just spent the good part of the morning fighting fires ignited by the irrepressible energy of youth. nah that's just a euphemism for fucking teen self-absorption. this chap who has long depleted all his clemency-strikes decided yesterday to MIA again and here i am, covering his arse for the last time, short of declaring to all and sundry he had been abducted by alien life form.
got me thinking to why peeps behave this way in general. they know there's a pot-hole before them and they proceed to step into it. or they inflate every little setback into a colossal crisis only because it makes their lives more dramatically epic. to them, i say suck it the hell up and stop having a frickin martyr complex. in fact there are days i'm this close to tossing some hemlock into their pathetic little meals so that they will indeed get what they wish for. and the worse thing anyone can do is keep apologising for recalcitrant behaviour. or as i deadpanned to him, sorry is a poor excuse for failure.
yes we all have bad days, bad seasons even. but really when you pull back in introspective honesty, you will realise one certain thing. tomorrow is another day and every shitty moment shall pass. i spent a good year of my life mindfully reminding myself, even as our past or memories threaten to confound the clarity. ultimately each new day is a new you. each new moment is a new experience. and what remains constant is that true inner light which says, breathe, confront, embrace, be. it's really that simple. i wonder why we sometimes make it our mission in life to complicate things.
and i still subscribe to that simple mantra: more is less. amazingly that can apply to almost anything we do: our eating habits, sleep cycles, talk, thoughts, desires, needs.
so with that, i shall also have to come here to update less. irony much haha
