Feels good to have cash in your pocket, enough to spend on something cheap, something expensive. The idea of shopping is no fun without xcess money

Prejudice comes easier than empathy. Prejudices give a sense of false pride...an ego boost nevertheless

Idea generation is the not the problem. Assessing, reassessing and rejecting your own ideas on your own in the hope of finding better ones is the catch, the difficulty

Only half the getaway is about the destination that you are going to...most of it is actually the roadtrip on the highway, without the traffic, speeding wheels...when you are actually getting away

Giving space to another, is also taking space for yourself and finding space for yourself

Good boy, bad boy

Saw this really really amazing film called terms of endearment...and Jack Nicholson's role in the movie triggered an interesting thought
The bad guys really lower your expectations so that they can give you more, so that they never end up disappointing you
The good guys are just too scared to admit that they have anything bad about them...so they pretend to be perfect...
Bad guys pretend to be bad and the good guys pretend to be good...Lets stick to the bad boys, I say!

If you find courage, it must be your heart. If you find control, it must be your mind

Fears, dogs and desires

I often wondered why fears so easily overpower desires..why they always manage to manifest without fail...why they are scare us more than our desires excite us
Its because we never accept, embrace our fears...our fears get jealous of our desires and smother them....they scream for your attention, I guess....
Like two kids that we have, one of which we end up liking more than the other!
We keep running away from our fears, without realising that we are running into them
Fears are like dogs on the street, the more you run away from them, the faster they chase you
Articulation is the beginning of acceptance...accepting your fears frees your desires, and your desires will give you the courage to face your fears...
In an ideal world

Dishonesty can happen at two levels..with awareness and without awareness..the one without awareness is an attempt to run away from your fears, its innocent because your not only being dishonest to others, but even yourself.
Dishonesty with awareness is playing a game with the world with a glint of mischief in your eyes

Addiction

Taming your tongue is like getting over an addiction...the biggest hurdle is the starting trouble, the inertia, the going too easy on yourself in the first few days, yielding to every instance of temptation, not being able to visualise the other side ...
