Words of the wandering mind

And so, he boarded the bus, oblivious to the chattering of his new friends. They were but a passerby in his life. It would not be long before these new acquaintances of his moved out of his life. No one has stayed an important person in his life save a few. And those few stayed on because of troublesome matters. Matters that he had no idea how to deal with. So, he stored them within him, procrastinating, waiting for a suitable time when the answer to these matters were clear.

Holidays are ending soon. My bank account is going to be topped up soon too. Concerts are drawing close too. Time for practice is running low. My health is not really in the best conditions. So is my mental self. My resolutions risk being jeopardised by my hectic schedules.

So much for a break from studies. Time moves on regardless of whether you are taking a break or studying. Other events still happen even though it is a supposed rest period. Time might have stopped for one aspect of life, but everything else moves on as usual. There is never a rest period. Never a break, nor will there ever be a time when everything stops.

An accursed place to be in, this society is. A place where even the slightest bit of personal opinion has to be carefully masked within words. A society where unhealthy competition is but a commonality. A society where grace is something that has been long forgotten. A society where knifes are thrown at the backs of others.

It is as though the gods, uncaring and unfeeling, has given up on Man, leaving them to do as they wish, even to the extent of brutal, cold blooded murder.

Enough randomness for today.
