Pride

Pride.
Pride is something that despises arrogance.
Arrogance is not pride.
Arrogance is a disgrace.
Arrogance is something that blinds someone.
A warrior is defeated but stays on the battlefield.
That is arrogance.
A defeated warrior who returns to the battlefield.
That is pride.
One who is prideful will not disgrace himself.
He will not allow a person to see him defeated.
One who is arrogant will fight.
He will fight repeatedly till he dies.
That arrogance is hateful.
It hurts everyone related to that person.

One who has pride.
Knows when he has lost.
Knows when he is wrong.
However insists that he is right.
Arrogance is different.
It is the inability to accept that he was wrong.
It is the ignorance of what is right.

So, which are you?
Are you arrogant?
Are you prideful?
Or are you none?
Or are you both?

I am pride.
The one who understands the pride of a human.
The one who knows of the pride of a god.
The one who has the pride of a demon.
A demon worthy of the name given to it.

Diabolus.
The devil. Pride is a thing which lives in every creature. The pride a demon however, is different.
Creatures will remember to defend their pride.
The demon lives as his pride. if he is wrong, he will make the wrong become a right. Thus this pride is the very likeness of the pride of god? Wrong. It is much weaker. It pales in comparison to the pride of the creator. A demon only has the abilities to change the perception of people. A god however, has the abilities to create a whole new perception and label it as 'right'. That is why god is superior to the demon.

That hateful arrogance,
that unseemly pride.
A choice to dance an unsightly dance,
or sit and watch from the side.

Make your choice. One is arrogance, one is pride. Be wise.

If you choose to dance, you are arrogant. If you sit and watch, you are prideful.

Flee

Hope beyond hope,
Dreams beyond dreams.
Death after life,
Guilt after deed.

Regrets are aplenty,
Sadness is an inevitability.
Even if it were possible to cry,
It would be nothing but a lie.

If it is a burden to you, leave it behind. Don't cause yourself pain and suffering for no reason. Sometimes, its okay to run away. But you know what you have to face eventually.

Repentance

What is it that you all seek? What is the question that you all ask? What is the answer you all want to hear? What is it that you all are doing here? What is it that you have to do? What is it that you all want to do? What is it that you all hold dear? Why is it that I must be the one? Why is it that I am not the one? Why is it him? Why is it her? Why should I do this? Why can't I have this? Why can't I do that?

You all frequently ask the questions you know the answers to. Yet do you realy have the courage to answer it? To seek the answer within yourselves? To realize the meaning behind your every intention? To grasp the situation of your lives? To even question your own moral integrity and beliefs to realize that you all have the answers to what you seek just that you do not dare to answer them. You fear. That's right. You FEAR. To not be able to answer these questions because you fear that the answer might destroy your beliefs, destroy your trust. Break the bonds you have with each other. It is after all easier to admit that you are wrong than to admit that others are right. What can you do to escape this denial that you have? This everlasting fear in your hearts and minds.

Your worst enemy isn't the person you hate the most. It is your own heart and mind. Going against your own heart and mind would be going against your own beliefs and your own conscience. It is to break the sane reasoning you have lived your entire life with. I am always right for I am never wrong. You reason with your mind with this kind of saying. To go against your own will, to break this safety barrier in your mind. That is what is called having the courage to admit that others are right. To break this safety of reasoning is what is called repentance. To be able to admit that you were wrong, and to be able to change your ways because of your own realization that you were wrong. That is called repentance.

The fear you hold in your heart are equivalent to the amount of love you hold in your mind. The amount of love in your heart is equivalent to the amount of fear you have in your mind. Those who do not love have no fear. But there is no such man without love in this world. That much has been proven. For a man without love, will find no reason to stay alive in the harsh reality of this cruel world.

Belief

There are just three things for a human in this world that should never be taken away.
The body, the mind and the soul.
The body represents health.
The mind represents knowledge.
The soul represents belief.
A person needs to have something they believe in or there is something in them that is missing. If you don't believe in anything at all, you can't expect to be able to live in the harsh reality. To believe in something gives you the hope you need to live in the harsh and cruel reality that is the world right now. So a person who doesn't believe in anything is an extremely pitiful being...

There is no such truth that is governed by a single individual. The truth is only as powerful as the amount of people who belive in it. Even if you were able to reveal the truth, if no one is convinced, then that would be a lie to reality. The truth is something not an individual decides on but rather the masses. The truth can be bent out of shape and pioneered by others. The truth is never really always the truth. In reality, the truth that we know of may be false. A man may be lying but if there is a person who believes him, to that particular person, what the man said would be the truth. Just like when you say the truth, as long as people don't believe you, what you just told them would be a lie to them. I can say that I am able to predict the actions of man but you would say that it was all just a lie because you don't believe me. Such is the cruel and harsh reality these days. Information being true or false is really up to the person interpreting it. There is no real truth in this world. None.

Untitled

I'm confused... This is the first time I've been unable to type a post... I've failed to type this post for quite a while now... Well, I guess this post just isn't meant to be an ordinary one...

