This is a season of choosing and figuring out what's best to do and not. With much free time in
hand, I am given multiple options to fill my day.
PS 2, books, meeting up people, guitar, playing board games, fine tuning my voice....
Obviously I'm not doing anything too interesting, to the point I am writing a post like this.
What triggered this thought though is, really, in this time of having just TOO much time on my hands (okay, don't quote me on this), it's hard to choose what to do first. Anyone with good ideas on how to prioritize? Or rather, how to get my butt moving on the list on what needs to be done first? :)
P/S: Okay.... I admit, this is a filler post, while waiting to play board games... tum ti tum

choice
The greatest gift to mankind is choice, because without the power to choose, we are merely like robots or computers, only processing information, but never coming to a conclusion of what to do, only suggesting what may be done.
The whole conversation on choice, has brought me to think of certain examples of people I know. There are the ones who don't like to make any choices, or rather choose to not make any further choices, and then there are those, who choose to do everything and in their progress make it very obvious to be seen and known (the ones I'd like to call the extremist, whether be it the terrorist or the authoritarian).
It irks me that sometimes there we don't practice things like the black and white it can be, but to think about it, we can't, because we are humans, and for the same reason, we are given choice, we are made to be so unpredictable to each other. Everything else however should be somewhat made clear cut. The law, between good and bad, light and darkness, tasty and horrible.
Can we draw that same line for ourselves? Or we'd rather see a blur of a line so that we can jump over blameless, merely as the 'line was not to be seen'?
I am what I choose to be, and it's the same for everyone else. Not one person can say they were forced to out of a situation, because at the end of the day, to be honest, we all have to account for our own actions. We have freedom of choice, but let us truly understand the extent of our choice(s).

i'm back
Hiatus for a while...
now I'm back.
No. Not with a vengeance.
Truly it has been refreshing, to just take time off to gather thoughts and what not. As I continue to observe many things, I have learned lots. Indeed, it pays sometimes to just keep quiet and slip to the back, and watch what's really going on.
No, it's not an emo post.
After leaders retreat, I've gained even more insight on things.
I'd like to end this brief post with just one question:
What makes us who we are?

While everyone is starting new blogs, I'm going to go on a word/blog hiatus for now. Just need to gather thoughts.
