Once, Imperfect.
Sunday, May 29, 2011
Recently had a spur of initiative to do things I normally (or perhaps abnormally :/) wont do; that includes getting my own meals, or taking a walk outside my four walls. Got me thinking though.The irony of independence versus worthlessness. We all have a need to be needed, appreciated, something I believe is part of the purpose of interaction between humans. In a mixture of independence and teamwork, we execute task daily, varying between the both.While some members have a drive of independence, others may develop a dependency on others. For us, ridding of over-reliant people, some might dislike it, while others have a altruistic benefit for another. Yet the irony occurs when the dependence is weaned off and the initial helper is left feeling redundant. Watching someone whom you know was once reliant, overcoming and developing self-sustainance, slowly to move on with their individual lives, no longer needing you. Parents, friends and sometimes, people who care.There should be a equilibrium of interdependence, but as society goes, the system of interdependence declines. In a culture of individualistic self-reliance, people work towards an idealization of perfection through the self. Neither is society accepting towards those who give openness a chance. Striking at where they're most vulnerable, a cycle of vicious hurts affects the dynamics between those who try, and those who hurt.Persevere, for those who try. Believe, for those who hurt. Understand, for those who are strong. Let go, for those who are weak. We need to come together, to think beyond ourselves, our own achievements, for a world of unity. Help each other, slow down and give way. No one was born perfect, and let us not forget that we were once, helpless and pathetic beings, till someone came and gave up for us.Labels: thoughts
Darren Nico Pillai
Not-so-average teen, deep thinker, perfectionist with quirky randomness. Trained in the art of sarcasm and nonsensical logic.
Overcoming the circumstances of the present, and the issues of my past,
striving in self-betterment with a moral balance with the hope of the fulfillment of the destiny to be a light for Christ in His likeness,
spreading the love of God as how He first loved us
==============================================================
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Heal my heart and make it clean
Open up my eyes to the things unseen
Show me how to love like You have loved me
Break my heart for what breaks Yours
Everything I am, for Your kingdom's cause
As I walk from earth into eternity
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Philosophy:
I like to think about life, especially pursuing on the concept of love. Not that lovey dovey romantic kind, but the affections we have for one another
that ties us together,strangers, friends, besties, family, that's the love I wanna know about. Love is the essence of life that ties us together,
love is what we were made for and to be, love is embracing the gift of the relationship with GOD.
