Damages.

Everything in life damages. They tend to dent something, change someone and affect somehow. We think about things, do things and say things. Often, these actions affect. And many a time, we do not realize. Yet, at the other end of the line, issues are altered; mentality changes and people are damaged, physically or emotionally. Sometimes they affect in the good way and sometimes in the bad. While the damages will not manifest itself most of the time, the chronic impact that it contains may well be unimaginable.

Today – a bad day. Everything popped up out of nowhere. Everything wasn’t in your way smoothly. Every element of bad feelings flowed in. The first thing you wanted so much to do was to be alone for a while. The last thing you didn’t want was to see another bad event coming your way. But your luck was rotten and your order of “first thing, last thing” got reversed.

It’s only natural for bad thoughts to enter your mind after many unforeseen events. These thoughts build up in your mind as bad experiences or motives. As time passes by, they change your concept and mentality on certain stuffs, they changes your whole point of view and how you going to react to a certain issues and they changes you. You feel so cautious now, you don’t feel natural and you don’t feel yourself. Bottom-line – the things you think will damage.

Today – a fruitful day. You fell into a deep discussion with your fellow buddies about an interesting topic about lust, infatuation and love. You guys debated and concluded on the clear difference, in view of thin-invisible lines each has. Your understanding hit another level.

Perhaps, today in that discussion you engaged in, you’ve said nothing wrong, you’ve done nothing wrong and you’re clear about your intentions. But, people still get affected. Words are always so powerful and damaging. You wouldn’t know how, you wouldn’t know why.

Knowing something before experiencing it and knowing something when you’re experiencing it is a total different matter altogether. Like the child who is about to learn how to stand on his feet and walk with the knowledge of the many consequences of falling. Bottom-line – the things you say will damage.

Today – a disgusting day. I saw a young Indian kid got spat at by several Chinese kids at the playground. I saw a secondary school educator laughing, together with his clique, at a semi-autistic girl in uniform of their school at the nearby coffee-shop. I saw a little girl who got caned so badly by her mother for god knows why at the void deck.

Actions, Actions and more disgusting ones. The aftermath of each action is pretty much obvious over here and needless for me to explain, and that I’ll just leave this section empty for you to fill it in. Bottom-line – the things you do will damage.

By far, till today, how much have we been damaged? This is a question that I can never answer. But I know these damages are done by my parents, by my friends/lovers and by me, which make up the imperfections in me, in you, in us.

Word of wisdom: Watch your thoughts, watch your words and watch your actions. They are the ultimate weapons of destruction.

Enjoy!
