The Percentage

"I know 20% about you and that, is a lot," sitting at one corner in the Indian stall, he said. "You may know 100% regarding yourself, a very, very close friend of yours might be 75% and your family would be 50%," he continued. Statement above can be true, after some changes on the percentage given that is. We at times, do not know ourselves very well compared to how much the others know about us, because they see what we don't see, and we see what they can't see. There's a difference, you see. We might not be able to see how we handle problems, how we react, how we socialise and how we speak, as they somehow reflect our personalities and behaviours whereas the people around us definitely cannot see all the thoughts we have in our mind, does not matter whether it is something great or sinister. We are the only one who holds the access key to our mind, our memory, though it might be modified after a period of time. We have been through life, at least part of our life and in many ways, we seem to be the only person who understand our history the best, because like what an article has mentioned, we always stay by our side, from birth to death, strangers to friends, depression to happiness, closer to closest. Yes, we may not understand ourselves fully, but we are still the owners of our life and so, we have the responsibility to know ourselves better, to seek, to track, to learn regarding ourselves because if we don't, who else would?

Expression in Time

Few familiar sentences, "I don't have time for this", "I don't seem to have enough time to complete the task given", "How I wish I can have your time" and et cetera. Is that so? Some of us may have came across an article, mentioning how precious the time is, by years, months, days, hours, minutes and seconds. Inspiring it was, and still is. A combination of what many might have been through in one, to switch on our mind's eye, to see things we may only see with our mind. The fact is, we do have time, plenty of them, and it is the matter of how we look at it, really. We may have one day to our mid year, 1 hour before sun rises and 1 minute left to look at the papers, still, aren't they all counted as time? Sub-categories of time for the very least perhaps? To certain people, the phrase "I do not have enough time for myself" has been so common, to the level where they no longer remember, it is just an expression. An expression to urge a person works harder, an expression to remind one regarding the deadlines given, an expression where one able to release the stress. So, anyone interested?

Slower Pace

As the world moving forward, people too working in a quicker pace, thus forgetting how to slow down. We've learned how to speed, does not matter whether we are on the road, or we are sitting at one corner in the office. Chinese says, "slow works produce fine art," however, this is no longer the trend, for we are now requested to be fast and efficient, to produce a very, very fine art in a much, much quicker pace. After years walking in and out from the house, this is the very first time where a lesson on being slow is taught. Stepping on the pedals, controlling a bike sure is hard, to a certain people that is, even if it is only a distance of two parking slots, due to the reason where we must be as slow as possible, which differs from the usual speed we would take on. So, why don't we stop for a second and look up into the sky? Where we are able to find the art of Nature, the inspires of life.

Life Changes

"Sometimes I wish everything will stay the same, however, there are times where I hope the changes will be made in a quicker pace," one said. Funny feeling, isn't it? Though they may be conflictive, this is what certain people have been through. As we all know, some of us are afraid of unknown, not knowing what it might causes and the consequences which may occur, thus hoping them will remain the same forever. Still, there is also another part in us where we want something better, when we achieve a certain level. We want to reach the expectation of others better, we want to do them good, we want to improve ourselves, we want, we want. One thing for sure, what needs to be changed, will be changed when the time has come, something we might not see it coming, and something, that might bring changes to our life. Like one said, "I personally think that life is the most important thing in life, because changes can be made, as long as we are alive."

Disconnection

A friend said, "Not many visit our blog because they don't understand what we have written." True enough, people don't seem to be interested when they fail to cope with the 'information' given, or when they do not have the passion for that particular subject. However, there are other sub categories under the 'connection' part, where people could not link to what they have been told, depending on the factor whether they willing to work hard in understanding it. And of course, there are other reasons that might eventually discourage a person from pursuing his original goal, thus losing the interest and soon, out of the track. This is not something we may be proud of, or should be ashamed of, because when it happens, it is meant to be, to test our patience, our will-power and to test our courage to hold on tight, even though there are obstacles ahead.

Random Probabilities

One said, random could be well governed by the probability of an occurrence, where the 'probability' is defined as the number of success over the total number of experiments. Couldn't help but to wonder why it is put in such a way. If a student has 10 over 15 of chances to fail his paper, does it still defined as the number of success over the total? The answer is, yes. Probability is the quality or condition of being probable, does not matter whether it is good or bad because when it does happened, we take that as a success for it has occurred as what we have predicted. To those who did not do well in their academics, or not reaching a certain expectation, do not take it as failure, but success, because we still have the chances to get what we wanted, what we desired. The probability to cheer, to party overnight after grabbing the name, to lift up the smiles on the faces and to be proud of by anyone who cares, including us.

