Came across this para while reading one of Paulo Coelho's book a few days ago:
When I'm with a group of people and I want to provoke them by asking that most important of questions - Are you happy? they all reply: "Yes I am."
Then I ask: "But don't you want more? Don't you want to keep on growing?" And they all reply: "Of course."
Then I say: "So you are not happy."
And they change the subject.
Such are we are today, deceiving ourselves that we are happy, satisfied, fulfilling others' expectations, fitting into roles others set for us.
Such as we are today, day-after-day convincing ourselves that this is we want, this is what is best for us.

It first started off with some random thoughts I wanted to blog about. Then I procrastinated and procrastinated until I have a whole pile of affairs to blog about, and finally I was just too lazy to do anything.
Will update when the mood sets in!
Meanwhile, in an unexpected twist of happenings, the infamous groping incident at Sentosa countdown party, the victim is not a "she"??
