if life were a bed of roses
i'd be the thorn
if the world resided in me
i wish i'd never been born
if my cake was of smiles
i'd walk that many miles
if hunger could be averted
i would rather be avoided
if the world were to end one day
i dunno.. what would you say?
if i were to be left to die
the world would just sigh...
yeah..i'm not really up to saying anything..i just feel as though every inch of me has undergone some sort of depressing course or something.. my legs hurt, my hands feel as though they're about to drop off, back aches like shit.. and i've got a running nose.. dang.. i'm really whining.. Pathetic.. anyway..
was reading a biography on Mahatma Gandhi by Louis Fischer. it's pretty okay.. except that i didn't really agree with what Gandhi unwittingly imposed on his family.. renoucing them and taking a vow of celibacy when he only in his thirties. if you really want the nation to be happy.. well, aren't members of your family members of the nation too? i might be naive and ignorant on this since i haven't met the man himself or had his experiences.. but i just didn't think it was right of Gandhi to neglect his family. There is this chapter in the book where it says that Gandhi dabbled in eating meat and smoking although his religion expressively forbade it. i suppose it could called a rebellious spirit as the author does mention but i feel as though Gandhi just wished to see the consequence of his actions.. gain a bit of human reaction and propose his next step. playing with untouchables or pariah was also one of the things he did..
at the end of the day though,nobody is perfect and whatever Gandhi did has my fullest admiration and awe.
