i dunno.. am i too harsh, terse in the way i convey a message.. go down too hard on people. why do i even bother to feel worried.. or bother to let myself fall to frustration even feel stressed over it. when in actual fact, the person concerned does not see the need, or realise the implications, or have yet to consider and ponder on priorities. sounds like parenthood eh. parents worrying over their kid's education, and get distressed when they realise their kids are not taking it all seriously enough. when in fact, all their nagging, and heartache doesn't benefit themselves one bit. and yet kids hit back in spite and hatred, cursing and swearing that their parents are but jits that do not know what it is like to have fun - boring, lifeless people that do not understand the meaning of youth. a lie that is, if u said parents do not know what it is like to be a teen. but they know better than allowing their foolhardy kids run off, without the due discipline they need.

maybe its the lost of drive. the want to do well, the desire the compete to achieve, to be accomplished is all but lost, all but non-existent. goes without saying, that such a situation would be critical, and a person that isn't driven, is a person that would eventually lose self-worth and the respect for himself. of which, is just a step away from depression and a emotional breakdown. without the due encourage, and support from close friends and partners, it would still really take sheer determination to pull oneself out, and relish the wist for excellence once again. and the rest of us that fortunately still habour this drive, would have the responsibility of rendering that support, to give that word of encouragement and the assurance that he has what it takes to reap the rewards.

then again, it may be that, one is deluded and have been nurtured by the environment he is exposed to, that play down the importance of certain aspects of life that may be seen as turning points in life that is down-right crucial. resulting in muddled priorities that he himself may believe to be appropriate and model.

but to contradict every single thing i just blogged about, it could just be me. me myself that's having muddled priorities.. playing up the importance of certain things that may seem microscopic to others. and that brings me back to the beginning. and as i question my own set of priorities, it makes me reluctant to voice out, as maybe just maybe, the other side of me could have been right. that i'm being too harsh.. too imposing, and my advice being absolutely irrelevant, and not the least bit beneficial to anyone.