There is nothing that can't be replaced in this world.
Nothing but love that is.
And so we take advantage of this.
Then we look back into the past and imagine the future.
Trying to solve all the problems one by one.
Then we will certainly say things that we don't really mean.
We hunger for knowledge.
Striving to go past our limits.
Cherishing what we have.
And some people will eventually be made miserable.
Then you start asking yourself questions.
Then you make decisions.
While reading a book.
Then you fall asleep dreaming.
Realising new things.
While reminiscing about the past.
Suddenly you start to feel anxious,
then afraid.
You search for the perfect.
Bearing grudges along the way.
Ending up in a void.


If you find the meaning behind this post, congratulations. Tell me for I want to know who you are. The tagboard after all is open for use...

Void

A blank space. An empty area. A void.

Somewhere where nothing exists and where exists nothingness.

An empty shell. Nothing but a body with no soul or mind... Something devoid of life...


No human is devoid of emotion. No human is a void. Every human exists as a whole being for they are able to feel. They are able to experience emotions. They are able to smile, they are able to cry. They are able hate and they are able to be hated. They can fear and also be feared. Thus every human has emotions.

When it's time to be happy, go ahead and smile.
When it's time to be sad, go ahead and cry.
When it's time to be angry, go ahead and shout.
When its time to fear, go ahead and run.

Being able to feel is an ability of all living beings. Don't treat anything as if they are devoid of emotions. For they are not a void where nothing exists.

Grudge

If you make me hate something, that is still fine. But if you make me hate you, then don't expect me to have any other feelings for you. I feel no sympathy. I feel no pity. I have no obligations to. The only thing I feel is mercy. I am merciful. That is the only thing I have.


Hate is an emotion that is powerful.
Felt by many but controlled by none.
Hate is really hateful.
It causes blindness.
It causes pain.
There is none who can control it.
There is none who cannot feel it.
I remember the feeling.
The feeling where hate led me.
The feeling of revenge.
Is another thing to fear.
Revenge is never sweet.
It is metallic, slightly salty and definitely in red.
Revenge is the drawing of blood.
Blood is the essence of life.
The river that keeps you alive.
I have what you don't.
An affinity with it.

Blood is really delicious to a person like me. But to humans, it's disgusting.

Searching

"Where can I find it?! I've looked everywhere but I still can't find it?! Where is it hidden?! Where could I have not searched?!"

My dear disciple, have you indeed searched everywhere? Not just material places like that park over there, the village over the mountains and the houses by the lake. Have you searched for it everywhere that can contain it?

"I don't understand teacher, what are you talking about?"

How have you searched my dear disciple, what did you use to search for it?

"How else can I look if not with my eyes? How else can I move if not with my feet? How can I hear if not with my ears?!"

Have you tried searching with your heart? You misunderstand. Affection cannot be found with eyes, love cannot be approached, care cannot be heard. You won't find the person who you care for the most with just your eyes. Look into your heart and seek the answer. This is something I cannot help you with. Figure it out on your own. If you don't you'll never find out. I didn't teach you all these years so that you would fail this last mission. Go out there and live amongst humans as a human. Find the one who you will care for and protect that person. That is the only way you would ever be the greatest.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------





No matter how hard I tried, no matter how long I searched. Results were seen only few and far between. No human would become the greatest human in history. Their hearts are either too soft or too hard. They end up as power hungry fools or those that are not willing to sacrifice. This is why humans are not perfect. There is no perfect human that can understand this concept. Which is why to me, humans are inferior beings. Weak and unable to progress through evolution of the times and unite. Unable to come together in large groups without looking at another person in disgust or mantain a sense of awareness and respect towards those around him. It is an atmosphere where no one can be in for it will not happen. I don't think I will ever find satisfying results...

Fear

People used to live in constant fear. They are aware that their lives may be taken at any time. They know that their lives are in constant danger. And thus they live in fear of that. They learnt how to cherish every moment of life. How to value every friend. How to take care of every possession. How to groom every pet. How everything around them would never last forever and that they would soon be taken away from them.

Right now in this day and age, poeple live their lives so carefree. What they fear is not dying, but instead its the lack of money, lack of rescources, poor grades, looking uncool, being lousy at sports, that others are going to usurp their position. They learn to backstab, make fun of others, spread rumours, gossip, lie, steal, cheat, kill for their benefits. To them, money is everything. Without money, they would not be able to enjoy luxuries nor keep up with the trend and eventually become unhip or uncool.

This is the difference. The greatest difference. You could die right now to a terrorist attack, a bomb, a deadly virus, and many other life-threatening accidents. Yet, you ignore all of these facts and live life with just this one mentality: It cannot happen to me because I am safe right now. It will not happen to me because it just won't. These two statements occur in your sub-conscious minds. You can say whatever you want but you know the truth. Either that or you would be in self-denial.

I am not saying that you should be living your life in fear. But you should at the least acknowledge that these are facts and that they can happen. You are a fool to be fearing the wrong things. You are afraid of trivial matters that matter not. That is the biggest mistake of humans living in this day and age. The time of peace that we all live in right now has given you a sense of over-security. You think that you are protected but remember this! Humans are fragile beings. You can break their limbs easily. You can also break their mind easily.

