There are bigger issues in life than nursing a broken heart.
Stuff like the global warming, terrorism, the Indonesian haze, declining birth rates and what not, are much significant then just,
“You don’t reciprocate the love I have for you… Boo Hoo…”

The 4 issues I mentioned are related interdependently.
They are all differently similar.

For instance, 2 decades ago, Singapore has no “Declining Birth Rate” problem. The people back then were at it like rabbits. So much so that, “Inclining Birth Rate” was a problem, a major one. Due to the fact that there were less stress and tension, people have more time on their hands.

These days, people have double amount of work for half the salary. The long hours they have to put in, the lethargy after getting home and your body gets out of shape with the lack of exercise, which turn into fats and turns your partner off.

Stress is not a bad thing at all. In fact, it is required for some people as a catalyst. Humans who lack motivation are often driven by stress. And I believe that the most successful people are, more often than not, thrive on stress.

The common denominator here is “Stress”.
It’s a double-edged weapon.

The Indonesian Haze, which in turn causes Global Warming, possesses similar traits as the “Birth Rate” problem. The farmers would be stressed to work their ass off to grow and harvest more crops to bring rice to the table that they actually burn the forests to make more land for farming.
(Please note that the Rice Farmers would bring other stuff that they don’t produce)

Terrorism wraps it all up.
The inevitable struggle of men undermines the progress of mankind. Everyday you’re greeted by peaceful sunshine. Everyone paints a smile on their faces. Yet, how many are actually smiling?

People with “power” often get besieged by it. The ability to dictate and manipulate the lives of billions gets so overwhelming, that it actually stresses you out.

Fame and Fortune are mere vices.
Humans are its tools and devices.
Will paper worth more than ores, diamonds and that precious gem?
Will the world see another sunrise before it faces the very end?
Go figure

Sometimes “Closures” don’t happen the way you want it to. The seams, once sewn taut, are now agape. They’re calling for amendments. But for now, it doesn’t really matter.

I presumed a birthday greeting would be just that, nothing more.
There are no emotions in text messages but you might feel some with this one:

“Happy Birthday… Take care…”
“Thank you. By the way, may I know who this is…?”

I didn’t put up this post until a couple of days later.

More often than not, there won’t be any closures. Shit happens but life still goes on.

Seems like this was just a “phase” for her

The blessed union of two souls
Declared by a false prophet.
The binding of hearts became none
Ever since forever, it’s all been said and done

The lion has no pride and honor
When you shaved off its mane
Clone my heart once again
To relieve it from its prison of pain

Joy and jubilation
Frustration and depression
Forgotten wishes and eradicated dreams
this was all nothing as it seemed

Exiled into the forest
Living with bears, she might be.
Her life, now, means nothing more
than the ant on the snow covered tree.
Arrivederci... "May God be with ye"