Lacrimation

Watery secretion of lacrimal glands, which moistens the conjunctiva, is somehow work as the tool to release stress and other negative feelings in us. Warm liquid substance coming down the cheek, as if the unwanted pressure too been taken out from our heart, our mind and our soul. Slight physical contact from a person, a friend, tapping on the shoulders, is enough to bring them out, after days, weeks, months or more. Seeing one going through this particular process, we would go panic and wanting to know more, of what causes that to happen, why and how. Offers from others, concerns shown by dozens, are what we don't usually see, though they have been there all this while. Messages and companies, from house to the other house, from this end to the other end, ways of showing the bonding between one another. Shop to shop we went, and car by car we passed by, we share the stories, laughter and jokes. And that, is the end of the day, another sun set, another months to another repetition, where it once occurs again.

Alpha

Another day, another sun rise. Ideas in the dark cannot seem to be extracted. They say, when we do the thinking before going to bed, it is often being stored in our subconscious, which is the reason why we sometimes failed to remember what we had in mind at the previous night. It does not occur only within the particular time period, but also during day time, whenever alpha brainwaves are produced. Still, it doesn't mean that the thoughts are no longer exist, but need some time to be discovered once again. Often heard people saying they couldn't go back to their previous life without the particular person or item, that they've already forgotten how it was like before. Is that a good excuse? Nah. Yes, it is undeniable that we might take some time to go back to our usual self, without the someone or something we've lost during the journey down the road. Still? It is not impossible. Let's take the so called 'previous life' as the thoughts which cannot be recalled, and the alpha brainwaves as the memories which were once able to lift up our smiles but bring pain to our heart in the current days. It still exists, just that it takes some time before we can find it once again. So, keep it going.

Superstition

How do we actually define the word 'superstitious'? Some say, to follow or to obey one's belief blindly, irrationally. A friend mentioned the traditions applied by his family during Chinese New Year, not to sweep the floor, not to wash the hair, not to use the scissors and so on. Another person replied saying those are the acts of superstition, instead of tradition. And why is that? Simple. The latter does not believe it, or shall we say, it is not included in what he believed in? Is it true that the rules mentioned are nothing but superstition? Again, yes and no, answers varies from one perspective to another. At times, we may be thinking what the others believed in is superstitious, however, let's not forgetting that they too might be having the same thought as ours, thinking we are being superstitious. So, perhaps we shall sit back and listen to their stories, whatever they want to share with regarding their belief and not comment on them. Peace.

First Farewell

This is what usually happens in a course or whatsoever similar. When the first day coming to an end, where not everyone knows each other, the crowd would be gone in a blink of an eye whereas they will gather around and have some conversations, not leaving for at least half an hour when the event has finally ended. More questions, more noises, more communications, often found during the last day, for they know each other better after spending some time together, for they do not know when they might be able to meet again, for they treasure the moments before parting. Photographs taken, contact numbers dropped down, accompany by laughter and promises to see each other again before it finally ends. Why it happens only when they putting down the curtains? Well, it takes time to complete any task, any reaction. It can be short, within seconds or minutes, or a longer time period, up to hours, days or even years. In chemistry, the slowest reaction out of many in producing one product would be the determining factor in rate. Similarly, the rate of a particular friendship is the time taken to know a person, to speak to a person and to bring the distance between two closer, while on the other hand, the time is the period of time where one first met this particular person and first saying 'goodbye'. The seed of friendship is planted when two started talking, and it grows as they start teasing each other, and continue growing as they keep in touch after the first farewell.

Blindfold

At times we tend to be blindfolded, forgetting the important values which should be embedded in us, even if they already did. And when does this occur? Every now and then perhaps? Maybe, or maybe not. Have seen several cases, where one willing to go through anything, in order to do the person he loves a favour, or just to be with her. In certain situation, this may be called stupidity, or we shall say, 'Love is blind'. Sometimes we might have done something which eventually offended our friends without knowing, in order to have the special someone joining us at the table. But does it worth it? Yes and no, varies from a person to another, really. Personally, it is understandable. The feelings of wanting to be with them, to spend as much time as possible staring into their eyes, let the stars shining bright in the darkest night, knowing there is love in our life. Still, everything has its limitation. Therefore, the visibility being blindfold should be well measured, before it is too late to do anything, anything at all.

