so this is what it is all about, the meaning of life, is that we try to discover ourselves through other people. It is like a journey where we are trying to find something or someone, it is perpetuated by desire, by the need to attain endless goals.
not long ago, i was invited by a friend to join this friendster network , which shows just how everyone you know is in one way or another linked together. I guess that's the way humanity is; few people if any, go outside the circle that they are born in.
in friendster, among one of the people i know of but yet i do not know, this caught my eye:
"XZ needs his space, as most Aquarians do; but fundamentally he is generous, kind and keenly perceptive. For as long as I've known him he's been the same chap (in a good way), true to himself. He seems to have problems expressing his thoughts at times but I am guessing this stems from the high levels of abstraction at which his mind functions.
I dun understand wat XZ is saying lor... but here a guy who's great at the guitar although he has this nasty habit of changing song halfway. He also has this reflex thing when people touch him...so beware!"
my first reaction when i read that reflex thing is: gosh what a weird guy!
then it occured to me that the whole talk about personal space sounds very familiar, in fact it sounds like what i'd think of myself. though i dun elbow my friends when they sit too close, it's much more evident with my loved ones. i d always sit in one corner, request that other people sit far far away in such a way that we ll not be touching each other. yeah i dunno why i hate prolonged physical contact, maybe cos i m just a spoilt brat used to having too much space. i sure dunno why this guy has the same phobia, but i dun haf a reason for my own behavior, psychological problem i guess, but who's to determine that it is abnormal? good to know that i m not the only weirdo ard.
yeah the abstract thoughts bi is also intriguing. i have a difficulty making my thoughts understood at times, sometimes my weird thoughts just puts pple off or they just shrug and think i m talking in m native tongue (which is b216ish translated in earthian language as "gibberish')
yeah in short, i see a bit of myself in this person.
