my shadow is lighter

To light a light, it to cast a shadow…
It is inevitable that when you wanna be something good or do something right, you might end up being partially bad or did something bad somehow in the process.
Each of us grow up knowing this world from one side or another. Some think that the world is good, while others think that the world is bad. But I found something else. It is called, the condition.
People do a lot of things because the conditions allow them to. Each of the feelings can be tested. You say you love somebody, that is because the conditions were arranged that there is only one person for you to love, and that only happens if that person loves you back. IF the condition is that you have a lot of people to love, and everybody love you back just as much, then you will have problem loving only one.
People think that they have strong principles. But the principles are often untested. You say that you would not do this or that, or you would do this or that when you face with that condition, but those statements are unproven. How can one knows what to do when he/she didn’t experience it first hand?
If a cup of water is put in front of you, added with sugar, salt, pepper,vinegar and another 5 unknown ingredients. Before drinking it, will you say that the water is sweet? or perhaps sour? or salty? Will you be able to say that you will only taste sweet when you drink it? or only sour?
Most of the time, only the one who stood, and experience that condition, is worthy to talk about their principles and experience. Because their principles are tested. Hypothesis is proven. And thus, only those people, have the rights to tell you that ‘I told you so!’

If a cup of water is put in front of me, added with sugar, salt, pepper,vinegar and another 5 unknown ingredients. Before drinking it, i would say that the water would taste weird.. therefore, i wouldn’t drink it! :P
but i guess, condition, or the world that surrounds a person, the environment, plays a role in shaping a person, in influencing a person, in well ‘conditioning’ a person… but when everything goes wrong, it’s good to have values to fall back on… to have hope, faith and love.. things that cannot be measured, seen or judged upon.. oh well.. life goes on~

As we grow older, we will recognize the ugly side of the world and once you know (or you think you do) the truth about the world, your perspective and life would never be the same again.
Anyway, don’t really get your whole idea in this post but I have debated with some of my friends the possibility of a guy loving more than just 1 woman, maybe I should blog about the arguments in more detail, hehe :)
