B.l.i.s.s
21st September 2007
I saw green plantation.
After the green came brownish yellow.
The corns stems were welcoming autumn.
I saw the bright blue sky.
The sun was shining rather brightly despite the cold weather.
I saw people walking their dogs.
Some were walking leisurely, some were resting.
Others jogged.
While the rest were rushing to work.
I love this kind of feeling.
It really was bliss.
Ignorance isnt bliss..
The only feeling that i didnt like at that time was, i felt heavy.
Huh! Need to exercise!
I was on the train, on my way to Riegel (its the name of the place that i'll be doing my thesis starting this October). I was looking outside when i had this urge to write. I think the word that suited my feeling at that time is bliss. The weather was getting colder, autumn is just around the corner. Truth was i havent been outside the house for a few days. No wonder that i'm loving the day out.

Friend
from "Like Flowing River" by Paulo Coelho
One morning, a Mongol warrior, Genghis Khan, and his court went hunting. His companions carried bows and arrows, but Genghis Khan carried on his arm his favourite falcon, which was better and surer than any arrow, because it could fly up into the skies and see everything that a human being could not.
However, despite the group's enthusiastic efforts, they found nothing. Disappointed, Genghis Khan returned to the encampment and in order not to take out his frustation on his companions, he left the rest of the party and rode on alone. They had stayed in the forest for longer than expected, and Khan was desperately tired and thirsty. In the summer heat, all the streams had dried up and he could find nothing to drink. Then, to his amazement, he saw a thread of water flowing from a rock just in front of him.
He removed the falcon from his arm, and took out the silver cup which he always carried with him. It was very slow to fill and, just as he was about to raise it to his lips, the falcon flew up, plucked the cup from his hands, and dashed it to the ground.
Genghis Khan was furious, but then the falcon was his favourite, and perhaps it, too, was thirsty. He picked the cup, cleaned off the dirt, and filled it again. When the cup was only half-empty this time, the falcon again attacked it, spilling the water.
Genghis Khan adored this bird, but he knew that he could not, under any circumstances, allow such disrespect; someone might be watching this scene from afar and later on, would tell his warriors that the great conquerer was incapable of taming a mere bird.
This tie, he drew his sword, picked up the cup and refilled it, keping one eye on the stream and on the other on the falcon As soon as he had enough water in the cup and was ready to drink, the falcon again took flight and flew towards him. Khan, with one thrust, pierced the bird's breast.
The thread of water, however had dried up; but Khan, determined now to find something to drink, climbed the rock in search of the spring. To his surprise, there really was a pool of water and, in the middle of it, dead, lay one of the most poisonous snakes in the region. If he had drunk the water, he too, would have died.
Khan returned to camp with the dead falcon in is arms. He ordered a hold figurine of the bird to be made and on one of the wings, he engraved:

Even when a friend does something you do not like,
he continues to be your friend.
And on the other wing, he had these words engraved:
Any action commited in anger is an action doomed to failure.

Me write:
We always think that our action is right and we are always the victim. Seldom we think about other people, whether their laughter is a way for conceiling their pain. Or their solitude is just a way of expressing stubborness. People cannot read other's mind, nor we are always right in interpreting their body languange. We are not mind readers.
That's why in friendship, its important for you to accept your friend as they are. Simply assuming something is not good enough. When i see my friends cried, i would let them be, let them have their own time first before asking what had happened. Then, when they are more open to share, i am all ears. That's my way, unless they had come to me first, that's a different case. If my friend wants to assume that i dont want calm her, i cannot do anything but just hope that she'll understand my way of handling things. If not, then, i guess we didnt understand each other enough as if i did explain it to them, she wouldnt believe it anyways. As for me, I had assumed too much, i have learned that the hard way for some time now and i really hope i have learned my lesson.
