A few random thoughts -

Recently I've been thinking a lot about the concept of reciprocity, i.e. the concept of 'it takes two hands to clap'. In this world, it feels to me like everyone is treading the fine line between what's too much and what's too little; worrying too much about who cares about what; and all the other implications of their actions. Don't get me wrong, I would never do something that could/would be bad for another person, but when it comes to certain things, I'm a huge advocate of the philosophy of just closing your eyes and taking the leap. Having said that, how does one do something, say something, feel something without blowing it completely out of proportion? On the other hand, how does one do something, say something, and/or feel something and make it substantial enough to be significant?

I have always been and will always be a firm believer in the concept of reaping what you yourself sow, and that while fate may be predetermined, I'd like to believe that it has the flexibility to allow for sheer hard work, determination and dedication to chart a new course for it. Then again, I've also always been a hopeless optimist. No point in being anything less, right?

From my observations, I've realised that life always throws you a curveball when you least expect it. (Yes, a very American phrase, but so appropriate!) Sometimes for the worse, and sometimes for the better. But ultimately, even the worst things happen for a reason and fearing the consequences before even making your move means that life could end up being one tame (and boring!) roller-coaster ride.

What was it that they say is the spice of life? Variety? Idiocy? :p

And since, I've recently become quite fond of the word 'amalgamate', I will use it in a sentence in this post :) - This post is an amalgamation of some of the more prominent thoughts that have been going through my mind in the past week or so. Ok so maybe not the best use of the word, but hey, it works... somewhat...
