The way we See things

I have been going through a major crisis if I can call it that really...For some people it can be earth-shattering for some it is as ordinary as thunder preceding lightning during a thunderstorm. Thunderstorms themselves are regular occurrence unless you live somewhere where there is high concentration of collision of warm moist air with cooler air. Still, like everything in life, the cliche that things happen for a reason is often true in my case.

Maybe this is the reason why I don't bother anymore with self-pity. I don't like self-pity because it is a counter-productive emotion. I have long abandon the melodrama of raising my hands in the air and silently questioning the Divine, "why does this have to happen to me?!"

I think this is also the reason that God invented the emotion called numbness... I have fought back tears like I would fight a 6'0" opponent in a judo match. I fight with all the energy I can muster not giving a damn about the consequences. My aunt said my uncanny ability to suppress my emotions are somewhat scary and very unhealthy... I call it self-preservation.

It still boils down on how we see things I believe. The Surreal can be ordinary and the mundane can be fantastic, it is all about perspective.
