In this sophisticated world, one often finds oneself in a struggle with power, fame, money,
attention and many other unnecessary entities of life. I seek to find a simple life, uncomplicated
yet meaningful. A lot more important elements of life are waiting to be discovered. Live your life to the fullest.

Friendship
If you read today's Strait Times - Mind Your Body, you will come across an interesting article: Friendship can be a form of 'useful' love. How many kind of friendships are there? 1) Friendships based on utility, where we love people because they are useful 2) Friendship based on pleasure, where we love those whose company is pleasant 3) Perfect Friendship where we love the people for themselves, because we perceived them to be good. When I read this article, I was a bit caught off guard when I read the second reason. For pleasure? What kind of pleasure are you talking about? Lol. It was mentioned that if I love you because I want to get something from you, the person I really love is myself. How true indeed. This reminds me of a song: ... don't love me for fun, love me for a reason, love me for a reason, let the reason be love... It is hard to get perfect friendship I would say. Most of my friendship would fall under the second category. How about yours? Take some time to think about this and ask yourself how many friends you have whom you really like them for the way they are. TOP OF PAGE |
