A big THANKS to those who understand

Recently i was in another one of my contemplative moods, brooding over some silly incident with a friend of mine, when i thought....

"If only men (and women...oh yes!) worked like walkie-talkies!"...as in, if men were unable to speak whilst being spoken to, half the quarrels and fights of the world wouldnt have occured. I guess Pride, Jealousy, Prejudice, Arrogance...all these human traits that are so deeply ingrained in any human...just prevent man from calmly listening to someone else's point of view before hammering his own point home.

Why do we have this inate desire to prove ourselves right!?....I have been in contact with such people in my life that at times i felt it impossible to explain a situation to them. These people are so deeply absorbed by the quicksand of pride that they just fail to accept that they may be wrong!!...but then what makes me so sure that i was right in the first place!?...maybe i am no better myself...heck, i AM no better.

All i know is it is good to have friends that you dont have to explain yourself to, they understand, they hang around for you to explain, and even if you dont, they forgive...i am lucky i have a few of those...

CRITICAL EXCEPTION: Infinite loop

After a long time i decided to post an article in here. I decided to keep it short and sweet...but heartfelt...

Step 1. Why did our father work hard at his job?
...so that he could give us the best education money can buy

Step 2. Why did we want the best education money can buy?
...so that we do well and get good grades in school

Step 3. Why did we strive hard to get good grades in school?
...so that we can get into a good college

Step 4. Why did we want to get into a good college?
...so that we can get a good job in a good company

Step 5. Why did we want to get into a good company with a good job?
...so that we can get our kids the best education money can buy

Step 6. repeat from step 1.