Categories of Love

Can't remember exactly what the conversation was about, but it was something regarding the feelings of being loved and all. There were and are people who often ask, "Why is it so hard to find 'love'?" Is that so? Not really. Personally, it solely depends on the 'terms and conditions' being set by one. How he defines the meaning of being loved, what he wants from the person he loves and what the people who love him are suppose to do, in order to show him they do. Certain people might be thinking nobody loves them and cares about them, except the one they love, who somehow in their opinion, has 'connection' with them. Perhaps they need some reminders that love is divided into several categories, except the fact they do but they want something more. Friends who come up to us and ask if we are alright because we don't seem to be, concerns shown by the dearest, dedicated teachers, supportive family members and many more. They are all part of the show, part of the chapters of life, which we store and keep it in our heart, flipping through the pages once again in the future. It's just the matter of time where we own the 'products' from all categories, so why is the rush?

The Drivers

Once a parent complained that her daughter had been going out a lot, and always, there was this particular person who did the driving. So, yea, that particular friend of the daughter had become the one who brought bad influences, according to the parent. Some people may agree with this statement, but, is this really the truth? Personally, it can be a fact, or, assumption. We wouldn't know the inner side of a person by looking at the outer layer, would we? However, we tend to make assumptions by looking at one matter from one specific angle sometimes, even if we know real well that we shouldn't be. Hereby we might be complaining about our 'driver' who does not fulfil his duty for once after years being at our service, but what about the rest of the days where he sent us everywhere we wanted to go, in and out the house from time to time? Perhaps we have gotten used to having the drivers? And forgot the word 'appreciation'? Not to mention it isn't something that can be shown by taking them to a meal or getting them a small gift. If it is not from the bottom of the heart or to realise the fact on oneself and needs some reminders from the people around, it means nothing, nothing at all.

When It Clashes

With all the plans and timetable clash together, one starts panicking, urging the president to give him the answer and so he knows what to do next. A friend reminded him though, asking, "Do you want to go? If you seriously do, why would you want to know whether the meeting is on? It's either you go, or you don't." Something new indeed, or probably not. Why? We may ask ourselves. To feel better? Walking down the Petaling street without a sense of guilt, knowing there is no meeting? What if it's the other way round, there is one? It would be harder to decide, wouldn't it? But why is that we want to know more? When we ourselves know what we wanted the most? Does it really help sometimes? Personally, the information we get might be useful, might be not, depending on the situations really. One once mentioned, too many options may not help in making decisions, but we usually take it into account, question comes first and answer later. Whichever ways possible, we tend to forget what the most important factor is, the manipulative skill needed in the first place. Thus, reminders should be given from time to time, which would smack us right at the back of our head, giving us a clearer mind.

No Regrets

From time to time, we hear people saying, "How I wish I've never met him and so I wouldn't go through such a thing." Something unavoidable, perhaps, it is a never ending story, which goes on and on down the journey of life. Still, it is useless of regretting what we have done, whom we have met. Waste of time, really, to spend it on feeling emotional, blaming oneself, rather than doing something about it. However, somehow it seems that, it is our right of being regret, as it doesn't happen to all animals from other Kingdoms. Let's put it this way, we learn from what we have been through, the mistakes we've made, the people we've met, and the stories we've shared. Those are the experiences which we can find nowhere. We cherish the happy moments and the dearest, but why can't we cherish our mistakes? After all, they too help us grow, to know what is right and what is not, to seek the better side of ours, of others. What is done, is done. So, why don't we try something new? Like the 'No Regret' from Law of Ueki.

Catching Personalities

A friend of mine has two different blogs for his own, one is what he called, the darker side of himself and the other is the brighter one, Yin and Yang, as the Chinese says. How do we define the darker personalities of ours? To have the evil plans of conquering the world? Or simply, to possess negative thinking? Either one, not all people would reveal their darker sides easily, unless, it is done by accidents. In the process of communicating with one and another, people tend to study our personalities as well, through observations and time being spent together. One once commented, "You don't know the tricks to discover a person's true identity, do you?" Well, we have different types of people around us, the sarcastic ones, the easy going ones, the quiet ones and many more. Somehow, there is something similar, which is we don't just take off our masks in public, but only towards the people we entrusted to, probably, or perhaps, being snatched off without knowing. Curious though, what is the purpose of doing so? To define each and every friend of ours? And choose the better ones from within? Or to prevent ourselves from getting into troubles? Not involving in unnecessary problems?

