I know I know. I've been neglecting my blog for nearly a month. I'm surrounded by people who never fail to remind me especially this one particular person who writes about sofa beds and tables. I have truly tried to write a post. But everytime I log into my account and open up the post page, my fingers fail to fly across the keyboard to type about my day. I thought I was uninspired but the past month has been filled with a thousand activities that deserve to be written about. And then it hit me, I was just living life and the words that were intended to fill up the pages of my blog were being used to speak with others.
I suppose I don't make any sense with that last sentence but let me explain myself. I tend to write about topics that interest me or write about my day or simply state down realizations I've had. The past month has made it hard for me to do so because the level of interaction I have been having with the people around me has increased. Instead of typing about my day, I tend to talk to other people about it. And more importantly, instead of writing my opinions about things that have happened, I've been providing advice.
My advises are nor born of wisdom like those wise men you see giving one liners with a hidden smirk in their eyes. No. Mine are born of logic, simple thought processes that lead you to the decision one has to make.
So why then am I now typing a post? Because my advice, though given, has not been followed by some. I'm not some priest or saint for my advice to be followed but when I give it, I give it as a friend and I don't shove it down someone's throat. It's an option I give. I try to let them now the logical point of view. So if one chooses to follow it or not, it's their choice. But I hate it when someone listens with intent, asks more questions, pretends to want to change, shows concern for the wrong moves he/she is making but ultimately does nothing to change it. And to make things worse, end up performing more actions that just makes the hole deeper. And when that person falls into it, he/she has no one else to blame but themselves. But, they tend to blame others instead.
I get agitated because there was a logical route to take! It was a simple choice. But people fail to see this. Some people I mean. Why complicate matters? To make one look good? Is it like a lie? You know, one lie triggers another and hence another and evantually it all spirals into one complicated web of lies to protect one's image?
Advice is born of two things; wisdom and logic. Wisdom comes from those who have lived longer, gone through experience and made right and wrong choices. Sadly, it's the truth. Age does lend you wisdom. Logic on the other hand, is born from the mind. Logical thinking can even be better seen in the mind of a ten year old child as compared to his 25 year old counterpart. Logical thinking sees the shortest and simplest route one can take to solve the situation as quick as possible. Sadly, not many have it and not many attain it. They are too content in living in their little bubble where they stand still while the world moves ahead of them. Everything that happens to them is a result of other people's actions and when something goes wrong, they blame the world when they should blame themselves for not taking the initiative to have changed it all.
I know I 'm ranting. And this is probably one post only I'll get but if even one person understands the words I've spewed forth, I suppose this post has been useful.
Don't worry, I'll write something of more interest soon enough : )
