recent events hav been a cause for some alarm in der region..wat with der New Delhi Terror attacks, birdflu penetration thruout e world n even the rise of China vis-a-vis the traditional role of the US as protector of Asia since WW2...
a scary place the world can be these days as alarmist sentiments arise and new n old diseases chase round the globe from pole to pole...it can be pretty overwhelmin for e average man-in-der-street..
i think we all ought to sit back n take a breath of fresh air n take stock of wats happenin n put everythin in perspective...the world's never been a nice place since God-knows-when; its just dat every generation faces its share of troubles we think is the worst..its not actualli..
wat can i say? mayb Singaporeans should not go at such a breakneck pace thru life..we just might be able to enjoy der finer things of life...mayb we should all not be so obsessed with material success n human recognition...it just might make possible a more satisfied n fulfilled existence..
as for disease n terror, bein on guard is great but lets not adopt a siege mentality where everyone's suspicious of their neighbour n narrow-minded about the outside world thru fear n bigotry..to engage n be open inspite of safeguards is the surest way of defeatin the ideology of Terror n the most effective way of sharin the resources that can beat the spread of disease
to combat the troubles of this age will take more than a day, feel good rallies or even military n medical action...but it starts by not takin ourselves too seriousli yet not givin in to complacency...also by re-evaluatin our prorities in life n becomin more open to people n change...so next time someone coughs in der lift, dun turn away...try offerin a tissue..
