Pent Up

Yeah yeah. Emo posts, one after another.

I need to get it off my chest. Can't find another outlet, and I'm pretty sure I'm gonna snap if I didn't do something about it.

Too much crap going on at the moment, plus the accumulated shit from before.

I've always been the listening ear, but yet, who's MY listening ear? Everyone I know are either busy, don't care, don't understand or simply doesn't bother.

Yes, I'm always the one who's still standing despite all the setbacks.
Yes, I'm always the pillar of strength that you guys can lean on.

But who's there for me when I need a moment of respite?

It hurts sometimes to know that despite all the people around me, I'm truly alone in the world. Sometimes I wonder how I carry on without something to believe in. Perhaps that's why my brother converted and became a believer after 34 years of atheism. Simply because the path is just too much to bear.

The human mind is simply too fragile.






23 years and counting. I'm still searching for you. Where are you? I need you..

Rubbish Bin

The Rubbish Bin. That's what I am.
I am here to keep the trash.
All day-in and all night-long.
All I do is eat the trash.

Slowly as the days goes by,
The dirt builds up, the stink starts up.
Bits and pieces of trash and filth.
People starts avoiding me.

I stink, they say.
I smell, they say.
You're yucky and filthy,
That's what they say.

Flies love me. Rats love me.
Roaches are my family.
Deep at night, as they feast.
I wonder why am I despised.

Was my purpose not noble?
Was my existence wrong to start?
Was I so much unwanted?
Was I so much unneeded?

I wonder then, I wonder now.
Why was it that I got filthy?
Was it not you who used me then?
If that's so, why the angst?

When you were the ones who made me so?

Need

I need warmth.

Human warmth.

My girlfriend has asked me on several occasions when we quarreled: "Why do you need a girlfriend when you're so capable of everything? Why do you still need me if you don't want me to help you?"

Yes certainly, I am capable of doing everything in life by myself.

Except childbirth and sex. Hence the girlfriend.

As shallow as that may sound, that is the truth.
A man needs a woman for her childbearing properties. And sex.
A woman needs a man for protection.

Yet these fundamental needs have been forgotten by society. This very thing we call "civilization". Men and women are denied their very basic needs because of these things we call "equality" and "justice", based on the majority's judgement of "this is right, therefore it is so".

I call it the Vanity of People's Refusal to Accept Jealousy and Envy.

For all our beloved "Justice" is worth, it is based on nothing more than the decisions of the many. Sometimes not even so, especially in this day and age, where decisions are made by the powerful and the rich.

--------------------------------------------------

Here's an example:

A boy and a girl gets together and falls in love. They're blissfully in love for 4 years, and though neither one of them are believers in God, their principles and beliefs practically "obeys the Bible". Although the couple were happy together, they were not satisfied. Reason being simple enough: the boy was denied his needs and the girl had issues due to the boy's dissatisfaction.

As much as the boy respects his girlfriend's decision of waiting for the formality of marriage, his basic, physical needs are not fulfilled, hence the dissatisfaction.

Now looking for this example, what's wrong with it? The boy's willing to wait, doesn't his willingness proves his commitment enough for society and the law to respect him? Nope. Not happening.

Now let's look at another couple: they've been together for 5 years... and half of it wasn't blissfully in love. Despite the fact that the girl loved the boy enough to give in to his needs, believing that he will honor her by exchanging his satisfaction for hers.

It didn't happen.

The boy broke the girl's heart by leaving the relationship for another girl. Failing that, he came back and asked for forgiveness and wanted to be back in the relationship. Silly as the girl was, she accepted. For he was her first. Thereafter, their relationship became strained. The girl was uncomfortable and didn't want the relationship anymore. Why would she, when her needs of protection is not obtainable?

Yet, she stays. Because she has already given up something that this "society" values, due to the written laws of a "holy book". Days goes by, and her heart and soul gets eaten away, little by little.

What of the law? What of "society's fairness"? The boy in the first relation and the girl in the second didn't get any fairness. They both gave in order to fulfill the needs of their chosen one, but got nothing in return.

--------------------------------------------------

Now, the boy and the girl with unfulfilled needs happened to be distant friends who stayed distant for the sake of their chosen ones. Why did they have to stay distant? Reason being: Jealousy and Envy. For both their partners are selfish and refuse to allow their other halves to have a potential contact with people who may be able to satisfy them, taking them away.

Chemistry sparked between the two. Simply because they realized the other was more then willing to sacrifice oneself to make the other happy. Kindred spirits, if you may. Both parties refuse to leave their other simply because they do not wish to see hurt inflicted on them. But it was clear that they wanted each other, but yet could not.

Because again, "society" stands in the way.

What do you call a person who, despite being in a relationship, loves another?
3rd party? Slut? 2-timer? Asshole?

Yet however, can this "immoral couple" be blamed for their choices?

--------------------------------------------------

Day after day. I grow more and more weary of this world and its useless and senseless obsession with things that makes life difficult. Isn't life bad enough as it is? The fact we're all born crying when we enter this world is proof enough that this world is shit, isn't it?

Why the hell do we then make it even more difficult for ourselves?

The answer? For the sake of the powerful, the rich, and the ones who wish to be deemed as "pure".

It is my wish that people would wake up and see that the world isn't as structured as they deem it to be. Escape the system. Too many are lost, manipulated to work at the beck and call of society.

Failing that, here's cheering on for The End of The World on 2012!

Wake up. Before its too late.

Looking back

The old posts are extremely childish! OMGWTFBBQ?!

LOLZ!

There's quite a bit of entertainment value in reading them though. =D

Dusting Off

Oh yeah~

It's 4.15 AM in the morning.

soulbalance.blogspot is back in business! Its been nearly 4 years since my last entry in this little place on the World Wide Web. Approximately 3 years and 9 months, to be exact.

It's amazing how much a person can change in 4 years. The difference in perspective is so great that, it felt like a different me wrote in this blog back then.

Wow.

---------------------------------------------

Let's see now. December 2006 to Present Day.. what has happened thus far?

1) Graduation from Ngee Ann Polytechnic in April 2007 (I think? fail-memory for the lose)

2) Enslaved for 1 year 10 months starting from July 2007 till May 2009.

3) Enrolled into Nanyang Technological University in July 2009.

4) Waiting for Graduation (or End of the World~!) sometime in 2012.


Looking at the list, I guess the highlight for the 4 years was the time taken away from me during my enslavement period. Stories to tell though. Look forward to it. =)

I'll probably come back here pretty often. Been looking for an outlet for my thoughts, and Facebook is just simply too public (and shallow) a venue for that.
