peace-loving...wherez the dove?

juz read some news stories over the asiaone website. the biggest one had 2 be the israeli PM being vy ill. i dunno the political turmoil in tat part of Middle East in detail but frm wat i read, he seems 2 hav done much 4 peace in tat region. i once saw a TV excerpt of a little palestinian boy watching his father being killed in front of him in a shootout. it shocks me tat while i'm living safely & nicely in my home, there r so much other more ppl suffering ard the world. i started 2 tin myself in the position of the little boy & shudders. no doubt there will be grief but will all this be the start of him harbouring hatred twds the 'enemy' & 1 day be embroiled in a shootout like them? revenge indeed.

i often wonder if i cld hav survived if u take me out of s'pore. much as i hate 2 admit, i'm such a spolit brat sometimes. the weather cun be too hot, cun walk too far...how abt those kids in Pakistan who had 2 battle the cold if not their lives, maybe already in shambles. i'm so ashamed of myself sometimes. wld i be strong enough 2 take all those battering? juz news tat a fren has got into kpmg & i had not even reci a call frm any of the big 4 kinda unsettles me...i started finding reasons when in the 1st place, i was saying i dun wan join them. guess i'm juz envious of her getting a job. it also spurns on me tat i'm not the job-seeker & most outstanding person out there. contradicting...since the nex mo when my boss' editing my resume, he says i dun sound confident & my resume & cover letter doesn't sell me. look, i'm trying 2 be humble but ya, therez really something wrong wif my CV...a chg has done it better. hope i'll get some calls =p

k...a bit out of point...i was juz also wondering tat itz said tat between love & hatred is juz a line, so once we cleared tat line, there will be peace? but during a lunch discussion, it was brought up tat all things r balanced, so tat means when therez love, hatred will be hovering somewhere too? then how do we achieve peace? it was also discussed y do ppl bother hating each other? quite true also, u get agitated (which might lead 2 unhappiness...who noes heart attack) whenever tat person's mentioned & 1 thing, r u sure he/she's the only one wif fault 4 wat had happened? but some ppl r really meant 2 be hated. their actions r totally intolerable. most of the time, i wld say i dislike the person. aft all, unless u r hard-hearted, u cun hate a thing 4 too long anyway & y bother wasting time & energy on hating? we shd be able 2 find better things 2 do. everything's easier said than done tho but if everyone cld be a little less selfish, put themselves in others' shoes b4 acting...maybe (i said maybe) we can get peace. i dunno y when contestants in beauty paegents is deemed hyprocritical or ran off the mill of ideas when they wan world peace? i believe there r ppl who genuinely wans it...looking ard watz happening in the world nowadays...i cun believe therez anyone who din tin of it but as usual, being human, u noe itz not gg 2 happen. no wonder nature r gathering their forces 2 get back at us. 2 fight ppl when they r most dis-united and they cun stand us anymore...sigh...they hate us, i suppose & i dun wan 2 argue abt this. we hav indeed done things we shd not and refuse 2 heed warnings.
