Discussing mr. shadowmode's > post
To quote, fran lebowitz...
IMHO he thinks that all of you are "good gentleman" (or Great People...i might differ, but that's just the lesser part of me talking).
but "we let the lesser part of us take over our lives" (and becomes small people)
1. anonymity could cause that. the low risk or impact to own "face" is abused.
2. in the other party's case it could be for vengeance because of being victimized ...calling for a fightback.(but i do agree that he could've done better)
i have all along cautioned against this... in the words of ye ol newsgroup..
please don't feed the *troll!
(*okay... sorry shadowmode, im gonna call a spade.. a spade and not a good gentlespade)
p.s the comments in reaction to this post will point out the techniques and traits as shown in the picture above. please observe and count how many below. i saw a few already :P
Our joys will be greater
Our love will be deeper
Our lives will be fuller
Because we shared your moment
goodbye Uncle SG.

this guy did the most amazing of things to most of us, but to him he is just doing what needed to survive...to continue living...similarly we all are trying our best to continue living..to survive figuratively/metaphorically and if unlucky, sometimes literally...
only the strong survives you say? no, this situation is not about the strong. it is about the most calm headed of us all. strong he maybe, he shall not survive if he was panicking.
“I had to be calm. With my back against the waves, I kept kicking and kicking. The direction of the current told me I was in the right direction. I also had a compass.”
keep calm and keep on kicking : this is one of the most useful philosophy you could get.
right direction and compas : knowledge. know what you're doing and where you're going
“Early on I let go of all the heavy things, tanks, weights and all. I rested for about three to five minutes a couple of times. If I had fallen asleep, I think I would have died. I drank some sea water. You’re not supposed to do that, but I had no choice. I was too thirsty.”
drop your heavy things : drop your negativity, it shall drag us down
a story to guide and inspire us all..
especially me,
...since i don't even know how to swim at all! lol.
