It is well over the promos period, everybody has been relaxed. Lessons are light and takeable (even pon-able).
I think that how one feels is totally different from others. In actual fact, how one feels is dependent on others. How your days go depends on the events and the attitude you take towards it.
Recently a friend of mine was heartbroken. I knew him for close to 9 years. Same primary school, same secondary school and the same Junior College. We lived in the same neighbourhood, our houses a few blocks away. His house was mine, my house was his. Everyday we would lame each other through msn, cracking jokes one would never think of unless being stuck with someone so lame. So i could say i knew almost everything abt him. Well, one particular Monday, he was so sad i could not find anything to describe it. A bright cheerful "yoyo!! =D" was replied with a remote silence. His nick, "an eternal sorrow, not letting u noe."
For that moment i knew what was troubling him, relationships. And for that entire day, he was not crapping his usual way. He was totally quiet, shunning from the online games we used to play. He entirely cut himself off from everything. We group invited him to ask his dilemna a few times. BUt he quit the same amount of times. On Tuesday, we went to sch together. A familiar serenity seemed to fill the whole journey. No words. Just actions of concern. Then it was time to assemble. We stood up and headed to the flag pole area. The same old familiar silence. I was scared, not to be able to do anything for him. He seemed so sad that i do not even want to remind him by asking whats the problem. I believe that when one is sad, he will find a way to fade away from reality by ignoring everything around him. So all i could do was to lend him my presence.
On Wed, he resumed to normal. I was overjoyed. So much for worrying.
Therefore i believe that how u feel depends on other people. When your friends are sad, i do not see the reason why u can be dancing in joy. From this experience, i have learnt that everybody has a reason to be sad. Everybody can be sad. However, everybody can also decide whether he wants to be sad in the first place. If u are sad, ur frenz are the first to be affected. Then they will in turn affect their frenz. This non-stop chain affects everyone. Though sometimes it is definite to be sad, do not let it affect other people. Contain it.
Friends are your everyday interactive subjects. Influence is therefore imminent/emminent. (my eng sux)
Relationships can drown a person or lift u up to the skies. However, the degree of hurt or happiness is decided by the individual. I salute my friend. He overcomed it in 1 day. I took half a year. To me, he is a senior with superior EQ.
Do not drown in your sorrows, do not fret over thin air. It is worthless.
