Raising Issues

I was taking a shower when it dawned onto me. Raising a girl has a heavy cost load on parents than it does boys.

I'm a girl myself but just as I see, where in a house of 4 women and 1 man, the women spend more. Firstly, thanks to the almighty above us, women have to go through omething we call a 'Period'. During that 5 to 7 days period, we are wasting money on pads and tampons (for the guys reading this, if you dunno what a tampon is for, go look out at the stores... its good to stop a nose bleed). In these days of depression, we have to get something to help soothe the pain of cramps and the uprising fustrations caused by mood swings. That's when a good tub of ice- cream (for me) or lots of chocolate come in play. Again, money is spent.

Well, the guys have it better, they dun have something called the 'Period'. In fact they have it so much better cos all they have are 'wet dreams' (I would say that is eqiuvelent to our periods. And guys, a word of advise, if you do sports keep off steriods and shirts with lots of holes, they cause more consistency to wet dreams). Oh and a point to note, its more troublesome to change the sheets everytime they have a wet dream then to just throw a tampon away.

Next, girls, we need to care for our skin so much, a trip to a make up & beauty counter could easily rip us of a hundred r so dollars? I dunno, you do your side of the maths. I know this doesn't work for many... but hey its something most of us do invest in.

Befor you say I;m sexist, I know men are equally picky about themselves of late. But in Singapore, that is a small population which may take a while to cultivate and nuture into budding new plants... ok that was lame and uncalled for.

Thirdly, we women, have to buy more clothes than the men. Take our undies for example. We have to wear 2 pieces and the men only need 1. Some just need 2 pieces to get through the week. DISGUSTING!
Anyway, what the men wear underneath doesn't matter, but what a women wear does. If we wear something dark under a white shirt, people start to bitch. Men & women bitch about this... this is so unfair.
Lets' ignore that. But the clothes we buy are generally more than men. Take ehis for example. We wear different clothes everyday to make ourselves presentable, but some men (like my dad) can wear the same type of clothes bought in the dozens everyday and no one would say a word. Whereas women can't do that. People will think that we didn't go home to change and was spending the night out or something, you know what I mean.

Well I'll leave it as that for now... will try to think of more things. Hahaha but parents, rest assure that you have made a great investment in getting a girl over a boy.

Pondering at 'I'

As I ponder through, I find that the letter ‘I’ can’t seem to escape from our chains of thoughts… with every sentence and with every word that comes out of our mouths; ‘I’ is always there. Without ‘I’, it seems as if we cannot recognize ourselves, we do not exist.

As if played around by unseen forces, we Humans or maybe even for that matter animals, care for ourselves more then we do of others.

The person, who once said ‘Survival of the fittest’, was bound to be one of such person. It is true that every man is for himself, but what happens to those who have no idea what the letter ‘I’ means? Or is it something that does not need to be taught to be learnt? Just like some animals are. A butterfly does not need to be taught how to break open from a cocoon in its need to transform into what it will finally be.

What would this World be if the letter ‘I’ did not exist? Would the World be more gracious? Or rather, would Man be more gracious?

In that time to come, it would most probably be a time where Man was entirely wiped out and reborn onto this Earth. But by then, a new term would be given in order to address one self.

A vicious cycle that can never end simply at where it took its foot off, one way or another, something else is bound to sprout into another that lead Man back to what they have done in order to destroy themselves in the first place.

The destruction of Man is brought upon by his own mistakes, who has ever tried to correct them in order to turn a juvenile into a modest adult? Many tried but they become myths and legends or those who tried, tried but died and yet again in the hands of their own people, MAN…

A CrIsis

Life is never as it seems as it may be, we often take everything for granted... I think many people, great or not, have said things of similar thoughts. It isn't surprising.
Because no matter how many people said it, no matter who said it, or when it was said, we as Humans still take, not many, but all things in life for granted...

Thinking if Adam and Eve had not been out of the hands of God, and stayed the way they were in Eden, would there be mankind? What differences would have been made? Would the World stay in peace, where war was not an issue, pollution was not harming Humans and all Animals and natural disasters would just stay the way they were?

After giving much thoughts, why had Adam and Eve taken the forbidden fruit? Was it truly out of curiosity? Was it the Devil that had made them do so? Or was it a plan made by the all mighty GOD? Had He have foreseen that they would one day take the poisonous fruit and be banned from the comforts of Eden?

This leads to another question... Who is the Devil? When Worlds were created and GOD was born, had the DEVIL been an alter ego of GOD? Or were they like the ANGELS Michael and Lucifer? Born together but never to be together, always a World apart.

One thought leads to another, for all these thoughts, is there anyone who could answer them? For Man believe in these Gods, be it Buddish, Christian, Catholic, Taoist and many more other religions, who would have the answers to so many of my questions to the World? Who could possibly understand what it feels like to have questions after questions pondering through your mind and not drive you crazy...

That I leave for you to decide...
