back with barbaric vigour? Nah. The ultimate winner is to simply ignore. I mean, look at it this way. Why should you bother with people like that? Don't you have better things to do? Does the comment affect you in any way? Sure, you might start accumulating an emotional baggage, but as time goes by, you'll definitely realize that it's not worth the storing up. And soon, there'll be some breakdown. And the cause? Some empty vessel making loads of noise. Worth it? Absolutely negative. That's why I've realised that to ignore is the best solution. They can just keep on hollering, but I won't care. I've got a future. They might not. Why should I ruin it because of some worthless people? There's just too much to lose if I lose control.

I hope that this entry looks promising enough to be a debut. You may notice that I did not really include much detail here. It's rather generalised. Perhaps I'll elaborate more when the mood strikes. At this moment, there're other things on my mind which I would like to carry out. So savour this till the next entry.

Out.
