regardless of what they say, u realise that when shit happens, you
are on your own...... regardless of whoever's reassurance, whatever intervention and whichever circumstance, unless there is someone in your immediate vicinity who is capable of some mental, emotional, or physical help, otherwise, you really are on your two feet, tryin to solve whatever's been thrown at you....... it could be depressing, yes, that ultimately, regardless of how tight your family circle is, or how many people you know and how many close friends your have, when a problem crops up, and you're looking in whichever direction you can for help or advice, you are standing alone in a desert of emptiness that simply echoes back at you through its' mirages which only serve to deceive and confuse you................... however, you can look at it from the other perspective, that all these trials that are thrown at you which you have to deal with on your own serve only one purpose; that is, to build you and make you a stronger and wiser person than you already are......... there aint no two ways about it......... in a time when you feel you want or you need someone to talk to and there just isn't anyone around, of course, e natural thing to do is panic.................. then you think twice and try to rationalise with yourself.......... it doesnt make sense all e time, and you often question yourself over your own decisions, but it makes you who you are, and trains you to cope with the harsher obstacles which will ultimately be thrown your way..................
in e words of lee phui mun's favourite song,
'no man is an island, no man stands alone', i beg to differ......... we are all a scattering of islands, each one standing on his own, tryin and fightin to stay afloat and retain whatever dignity and composure we have, each one battling his own inner devil and e devil of the others........ some people may share similar traits, some may differ greatly in their reactions to the trails thrown at them..... but ultimately, we are on our own, and can depend on no one but yourself
