Cogito ergo dolero

"It seemed that thinking about almost anything led to a dilemma, and where you had a dilemma you had this little pucker between the eyebrows."
- Kate Grenville, "The Idea of Perfection"

When faced with an inevitable predicament, there’s no need to brood over it. You stop thinking about it, you stop worrying about it. Why bother when you know there’s no way out? If u keep thinking, u might even see a false glimmer of hope. It’s more painful that way. And most of the conceivable solutions are bogged with problems themselves. So, it is better to think of ways to pump urself up, rather than cry over split milk.

Another thing, it’s indeed annoying when people try to meddle in your matters and try to show sympathy and stuff, when the truth is they hardly care. Even if they care, what’s the big deal? You will at most get a look of awe, surprise, disbelief, empathy, or perhaps, delight. What difference does it gonna make?

Life goes on, mate.

So you think we have meddle in your affairs and we are just showing sympathy without caring for you.

Good to know how you think about us.

There are quite a few ppl close to me who 'meddle' in my affairs and who care for me.. i know they do and i appreciate them.. if u slot urself alongside those who dont care, it's ur problem, not mine..
