from now on, i will mind my own business, go about my own day, take my cup of tea the way i like it. we're not victimised the way our minds set us up to think we are, but a compromise is made on our extended trajectory. No, that is not a mitigating alternative in any way, it absconds with your compass regardless. i tried to share my cookie with you but now i will have it myself

next on the agenda is that i am beginning to be more aware of superficiality, which continues to beleaguer our country's youths today (not to say the rest of the world's youths aren't afflicted) and it draws attention to what kind of a social script this would engender in the future. there are no doubts about people's over-achieving capabilities but the misappropriation takes root where the motivation stems from. Japan, always being a step ahead of us, probably encounterd this waylay before, in instances of the sarin gas attacks and other cults or cultures departing from the mainstream. seeing the comfort zone as increasingly uncomfortable

having said that, i think
skepticism is like a tumour. it grows.
it may be benign, localised, affecting only an isolated segment of your conscious and pronounced enough for easy removal. but it can also be malignant, possibly even encroaching on your subconscious. it is the viral repercussion of failure. Emotional chemotherapy would be active reflexive behaviour, where you tear your hair out and end up just as bald.

anyway
all that matters is today, essentially a reminder to recognise the importance of living in the present. it is ephemeral, it is transient. you must not let it slip by
如果不把它当成一回事，生活意义也就随它消歇
