I overheard a conversation going on between 2 boys on the train this morning.
"...Strong words, coming from a weak person like you."
I wonder. Who defines strength, and weakness? One person's strength, might be his weakness as well. Being too trusting, for example.
There was this time during secondary school, that I was appointed class chairman, not by my own will. Back then I was the Loser Kid, the nobody in class, being the prime target of ridicule and mockery, so it came as a shock that I was given such a position in the class commitee. I thought, that finally, people saw me as their equal, to have voted for me, but there was only more ridicule in store for me. I remember vividly that there was once when I sought help from someone whom I thought was a friend, and ended up being called 'incompetent' by him in the face. That was a really big blow to my self esteem, seeing that such a strong word came from such a weak person. Heck, he was probably 50 times more incompetent than me, and there I was, bearing the brunt of his insults, just because I needed his help. I never could take it lying down, even till now. I guess, pride is man's greatest sin, after all. Lol.
I wonder why, people never really stop to think, before they start spewing rubbish from their mouths. It makes them sound, really dumb. It's like, they WANT to misunderstand. They choose to misunderstand. Sad. In a way, I like to be misunderstood. It tells me, how stupid, arrogant, and inconsiderate, people can really be. Oh well. Your lives, your mistakes, your problems. As long as you don't interfere with my life, whatever floats your boat. I can't really care, it's not in my place to pass judgement, to tell people what to do, what to think. Besides, I've enough on my platter for now.
I hate liars. I hate lying. I hate lying through my teeth. I hate it, but I can be so damn good at it. What an irony.
Went to Suntec this afternoon, and decided to get a cone of ice cream from B&J's. Surprise, surprise. My server turned out to be a primary school friend. :D
It's almost been a month... Lol.
Thy Sins be Cleansed.