Emotional

Seriously, how do we define the word 'emotional'? People often use it when one is being more than his usual emotions, remaining quiet and spaced out a little. Sometimes, we feel like cutting down the talking, sit there and do nothing at all, listening to the music, more to ignoring it perhaps, trapping ourselves in our very own world deep down in our mind. And that, is what certain people called 'thinking' or even, 'day dreaming', varies from one's point of view and understanding towards that particular person. Once one commented on the blog entries, saying they are rather inspiring, while several people think they are emotional, also had one who refers these as, old lady's thoughts. Well, whatever we do, it often involves our emotions, isn't it? If to say one is not being biased at all times, not showing any favoritism, no offense, but it is rather unbelievable because we would somehow affected by our emotions, just that it might not be that obvious. We, are always emotional, does not matter when we are angry, sad, being mean, happy, feeling betrayed and so on. Those are the emotions exist, which may be able to control our thinking, somehow, someway.

Something New

One year after the day walking out from the agency with 'P' license in hand, finally have the chance to drive out of the neighbourhood alone. Imagine half way ironing the school uniform and been told to go out on oneself, the excitement, the indescribable feelings and everything complicated being mix together in one. Of course, this is temporary, which would last only for several times, after the jam and irritating moments in the car waiting for our turn to cross. Still, it is the exhilaration we enjoy, the first time ever we try something new, though it might soon be forgotten, or probably not. In most occasions, we tend to get bored of doing the same thing over and over again, and certainly, something new would have lifted up our spirit once again. Pretty common, isn't it? Let's not forgetting our parents who actually willing to let go of their hands, not restricting us from going out alone, try their very best not be overprotective, for us need to grow up and be independent, somehow, someday. Well, these are all something new in our life, every changes, every decisions being made, to us, to our parents, to everybody on earth.

Judgement

Saw a man standing at one side of the park, as if waiting for someone. Well, he is. In fact, he does that every morning, every weekdays. "We pay him RM5 per month and now everyday, he would be there waiting for us, and leaves if nobody show up at the end of the day," said one of the members in the group. Though she tries to convince that the man himself is lonely, somehow there is this feeling that, this is not the right thing to do. It is undeniable that a 50 year old man might be lonely without being surrounded by words and laughter, but, to let him waits for hours till sun rises? With no phone calls or text messages when they couldn't make it? By thinking that he gets money while all he has to do is none other than waiting for people's arrival? Personally, this is insulting, to the person who does voluntarily teaching, to his feelings of seeing his group of students showing up at the other side of the park, and most of all, to his lonely heart. At times, we would be thinking, "Who cares? We pay him for that." So what? Does that not mean he deserve some respect? As a teacher? As a friend? At young, we were taught to appreciate what the others have done for us and yet, as time passes, some of us tend to judge people by money. Is that what we should be learning now? I wonder.

Stress

"College life is stressful, so be ready." An advise from an old friend. Some even say, it would be nice to remain as babies, where they need no to worry about the homework, the problems with clients and the bosses, what to cook for the family and many more. But personally, babies do feel stress sometimes, just that they do not know how to complain and totally forgot about it when they can. Imagine us crying out loud whenever we are hungry, thirsty, in pain, or feeling uncomfortable, not being able to speak up and tell the parents what we want. It's rather tiring, isn't it? Everywhere we go would be stressful, which varies from a person to another that is. Not to mention we tend to focus on the particular situations we are in, forgetting the rest are too feeling stress, does not matter who they are, or where they are. So, perhaps it is time to sit down, take a minute or two, 'recharge' our energy and move on.

Changes

"You've changed," a person said. "Frankly, there's more, and for your information, you never once know me," one replied. Yes, some say we human beings are the most unpredictable life form, yet, most of us often come up with the same ideas, same solutions and the same actions. For example, we certainly do not like people challenging our principle, which we have been holding on to after all these years, unless, we've changed. Bit by bit, we change our perspectives, ways on looking at the problems and, our principle, depending on several environmental factors. Remembering one anime scene mentioned, "We get stronger and stronger everyday, that is why, the puppets you created yesterday can never beat us," telling us changes occur every now and then, or we may say, everyday, provided with strong mental power of not giving up. Throughout the process of strengthening our will-power, creating a better person out of ourselves, we would too go through the time when we are at the worst, where we do not wish to move on. However, do note that, without these obstacles, we learn nothing. Even a blade needs cold water after hundreds of Celsius in order to create a better self. Why not us?

