Hope

I've heard of the blog quite sometime back and did'nt really go into it like I did today. While the blog are used by millions of people for various reasons and objectives, I find it most sad to read postings from younger people who expressed their emotions, for the world to see, in the crudest way with unreserved vulgarity in the open. Nevertheless, I thought that technology has provided avenues for educated younger generation to release their frustration and anger in such form and get on with their lives. That is a good thing too!.

However, I hope their "inappropriate" postings at the time of anguish and immaturity could be re-visit and ammended at an approriate time to reflect their true feelings in a more dignified form and language for the world to see. The true writings of a personal diary written in a dignified manner could also serve as lessons for others to learn.

I feel that our behaviours and mindsets are very much influenced by our surroundings; the people we interact with, the places we are in and in this computer age, the websites we visited too mould our thinking and how we respond or react to situation. Because these things change daily, weekly, monthly or yearly we can expect not to be constant in the way we behave and think. I sometimes have regrets of things that I did in the past. But life goes on and I learn new things along the way. My ability to adapt to new situation and make changes as quick as I can has indeed helped me to live a happy live, so far.

I have grown up children whom I believed had been given adequate education and training to get on with their lives. But having taken care of them for more than 2o years since they were born, it was indeed very difficult to let them go. They have been extremely obedient children and coped well under my strict regimental upbringing. I am now learning to accept them as they are, a full grown individual who have minds of their own, having to live their own lives, and hope that they make all the right choices and continue to live a happy lives.
