We Are Only Mammals

It has been awhile since I last wrote a long, depressing and whiny post.

And since it's only 10am and time is seemingly barely crawling by, what better to do ey? =)

Three relationship stuffs on my mind:
#1 The other half
#2 The desolate friend
#3 The sad side of the family

#1 The other half

Non-singledom is.. comforting. Nuff said, I gather.

But then comes the thought of where do these relationships bring us in the end? Some advise that there needs to be no end, and that what matters now is that you are enjoying it, living it.

But how can one invest in something if it does not bear fruit, and with that, how will we know if it will?

#2 The desolate friend

The suicidal and the depressed are aplenty in our circle these days. How do you handle them?

Do you just keep on trying, and trying, and trying..

When do you put your foot down? Do you put your foot down?

Are you selfish if you do?

#3 The sad side of the family

Victim : Male cousin
Age : About 14
Problem : Mother left, father's far from successful. Will be moving out with the father to stay in a rented room.
Experience: Abused by some other uncle during childhood, had to beg authorities not to cut off the water and electricity supply because his father didn't pay the bills.

The family has tried to help, but there is only so much we can do.

Or is it?

-------------

And all this boils down to one thing.

Selfishness.

We are selfish when we say we love but do not whole-heartedly.

We are selfish when we pretend we care, but don't. Not really.

We are selfish, because we are God-created animals;

Every brute for himself,

Holding on to his bone.
