    // November 26th, 2009

    As humans, we have basic needs – air to breathe, water to keep our bodily functions working, food to give us energy, etc. Once we figured out how to get the basics, we work on figuring out what’s next. At some point in time, human began to think about fire. Fire lead to cooked meals. Cooked meals led to many other things.

    The point is… Once we get what we are looking for, we move on, to something that we want. The want becomes a need. The need is sometimes in the form of invention or it can be as simple as friendship. As we evolve, our needs evolve as well. Our needs get bigger and bigger. It’s not supposed to stop.

    Being Hypocritical with Maybes

    // November 1st, 2009

    Many people including myself don’t realize how much of a hypocrite we are. We know and hate the things that bother us but yet we find reasons and justifications to tell ourselves that what we’re doing is different. And that is okay. I do hope that someone somewhere would remind me if I’m out of line when I am.

    But then again, is it just being human that there’s no real black and white approach to things? Everything is okay, with the exception that sometimes, there are just maybes that will make it okay to do things a little differently. Should everything have a maybe? Maybe… (puns intended).
