Blah...

Sorry if i have sounded rude on my previous entry tat i found attending the sharing session a torture. Its actually something very individual and obviously does not represent how the rest of the alumni felt. Some of them did enjoy the session though. Most imptly, i wish to thanks the organisers for their effort in bridging up the alumni with the newbies. Tats definitely something essential.
Its really just me... tat probably becos my present job has kinda caused a drastic change in my lifestyle. I am not in my best of moods lately, and i feel less energetic. With such a foul mood, I probably am unable to induce a positive influence or impact on others. So ppl who need my help better stay away from me.
Another negative aspect of life tat came to my mind is on bgr relationship. There has been a lot of weddings going on this month. So wat if its a 'fairy tale' marriage? So wat if both parties are pious and serious in their spiritual cultivation? They still get themselves divorced eventually. Well, i am not trying to tease or jeer at the plight of my friends, but i m jus uncomfortable when ppl tend to paint too nice a picture on buddhist couples or buddhist marriage.
The church pastor at the wedding ceremony mentioned that marriage is a complete union of 2 individuals. After the marriage, both parties no longer behave individually, but act as a union. They shld live together and do everything together, with a single heart. Pardon me.. i m not against any religion but i have to disagree with him TOTALLY. In my view, thats rubbish. Such marriage will NOT last.
Love betw 2 persons shld just be the overlapping portion of 2 individual lives. It is the common area cum platform where both parties share similar views, interests and engaging in common activities. Other than that, they shld have their own life, portions that do not overlap but require mutual respect from both parties.
A pair of friends has divorced. Another pair has broken off. The 3rd pair is on the rocks. I wish all of them well and happy.
