What makes You laugh, Makes me Cry.

Have you ever thought about how often it is that we laugh in the face of another person's agony.

Why is it that we find another person's owes hilarious?

Are We such a hurtful, such a scornful species that we take pleasure in another's pain?

The simplest little thing. A guy gets up in the morning from bed and is walking to the loo and he slips and falls, it would evoke a rip roaring laugh from most people.

It seems to be at the very essence of human life.


If a person you really don't like or a competitor has a hard time somewhere in your heart you feel happy.
Why would anyone take pleasure from another's pain, well that's our nature I guess...

Well this is a blog with a thought to ponder over. Do you Laugh when someone else crys?

Do you find other people laughing when you cry?

Think about it.

When Yesterday was better than Today.

Well a friend once told me,

"The Day you think you yesterdays are better than your todays,
It time for you to do something about it. To make you todays just as good"

Well, I did do something about it 6 years ago. I changed my life, I made my Todays, my only day. I lived for the day. I took each day as it came. I made some great friends and I completely changed as a person. There was nothing that I wanted at that time but make my life different.

That was a stage in my life where I wanted a fresh slate, and to my good fortune I got it. I might have taken it a bit far. And like one of my best friends once said, I developed a new trait, a need to prove myself. To show what I am made of. To show I am good. Something which i didn't really need to do.

Over those 6 years I matured as a person, I overcame a lot of my insecurities and made a lot of great friends. I also learned a lot about people and relationships along the way. I might have as a result become a little less trusting of all people, but very trusting of others. It's a trait I have noticed in myself over the years. I tend to take people at face value a lot. Maybe that's my nature, I am what you get, good or bad, but that's not how the world works, and I am learning that the hard way. I went from a boy out of school, to the guy I am today but my nature has not changed much, I am trusting, angry, loving, honest(at least to myself) and try to be happy.

I have always tried to smile, No matter what, I have tried to smile, when I am feeling down I look in the mirror and give myself a big bright smile, I perks me up a bit. As a result I may get pushed around a bit, not everyone takes me seriously, but this is not a trait I really want to get rid off.

I met someone along the way, that someone changed my life. She has been my emotional support, a friend, a sister, she has always been there for me, through the thick and the thin. She has been wonderful.

And then there was that girl, she came into my life and my life that was taking it's second downward turn and she turned it right back up. I fell in love. She is the most loving person I ever met and I find it really difficult to express any feeling about her. She's my world.

Through all my years, I had taken 2 people for granted. My Parents. They were always there when I needed them and I never thought twice to ask them for help. Their influence over my life is profound to say the least. Over the last few years I have come to see my folks in many lights, but I wont go over that online. Let's just say they mean the world to me.

There have been those friends, who have always told me the truth no matter what, friends who have been my listening posts for years, My friends who take me for what I am, and don't try and change me.

Well, Is this blog making any sense?

Did you notice anything strange about the tense of the entire blog?

Yes, it's in past tense. I am in a new world now and I find my self back where I started, and I remember the line my friend told me that day,

"The Day you think you yesterdays are better than your todays,
It time for you to do something about it. To make you todays just as good"

Well this time around, I am not going to change anything about me or my life.

I am in a new phase of my life.

A phase where my past influences still exist and I very much want them to be a part of my life. My Love, My parents, My sister, my best friends.

But this phase is about me.

This is going to be about how I take my yesterdays and still make them a part of my todays, even though most of my yesterdays are half way across the globe.

These todays are going to be about how I take my life forward, without leaving my past behind.
In a world where work seems to be everything, I need to strike a balance between, Life and Life at work....

My need to prove myself is showing it's face at work and that I am sure can be tapped to get the best out of me.

Well yes, today my yesterdays seem wonderful, but my todays don't seem to bad either. I just need to strike a balance. A way to make my Yesterday a part of my today.

Smitten

We have all been smitten, Or so we think. To be Smitten with love is quite something else.

Websters defines smitten as "strongly and suddenly affected".

Our first crush, or our second... Oh how we thought that was it that was the real thing. But then comes along that one person. That one person that makes you feel indescribable. That one person whose presence in a room livens up your day. A person whose voice makes you happy.

When you just met her and you are on your way home afterwards, and you start missing her at once. You know you are Smitten.

You miss her when you are in a huge group of your good friends, You know you are smitten.

When you are with her in a crowd and you can see only her, you know you are smitten.

When you are miles apart and you feel like a part of your heart has been ripped out. You know you are smitten.



When you feel incomplete without her. You are smitten.

You are smitten with Love. You are helpless to do anything about it. You are hers. And if you are lucky.. She is yours too..

Oh what a feeling it is to be Smitten. To be in Love.

To be in love for so many years, to write something like this after so long, to feel the intensity in your heart when you are writing it shows the power of love, the power of true Love.

A thought of a word, produced a blog, the fingers on the keyboard evoked emotions and emotions brought out my love in words. That's being Smitten.

Anger Management

Well this article is not exactly about anger management. It's about Anger Utilization.

Anger, a human feeling. One of the most primal feelings on Earth. We all get angry. That's natural. But how long it takes for us to get angry, what we do with our anger. Do we use it, misuse it. How long we hold it in. This is all different.

Some of us Burst like lava bursting out of a volcano and some of us simmer and simmer and hold it in.

But the power of anger, such a lethal force. If that bountiful energy that gets generated is tapped. Imagine the things that can get done or undone, depending on the way it is used.

Take for example, you get fed up with a nagging boss. You could get so frustrated that you could destroy half the work that you have done or you could get so keyed up to show him who's the man, that you could sit through and power on and give him what he wants way before time.

People burst like balloons filled with water and wet everyone around them. They seem to be happiest when exploding on someone. Then there are those that keep it all within and seem to implode. These people are dangerous. The day they blow, you'd better be a mile away. Be nowhere close by.

This is Anger Utilization. A short blah on the characteristics of Anger.
