~ 也是情歌 - Don't Doubt It! ~
昨晚竟然有人問我, 如果一首情歌它的感覺是屬於比較開朗的，節奏也是輕快點的, 是不是就沒有那些句句催淚的 love song 來的感人...
我本來想跟他說, 一首歌能不能夠讓人心裡有感覺, 是不能這樣就決定的, but in the end 我什麼都沒說, 因為我想他也是不會懂的.
It's strange, some people are just unable to comprehend the basic idea of having passion. I used to think that everyone was passionate, whether blatantly or subconsciously, maybe even knowing it but insecure by the powers of their own feelings. Not anymore though. I've come to realise that in this day and age, instead of being more open and comfortable with one's own feelings, people are actually closing in on themselves more, as if showing any emotion will make them look weak and inadequate.
The best you can get out of them is probably just raw, savage-like competitiveness, and of course, mind games and deception comes hand in hand with that. They pretend to be full of compassion and sensitivity, but after a while, you see through that pretentious facade. It's sad how they can go on in life that way, day after day. It must be mentally exhausting. In the end, you lose your own sense of self. In other words, they start to lose their way, their grip slackens, and they end up stuck in between being a two-faced clown, and a half-decent human being.
When you really pay attention, you'll see how many of these wretched souls are wandering amongst us. Sometimes you don't even have to look, when their expiry date comes, they will eventually present themselves to you, whether you like it or not. They don't anger me, and to be honest I cannot really bring myself to resent them either, because I see that kind of mentality and behaviour as a defect in which they have no control of. To say I pity them would be too condescending and definitely unfair, but I do feel a certain amount of helplessness and despair when I see what they've turned into, which I sometimes think is probably brought on by how they feel too, and the vibe they give off.
It feels like they are acting out because it's really their inner cry for help; a very typical diagnosis indeed, but it is only typical because most of the time, that is exactly the reason why. There really isn't much that anyone can do to help them, unless they themselves are willing to acknowledge the fact as well, and open to so called 'therapy'. Which in plain English means simply "open to a proper conversation and taking down your defenses."
唉... 說的比做的容易, 這個誰會不知道呢? 但是常常得應付這種人, 真的會把自己的腦袋瓜給累掛的! 還好樂觀的個性可以把很多有的沒的都看的淡一點, 不然就更慘了!