Saturday, March 8, 2008

Sarcasm

A blog entry inspired by one, or perhaps, given by one. Reminding the time spent with friends and family, laughter and smiles on the faces, affecting the people around. Of course, in certain situations, being sarcastic is nothing but jealousy, strategy, and a way to bring a person down. And again, as we all know, each and everything on earth has its very own advantages and disadvantages, which depend on how we use it, selfishly or selflessly. Being sarcastic in bad timing may leads to chaos between two, or more, depending on the person who said it, whether he is a close friend of ours, or simply, an unfriendly 'stranger'. Personally, whatever a person says, who also appears to be the one we dislike, the words would automatically transformed, or probably, misinterpreted into sarcasm. In contrary, sentences from a closer group are what we called, harmless, sometimes. Physical appearances not necessary to be what we are deep down, but, it is an undeniable fact indeed, that our heart determines how we feel and how we look at the people around.

Further Creations

Sitting in front of the screen, listening to the latest news regarding the hottest topic all over the country which concerns many, the mind starts wandering around unconsciously. Thousands of years have passed, and we, spent most of the time to search, to study and to develop. Discovering mysteries, creating items, bringing us forward, all out of the particles we have in the Mother Earth. Here by we learn, extract and learn, from the curiosity, experiences and stories. After all the lines which have been shared by others, the idea of creation by man kind is now strengthen, with more definitions. We, create something out of nothing, create nothing out of something. It is no longer about the will to hold on to our stand, nor the luck in discovering, but also, the silliness of taking the problems seriously, with no appropriate actions taken to solve it.

Appearing Offline

In certain programmes, we may choose to appear offline in order to avoid annoyance, or simply for the sake of doing it. Perhaps this so called service too can be used in running away from the truth, things which we do not wish to come across with, or choose not to believe in. Appearing offline somehow works as a barrier, in between the path to solutions and us. Apparently, it works on most people, to hide in their very own world and not being disturbed, allowing only the people whom they wish to speak to dropping by. However, does not matter how wonderful and magical it seems, there are differences in between those who are not online and those who are appearing to be. And certainly, there are people who can differentiate them, for sure. One once told, appearing offline is to give less attention to certain people, and able to 'spy' on that particular person. Come to think of it, aren't those the signs of running away from problems? To not letting them get into us, to not speaking up of how we feel and what we want from a person? Hoping the problems will be gone somehow? How long can we last? By doing so?

Friday, March 7, 2008

Dramatic

"That is so dramatic!" A compliment regarding a person's life perhaps? Well, sometimes we may have such thought that whatever happens in the drama show, is less likely to be happening in reality. Still, the story lines now appearing on the screen are no more than what man kind has come up with, with their very own 'fairy tale maker' deep inside their head. Actually, all lives on Earth are dramatic, which more or less depending on how we look at it and how to make that 'drama' comes true. An interesting life? Adventurous? Whatever we name it, is possible, if and only if, we work on it. So, time to make a change?

A Book's Cover

Never judge a book by its cover, typical sentence used by many whenever one's physical appearance is concerned. Does it apply to all? Frankly, most people do judge a person on first glance, something we couldn't help doing it indeed. As we all know, it takes time to know someone better, yet, the first impression usually determines the probability of continuing the befriending acts. Yes, we may find this insulting, but isn't that what most people been practicing after all these years? When we are in certain unfamiliar environments, we may approach those who seem more 'friendly' rather than the serious-looking type, though there might be the exceptional. And of course, changes might be made after a certain period of time spending with the newly made friends, hence narrow down the list and there we have it, the closer groups. Hate to admit it, but sometimes, judgements come first and understanding later. Even in book store, when we are looking at two different books, which happen to be the same title, same contents and story lines, we would still go for the eye-catching one. What's more?

The Guts

"Why didn't you ask me why?" a person asked. "Well, you will tell me if you wanted to, isn't it?" He replied. At times, we would really love it when someone actually pays attention to what we wanted to say and what we wanted to share with. Still, having a listener is one thing, our decision whether we want to tell, or perhaps we shall just keep it to ourselves is the other. Does not matter how quiet a person is, there are times he wants to speak out loud too, but, does he have the guts to do so? When a friend being emotional, we might either force that particular person to spill out everything which troubles him, or stay with him, not saying a word but to wait patiently, till he needs a shoulder to lean on, a listener to listen to. So, brave enough to speak up?

