| Taking the rest of my life off... | |
| Following on from my incredible holiday in Rarotonga, I have been contemplating "normal life" - which for me involves a 50 hour week at work, commuting between two cities on a weekly basis and various minor excitements, stresses and joys. And the familiar rhetoric occurred to me - "A holiday is made more enjoyable because you have to work". And clo...

| Welcome to Paradise | |
| Just wanted to blog about my recent holiday to Rarotonga in the Cook Islands - the closest place to paradise I've ever visited. I have to admit I didn't do much while there... I didn't go exploring the township, I didn't meet the locals, I didn't attend a traditional church service and I didn't peruse the Saturday markets. What I did do was spend a...

| The Agony and The Honesty | |
| I have been thinking lately about honesty with yourself. I might have blogged on this subject previously, but it is one that is dear to my heart. My hypothesis is basically that we are unable to progress, unable to grow, unable to advance, as human beings, unless we rigorously develop HONESTY. Now, I don't mean "honesty is the best policy" or any s...

| Happy Valentines Day :) | |
| Happy Valentine's Day!!!14th February - a day of chocolates and roses, romantic dinners and cutesy cards. I've been thinking about what Valentines Day means (and god, I don't mean in the existential sense) in terms of materialism, commercialism, expectation and sincerity. Traditional View (Soppy Style) - V-Day is about lurrrrve, about expressing ho...

| Obligation and Stamps: A Fable | |
| Where does the mire of obligation and duty rise from? How do families get bound by ritual and pretences and appearances, instead of warmth or sincerity? Here's one theory - and it applies in all social/interpersonal realms, not just the family. It's probably nothing new, but I've been thinking about it just recently.First, some 'foundational princi...

| To Give and Receive | |
| Being loved is easy - it warms us, makes us secure and comforted. It is easy to receive, even with the slight burden of expected reciprocation it carries. Being loved affirms and reinforces our sense of self worth, it cossets and buffers us from the harshness of self doubt. And you may absorb the fulness of love from many while remaining relatively...

Poor guy, he wasn't quite ready for the speech I launched into! :) But I do have a pretty strong opinion on the topic - and since I shared it with one individual, I thought I'd share it with all.We as human beings love to own things, to possess them.

| A lecturer, when explaining stress management to an audience, raised a glass of water and asked, "How heavy is this glass of water?" Answers called out ranged from 20g to 500g. The lecturer replied, "The absolute weight doesn't matter. It depends on how long you try to hold it.""If I hold it for a minute, that's not a problem. If I hold it for an h...

| It was a typical romantic setting that happens only once in a blue moon in every couple’s life.
