Riddles Riddles Riddles

For some weird reason during a conversation last night, a friend said something that triggered something in my mind. So i made it into a riddle, which then became a topic of discussion during dinner tonight. After all, we all like riddles right? especially if we can solve them. It goes like this:
If a person is Good at one moment, and is bad at another moment,
Which is the real moment?
And of course YOU, the reader will say.. it depends on if he is bad more, or good more.
But then... what if the moments were equal? Then how would you decide? the continuation of the riddle goes like this:

If in the day the sky is blue, and at night the sky is black,
Which is the real sky?
Really... there is not true right or wrong answer. Please do try to remember this. I only ask that you read this with an open mind and i shall try my best to explain what i think, as eloquently as i can, with my extremely limited words.. This little speck of dust, is requesting that YOU dear reader, take a look at possibilities, and what you can create with possibilities. link the two riddles, and you'll get a clearer picture.

If a person is good at one moment, and bad at another moment,
If in the day the sky is blue, and at night the sky is black,
which one is real?
My answer is all are real and all are false. So there is no real and there is no false. Now the reason i say this is because, everything that we perceive is biased in one way or another. We gauge and measure it according to some other experience or mental conditioning. It's all about perceptions, and perceptions can change at any moment. And because perceptions change all the time, everything is the truth, yet it is not. Get it? In other words, is it there or is it in my head ?

If you think of it as being as being over there, then that's how you will experience it. But it you think that it's in your head, then you get a whole new experience. Things become a little more complicated, you'll see that your perception of something is shaped by the mental constructs (thoughts) that you impose on it... Yes yes... you may now be thinking, "but what about the good and bad ? How can you compare nature with something where people have a choice?" Well... can you see where your mind has focused to? What if the riddle had been:
If at one moment the sea is in High tide, the next moment it's in low tide,
If in the day the sky is blue, and at night the sky is black,
Which one is real?
Would your thoughts still be the same?

So now.... with this in mind... Think about the possibilities. Can you choose to view the world differently from what it already is? Can you choose to view everything in a non-judgemental and loving manner? After all.. we all want peace and happiness right? Think about it..... What possibilities are you capable of creating? After all I am just a little speck of dust in a vast universe.. but i choose to think that how i think or view the world does make a difference. How about you?

A Fit of Insanity

Today was just like any other ordinary day. I woke up early, did my morning routines and went straight to my desktop and started working on my assignments. By noon, i was sweating like a pig. I had the fan turned off; my very own contribution to the fight against global warming. It's rather pitiful, but i try my best. That's when a thought arose... "I need to get a hair cut. Shave my head bald if i must. I must get a hair cut NOW"
Yes, i do get a little bit uptight about my brain boiling from additional insulation, so i happily called my hair stylist to make an appointment. Hair cuts, you see are a great destressor for me, and it is very important for me to get it cut when i feel the urge. I really can't explain why. So i called my hairstylist and He, unfortunately, being an extremely popular guy was too busy. So i decided to delay the hair cut and went to the gym instead.
So there i was, trying to motivate myself to run for 10 minutes after a full day of sitting in front of the computer. Half way through my leg workout the thought came again.. " I need a hair cut, i need one NOW". Being the self proclaimed psychologist that i am... i nicely talked myself into doing a few more leg extensions and suppressed the Id in me. The inner child, Id.
It was storming outside, surely it would be crazy of me to walk out to the hair dresser right?
But before i knew it, i found myself storming out of the gym, with my wallet and gym towel over my head walking in the rain to the stylist opposite the gym. It was closed. And in my great desperation i walked around the block looking for a place to cut my hair, still thinking " must get hair cut NOW"
Then Lo and Behold as i was about to accept defeat, I found a saloon... It was something like an Ah Lians Saloon. To me, it was Divine intervention, I've been to this area before and i have never noticed this saloon in the second floor of the shop houses. So i walked up the stairs.
Inside, the walls were white, the room was rather bare and there were only a handful of chairs, and yes.. the lady who cut my hair, was a somewhat old school Ah Lian. But i was desperate... so i sat down and got my hair cut. After that i had a nice sweet smile on my face.... my hair was cut... i was happy.. It really didn't matter how i looked, or who cut my hair... my brain was feeling cool and my heart was happy.

My moment of insanity had passed......

Why do I blog?

Hmmm ... this is a very interesting question. Honestly, i never thought I'd ever start a blog. I was one of those few people who thought "why the hell would i want to let the whole world know what I'm doing?" and " isn't it bad enough that we read so much gossip in magazines and papers, do we really need more on the Internet.?" Well, i guess things change. People change, thoughts and perceptions change. I now think blogs are a great way to share experiences and thoughts.



So i guess that's why, on this night, as i was driving my very old worn down car, i had a light bulb experience. A sudden enlightenment... I THINK I'LL START A BLOG. And so here i am, writing a blog. Thanks to instructions from a friend i got everything started. This is a whole new world to me... and what can i offer to the world? What do i hope to achieve by writing here?



Well.... nothing much actually, after all I'm just a little speck of dust in this vast universe. But then, i was once told even a little speck of dust can make a difference. So here i am, sharing my thoughts, my experiences with other little or maybe big specks of dust. And hey, you never know... we just might make a difference, in our very own weird way......