Sweet Talking

How are we suppose to react when someone come to us and say, "I want you and I need you. Please forgive me, for whatever I have done to you."? Well, not to say all but there are people who behave in such a way, in order to get a company in the loneliest night. Sweet talker, is what we refer to those who spend time lifting up the smile on others, probably not, with particular intentions. Indeed, compliments are needed at times, but not overdoing it since it would only works in certain situations. Stories after stories have been shared, from friends, or even friends of the friends, but the same story line goes on, like never ends. Once read an article regarding the particular phrase which has been circling years after years, saying the naughtiness of men is able to win the ladies' heart. It might be true, but the level of naughtiness needed varies from one to another, similar to the situation where one likes salty food and the other doesn't. A slightly more salt may irritates the person we are dealing with. Be it good or bad, the intention of one sweet talking is the most important, whether he really means it, or simply, making fun of the person.

Please

Giving satisfaction to one, or more if we must say. Since birth, we have learned to please people and between one another. We try pleasing our parents by getting good grades in academics, the teachers by being discipline, to our friends, we be there for them 24/7 and last but not least, to please the others on what they wanted most, instead of what they needed most. In many ways, such phenomena have been seen but not taken seriously by many, for it is some sort of culture among the human beings. Indeed, some might be suffocated throughout the process of pleasing the others. Dozens of questions on this particular subject are thrown everywhere, with not much explanations and discussions, since it is nothing more than the most common topic we now have. What and how we should do to get rid such, culture? Is there an answer? No and don't suppose so. If we choose not to please the others and do things on our free will, we are pleasing ourselves, which is still, a pleasing act in the end.

极短篇:还记得

还记得那片草原,你感性的言语及一切、一切。沉浸在这动人的音铉里,让我想起你,牵动我心,闪烁着。那是个多么难忘的深夜,我首次在那地方与你相见。瞬间,我俩缘分在牵连。并非普通的红线,而是更高一层的白。即纯洁,亦耀眼。
`
头一回,我俩不多言,只是彼此相望,直到心窝底。你的柔、你的美,让我无言。陪伴在我身旁的她,将我带至你身边后保持沉默,不打扰我们神圣的交流。你那头足以铺盖大地的秀发让我眷恋,偷走我部分的心。当我合上眼,既能听见你甜美的歌声,平伏我不安的心情。来个深呼吸,你的体香进我鼻里,让我迷失在你怀抱当中。
`
犹记得一阵风吹过,抚摸着我的脸。当下就问,是你吗?你不做回应,只是淡淡一笑,轻轻带过。我俩相识不过一夜,却似十年。这,就是你的魔力吧?人说,美是一种罪。然而,你的美足以惊动全球,让人不舍。戏剧以你为主,发挥其想象力,将你喻为闪烁之女,让你更加完美无瑕。当然,事实与否不得而知, 只因你我相隔万里,中间夹有亿种元素我俩不能碰触。
`
星河啊星河,事隔数年,你还记得吗?

Punching Bags

"I was only telling you!" one yells. That's right, was only some "advise", what else more? A person who raises up his volume, complaining on all sorts of stuff he had been through. And the listener? Whoever possible of course. In another word, human punching bag, using words as the fist, feelings as the strength. There are two major categories on people who use punching bag, one is to train their speed and strength, and the other, would be releasing their anger or whatsoever negative emotions, simply hit on the object till they are tired. In life, yes, we would go through different stages, overcome different obstacles and of course, certain people might be releasing their stress by sharing them, yet, there are also people who take it out on someone, does not matter the consequences it may caused. Yep, the listeners are the human punching bags. They can be our friends, family or even a stranger, sharing one particular similarity, which is they are there for us 24/7, remaining silent when they are not needed. They respond when we 'hit' them and eventually come back to us based on how we treated them. Comparing both categories, the former sharpen their skills and so able to continue their battle in the society, however, the latter get nothing other than hurting themselves and the others. At times, we might not realise whoever or whatever is important to us, till the moment we lose it. The worst it, we lose it and we don't even know what it is. Thus, we should appreciate our 'punching bags' and not letting anybody ruin this special relationship in between.
