Friends..
Hi all, my first attempt to create a blog. Recently some issues in our class inspired me, after a period of sadness, to write a long essay to attempt to help a friend. As such, ive poured most of my emotions into them, and they are the basic ways i lead my life, which i wish to share with everyone on my blog. I hope this can make a difference, and ive compiled all the entries ive made in here. It might be abit long though, but its worth to re-read in the future.
Hi guys, hope i can do some peace around here. no one is born perfect, everyone has his/her bad points, thus i think we should all learn to adapt with each other in order to live on in peace, harmony, and happy social cohesion in a social community. Be happy always! Let things that irritate u burn just for that moment then forget about it ba, forgive and forget! its a virtue! To err is human, to forgive is divine. By spreading/radiating happiness ard you, not only will u feel better, others will too. Also by forgiving the guy, it puts you above the rest.
Sometimes it aint nice to be criticised or put down by others, thus i think we shd be more feeling and understanding of things, and put ourselves in others' shoes and feel for what they might feel. Hmm, as friends we should be there for one another and work together, not be picky :) at least thats how i live my life, i accept ppl for what they are; if there are bad points, i live with it and dont make a fuss, and sometimes, ppl arent what they seem in a group. Spend time with him/her in private and u might find a side u never knew, as ive experienced. Some ppl who are quiet in class might talk alot in private too :)
Kindness originates from the heart, and we should all learn to be nice to everyone, be it nice, bad, ugly, goodlooking, or wad not, and make him/her feel wanted, feel that he/she belongs to something he/she can trust, make him/her feel he can contribute and feel happy as we all shall be, forever, in our lives as we meet new and different ppl. As a class, we are united and rock/kick ass!! But, ppl shdnt be left behind; everyone is a friend, even those that u dont know or are just acquaintances, we should all radiate warmth and happiness towards them and put a returning smile on their lips as well; and friends stand by you through troubles, and we should cherish that, and look over those bad points. Bad points seen in positive light could be uniqueness, and if we all remain positive, happy, and light hearted, things would be so much better! in chinese, yuan4 yuan4 xiang1 bao4 he2 shi2 liao3(paiseh i never take CLAO) why bury hatred/agitation in a class, where unity and harmony should be present? Forgive and forget guys! :) I really hope everyone can be happy and peaceful, both inside and out, only this way can we improve even further at our already rock-on present state, with EVERYONE happy and joyous in unity!! :) jia you 34/04, i love ya guys!!! ;)
To add in some things that i forgot, sensitvity, and the whole issue about 'cold war politics'. I feel that sensistivity is the key to maintaining friendships, and relations which, in this case isnt that applicable. Sensitivity in emotions, moods, can really help in fostering good friends as u noe how and when to react to diff mood swings or facial expressions of the person, and try best not to hurt him/her. for me, i think of what i say b4 i say it, and try not to offend anyone.
About the Cold war politics, i think that if we be friendly and accept everyone for what they are, and be open-hearted, open-minded, and constantly preach the priceless value of 'forgive and forget', or 'be happy always'(my motto), then mutual agression would not have occured. Its just a spark of events occuring, all interlinked. First agitation over minor issues blooms into hatred, then hatred has a negative impact on the accused, thus he would naturally lapse into defence mode and retaliate at the least aggression. U dont normally see friends retaliating do you? even the most loud-mouthed/crude person would treasure friendship and be nice. I hope we can all try to see both sides of the situations. Yes some may say that a person keeps repeating his mistakes and doesnt change, but if we keep on adopting such an attitude toward that person, he'll NEVER change, not trying to say that he wont change la, and in a way, we are not changing too...ironic huh. and if we keep criticising/putting him down, it wouldnt reflect well on ourselves too :) well, it takes both hands to clap, and we should juz cool down and forgive and forget yea... it isnt good to bear grudges or wad not, esp in the working world next time. I hope we can all learn something from this, and learn to let it go.
Friends are hard to come by, and we miss old friends, as new ones come. For me, i try to make my friends happy and compromise/stand up for them, and i really cherish what we have gone through together, thus me writing this essay tonight, at 12.37am. Some friends talk more than others do, some friends understand each other personally more than others do, but we are still friends. For those who understand each other more, it is their duty to shine light on misconception, thus i hope u all can understand :( I feel abit sad when i see some ppl putting him down...its not that im siding with him or anything, i usually sit back and observe in class, and this is unbiased judgement. i mean, if u put urself in his shoes, u would probably lapse into a greater rage. To forgive puts u above the rest, and makes u a whole lot better. It doesnt matter if the person does not change, but if u forgive him, it will be anyhow better than the current state of aggression. But people have feelings, if lets say the whole class suddenly accepts a person, he/she will be real touched and realy change. We should appreciate people for what they are.