Death is all around you. You can try to run away from it pretending that death is always chasing you around biding its time to strike. But you are wrong. Death is a part of life. Once your life ends, that is death. Death is within you on a fuse like a bomb. Once the fuse, which is life, reaches its end, the bomb will detonate leaving death in its wake. Death is always with you. It is a part of life. All will die one day. And all will come to regret the things he/she has done in life on that day.

But this fear can be overcome by any humans in their life.


But then, there is always one fear that cannot be overcome by anyone in the world. They will always fear, GOD.

A simple and short 500 word essay. I din't know what for but suddenly i wanted to write something and what I came up with was this. Fear.

Anxious

You worry for others all the time don't you?
I can tell.
Spending an hour with you is more than enough for me to know what kind of person you have become.
Somehow I think that you are just too selfless.
You make it seem as if it benefits you only as an afterthought.
"I mean, it's practically revision for me also what."
It has become clear that you place others before yourself.
You worry for others a lot.
You want to help those that you can.
You want to help them solve their problems.
But to me, you are the one with the most problems.
I guess my level of interpretation is actually quite different from anyone else's point of view.
But that doesn't bother me.
You hesitate thinking that you aren't doing something that is right.
You are afraid of making a wrong decision.
You don't want to leave people behind you.
You don't want to see people struggle through.
You want to see them progress and succeed.
But have you thought of how YOU are going to achieve YOUR success first?
Have you thought that maybe your actions may cause you to drop in standard?
Have you thought of all the repercussions that might occur?
(oh yes... mr tan just brought in a piece called repercussion didn't he?)
It's not that I think your views are shallow and your way of thinking is wrong.
It's just taht you have to know what's best for yourself before helping others.
If you can't solve your own problems first, achieve your achievements first, answer your own questions first, how are you going to be able to solve others' problems, help them attain their achievements and help them find the truth in the matter and still gain something from it?
Whatever I type is not to put you down, make you feel that you are wrong and you need to change or you will fail. That you have caused yet another soul to be troubled.
No. I just want you to think furthur into your actions and see what it has done for you. And take the path that you really want. The one which you think is right. I don't want you to be troubled by my words. Call them gibberish if you want to. But knowing you, you wouldn't. Don't spend more than an hour dwelling on this post if you ever read it! Hear me! It is my responsibility if my words cause an adverse effect on you.

While you worry about others, I worry about you, you know. Sometimes, it's troublesome to be able to interpret whatever people say and transform them into their feelings and emotions and then change it to words on paper. But, if I can't even help those who are near me, how can I ever attain my true dream... But it is really unattainable, this dream of mine... Don't ever think that you don't deserve to be selfish once in a while and think about yourself before you think for others. Other people can formulate their own opinions. But if you don't make you own, no one else can make your opinion for you. Every person changes according to the emotions and experiences that they have felt and gone through in life. That makes each and every person a unique individual...

Reminisce

All those experiences that we had gone through... All those times that we had shared... All of it has passed... Times of the past; its there...

What we need is a new beginning. To complete the ending. A new beginning signifies the end of an ending. And an ending signifies the start of a new beginning.

That is our world. Where the beginning and ending is the same. Its but a continuous cycle. When the moon rises at one part of the earth, it sets at another. When one leaves this world, another comes into it. There is no ending to this cycle. Not yet anyway. There are a plentiful of things to be questioned. There are plentiful things to be answered. But who knows which answers belong to which questions?

We face yet the end of another day, another month, another year. So we now lie back, take a drink and reminisce the memories that we had created. A whole year we have left behind; And a whole new year awaits us. We think of all our actions, our emotions. Experiences that are bitter and sad, experiences that are joyful, those that had made you mad. Think of all the hurt you had caused others. All the hurt others caused you. All that worry and all that pain. We leave behind yet again.

There is a new cause for us to live in this new year. There is a job we must fulfill. There is an answer we must attain. A new resolution to make. An old one to keep. And and older one to change. In this world where everything continues evolving and changing to adapt to the new surroundings, there is a need for us to change too. We cannot continue to stay how we are. We have to keep striving to achieve our dreams. We have to improve ourselves. Enhace our own abiities. We have to up our performance.

Another year has passed. A whole year of mistakes and success. Mistakes for us to learn from. Successes for us to improve upon. We have moved into another repeat of the same cycle. But more aware. More intelligent and more successful. Now we have to take what we have. And make it better. Push up our limits. And survive another year. A year where we can stumble through our lives picking up broken pieces, discovering more about yourself than you ever knew.

A human lives accross a certain lifespan. And throughout that lifespan is knowledge, experience and skills that the particular individual can acquire. However, decisions that the person makes, causes him/her to miss out some of those pieces. Therefore decreasing his efficiency level. The longer the person lives the more he can pick up. However there are more decisions that he has to make. Causing more of those pieces to be left behind.
So, we have to find the answers to the questions that causes us to make a certain decision so that we can make the better decision for how we want to live our lives.

We have this new year to make more decisions. To make the decisions which will affect your future. I hope you will make the better decision for your life so that all of this year can be put to good use.


So to end this off, I wish you all a very happy new year. Put effort in whatever you do and may you succeed.
