    Random thought: Have been buying more jewellery lately. Must be having early onset mid-life crisis.

    Random thought: Your life is more or less determined in life.

    Random thought: One should always help the weak, poor, sick or anyone who need help?

    Yeah, it's the job the government. Government collects taxes and provides services to help them. It's important not to just give the fish, but teach them how to fish.

    Ah! I have that too! I am mostly non-reactive to screaming from an unreasonable person. I usually let them yell, then leave the room and the come back when they are in the mood to talk and reason. Most people tire out really quickly when the other person does not scream back.

    Don't worry. It will get better.

    Government should not give them cash. Government should provide program to help them back on track.

    Easier said than done. If the person is single and healthy, that's fine. More often than not, the person is old, weak, sick with family burdens.

    Why date the person when you dont even like him/her in the first place? Just because the person isn't physically attractive and that he/she likes you a lot, you feel bad so you give him/her a chance?!

    Makes me think, are there REALLY any DECENT PEOPLE in this world?

    All I see and hear are people only wanting sex and no relationship at all. The person would lead the other person on just to have sex and then drop him/her like nothing or not even claiming THAT person as his/her bf/gf due to fear of being ridicule/be seen by others JUST because of his/her physical flaws. REALLY?

    I think some people are just afraid of being alone. I know two people who dated because everyone else in the group had a partner. They lasted for a few years then broke up eventually as they could no longer stand each other. Then there are the people who want to feel wanted yet be scared of being hurt by diving deep in a serious relationship. So they think that a physical satisfaction is better than gambling emotions in a committed relationship. It is sad.

    Relationship is always strange. I knew of a case whereby the girl and guy actually do not like each other. The latter is interested in the former's best friend. The girl, being pretty and rich, simply does not understand why the normal guy does not like her. And yet, she is so persistent in insisting that the guy goes on dates with her.

    I agree. Nowadays, I see people rather have sex with multiple partners or one night stands rather than being in a relationship.

    Fiction: Bad guys ALWAYS punished in the end.

    Reality: Bad guys SOMETIMES punished in the end, but too often, never are.