I dont think anyone wants to be mean in this world, perhaps its just their character(might want to check out on horoscopes to effectively handle this), and they cant control it. I dont know how i might sound to other ppl reading this, but i sincerely mean what i say and am just trying to help a friend, who belongs to our class, who has gone thru more than half a year with us. Any enemy, cohabiting with you, for that period of time, would have become a friend. And friends are what makes the world go round! without friends, the whole purpose of life and interaction goes down the drain. The world would be a place of dark solitude. Thus why impose, or rather, indirectly impose such a world for certain ppl when we can juz open up our minds and hearts, show a little more care and concern for friends, show sensitivity, radiate love and justice, and everything will go smoothly! rock on 34/04!
Each of everyone's actions or words can have the slightest impact on any person, be it good or bad, we never will noe. If he voices it out, it could be for the better, or it could take an offending stance. But if he keeps it in, it will only accumulate, and accumulation till such a point where LDMR sets in, and it will burst out in a fit of rage or something. I mean, why not let our every little action brighten the lives of people around us. Its a good thing to do. We shd stop harping over who's character is wrong, whether the virtual world has to be restricted or not. Everyone has flaws, even people typing comments too, im sure uve been in such a situation b4, how have u felt? the same, depressed, rejected way? the feeling of rejection is cold and bitter, it can really make your day worse... i get very sad too when i see friends getting together to put down someone?! hey hey, we should cherish friendship, and not cherish the putting down of friendship. Not saying that anyone is not being a good friend or wad, guys and girls in 34/04 rock. But sometimes we juz gotta learn to live and let live, learn to let go that lump in our hearts. A minor event can easily be forgotten, or kept for memory's sake, but shd never be accumulated. This will breed a hatred in us that we've never seen b4, and we will be quite shocked when informed by bystanders; changnig into someone we're not, from the original kind-hearted person that we are. This is wad's happening to people who get outcasted... i can cry for their feelings... no one is there for them to lean on... when they fall, they fall hard... id much rather bear the bad points (if there REALLY is any), and let them fall on a friend, and encourage them.
About blogs, i agree that it is a place dedicated to yourself, you can write anything u want on it, personal feelings, dislikes, anything. It is open to viewer discretion, i mean, if a person is truthful about himself and his thoughts, it should be ADMIRED, not hated, even if what he says might not be a little pleasant, but he has freedom of thought and speech. Freedom, a very important aspect of friendship as well; friends should not be possessive or try to RESTRAIN themselves just because of minor issues. Friends appreciate each other for their unique self, and that's wad each and everyone of us cherish in a friend. When u read a negative comment on a blog, it might just sting awhile, but its no cause for hatred! we shd all look at the general situation, and not juz keep concentrating on the bad points, as such, we will never see the depth or truth. I hope im not talking like i know the whole situation, i dont, but i do noe a friend here is in need, of company, of the love that everyone else has in them, to brighten his day, make school a more attractive place to live in. Ever wondered why i never skipped sch? though it can be very sian, but, there are friends there to brighten ur day, to share ur troubles and go thru the day with you. yea.. we can give advice or tell a person what's wrong with his character, in a nice way, which is what we've been doing, but try not to bear any hatred in the process.
Yes some ppl dont like to be told what to do, or their pride stands in the way, but, thats how people are made right? no one is perfect. A useful quote: 'when you see that the world has turned its back on you, look again, maybe u turned ur back on the world' This can be applied to both parties, thought provoking :) well, soemtimes the world does revolve around a person, but in this case, some of us made the world revolve around that he/she, such that he lives his life in solitude now, feeling depressed, that he cant fit in. We should never think that 'oh if you dont like it then transfer'. Then how about ourselves who are enjoying our time in the class? i feel that everyone should have a share in the joy and friendship bond. A person has the right to do what he/she deems right, as yes no doubt this might irritate some, but juz be a little light hearted and open-minded on stuff, and it'll blow over easily and friendship can still prevail. We should not keep on thinking negative, if so anyone can keep finding faults in a person. Yes u may rebut that if we keep thinking positive, the guy will seem perfect too, but, why think negative when life can be so much happier and more cheerful when u think happy?! Think of it as a long distance race, with a friend by your side, providing encouragement, we can complete the race together, never running alone, always being motivated, so lets not let our friends in class, or be it any type of friend, anywhere, run/walk alone. I hope what ive said/done can help patch up or move some ppl into seeing both sides, and cherish friends that we have. Its already at the end of the year... some of us may not make it.. thats why at this last moment, we should CHERISH FRIENDS ALL THE MORE! give them the respect they deserve and in turn you'll feel better when they smile back. Lets not lose this friendship... *cries* ill... see u all... hopefully... next year... :(jia you 34/04, love ya forever
