I just don't get how some people don't understand the concept of two-way street. I don't like it when people give themselves excuses that other people are busy, that's why they don't try and make the effort to chat up with them, or catch up even with them. Those are simply excuses. But of course if they themselves are busy, I'd understand. But projecting reasons that doesn't concern them? Simply unreasonable. Because I believe that preoccupation is a constant. Aren't the rest of us equally busy too? But don't we try, even in the simplest gestures to give more attention to other things but work?

Relationships, by every definition and dimensions of it, work on this basis. If excuses such as "I won't ask you out, cos I just know you're busy" are being used multiple times, the only thing that is reflected is just how you simply don't care at all because you don't even try. I believe that if some people in your life mean so much to you, you try to make sacrifices, and most importantly, you make time for them. Even when it takes some time to wait, it's really worth it.

I'm driven to write this post precisely because I can't entirely ignore the nagging voice inside my head, telling me to use writing as a tool to not only express myself, but to reclaim my voice. It is such an insanely noisy world. The constant stream of information from different online platforms not only pull me from various directions, but it spreads my attention too thin that it is impossible to follow one stream of thought, sit on it for awhile, slowly reflect and if possible, articulate it. It is not ...

Information vs. Knowledge

“To know how to put what knowledge in which place is wisdom. Otherwise, knowledge without order and seeking it without discipline does lead to confusion and hence to injustice to one's self.” - Syed Muhammad Naquib Al-Attas This week's key takeaway for me is that; knowledge requires knowing its proper order and place.  Everything else is just information.

Infinity

unbounded to any definitions or limits, existing but not adequately known. this entity, being constantly talked about, pulls like an unbeatable gravitational force. we are always approaching, almost touching, existing in tandem, still, not yet meeting Infinity the eventual meeting where there are no bounds
