The world is going crazyy.

Wow.. I just realised that life isn't all that simple. When a matter is settled, let it be settled.. There's no use raking up the settled dead leaves again yah?

Well anyway onto the topic of my post: Not mother earth, but rather this entire post addresses the entire piece of society living on mother earth.

"Without a common power to unite the people, they would be in war of every man against every man as long as their will to fight is known." Language Arts students, how familiar does that sound? Quoted from Thomas Hobbes. Wow, surprisingly I'm still in touch with Lang Arts. Anyway, it may seem naive from my point of view that as long as no one offends another, that peace can be obtained. For example, I have never in my entire life intended to hurt yixiu, but unintentionally things may have occurred.

Or rather, explicitly lets take an example. XXX's parent's have passed away at a young age. I don't know about this, and I complain about what lousy parents I have. XXX gets angry that I do not treasure my parents as I ought, and gets hurt that I have parents yet do not seem to appreciate that fact. Unintentionally, I have hurt XXX, or angered XXX.

Now, when things are done unintentionally, why bear grudges? If something is done unintentionally, let it pass; forgive and forget. What for all the arguments? All the squabble? Someone ACCIDENTALLY knocks into you on the road, and he says sorry. Well then let it be, and say, "It's okay, relax."

Another real life example- Today I was at parkway builders. A person carrying a basketball was flinging it around and it hit my hand while I was drinking bubble tea. Now we all know that he did not mean it intentionally, so I said it was alright. Now if he had INTENTIONALLY hit my hand, then a big fuss would have been kicked up. But no big fuss due to unintentionally. There's no point in scolding the person if he accidentally hit you or something...

Well I really don't know why I'm typing this post. Maybe it's because I'm a tad bit... poked poked by the tags on MJ's blog... And it made me think of the times I was the one being accused and slandered... I remember sincerely apologising to someone (well, now I forgot who it was). But her friends kept on going against me... Man I mean I'm making the effort here to apologise for my anger, my deeds and my actions. Why am I being gunned down? Why am I being shot at? Why are all of you shooting missles in my face?

Those times are over, and now peaceful skies lie ahead. I just hope I don't offend anyone anymore.

Thank God for Him who resides in me, gives me the wisdom and the peace to avoid such situations and not make big fusses out of small things like someone accidentally banging into you on the road... Thank God for Him who gives me the wisdom on how to settle disputes, and thank God for the calm and good sense of mind that I have.

Feeling at peace is so much better than being at war, don't all of you think so?
