The paranoids
We are paranoids.
Well, most of us are paranoids. While certain degree of caution is
needed for us to keeping on going and obviously to live in today’s
world, I don’t think its necessary of us to be suspicious of every
human being or every single thing we see.
When the a Gerakan member decided to take a job offer from a DAP-lead
state government, he came under the fire from his party. He was seen as
a person who betrayed his party but he only asked for them to see
beyond the party flag. He was chosen because he was the man for that
job and he was trusted even by an opponent party. But his own people
(so to speak) failed to see this and of course, eventually he resigned
from the party. In the end, his own party lost a credible person just
because they feel he is someone else’s payroll.
This is not only confined to politics but even to our daily affairs as well:
- Imagine being suspicious of your mechanic.. did he actually fix the car brake properly?
- Imagine being suspicious of your rival neighbor’s 5 year old daughter befriending your son.. what is this girl trying to do to my son?
- Imagine being suspicious of the vegetable seller at the pasar malam.. did he spray excessive pesticides on these?
- Imagine being suspicious of your MP whom you (and your entirely family) unanimously voted for… he is on a deal with the opposition?
I can go on and on with this list. But let me ask if you if such
paranoid thinking would give you a peace of mind? It won’t, and why
would we want to subject ourselves to such mental agony? At times, we
just have to trust people. Yes, we have to carefully analyze the
situation and be prepared with a Plan B. That’s all it takes.
Anyone can ask questions, but it takes a genuine person to answer it
truthfully. And when one does, it is only wise to accept it with a
little cautious.
Song: Pulveli Movie: Aasai
to the nature. So beautifully captured and exactly what I need to watch
right now. Doesn’t matter if you can’t understand a word of Tamil,
Suvalakmi, the music and the scenes are enough to mesmerize you.
Sorry if I sound a little random today. Blurting out things as I feel. Have a good weekend everyone!
