Partial blueprint to life.......


A simple game of chess is really a peephole into the other party's capacity for strategizing; and perhaps more. Such a mind equipped with this would probably stand a better chance in facing the obstacles in the game of life. Strategizing in the game of chess is akin to being prepared in life. Luck is perhaps a poor man's excuse for not being prepared. In a chess game,looking too hard may bring other possibilities into obscurity. Likewise,in the game of life,one has to be prepared as well as open to change. The balance between adaptability and premeditation has to be fine-tuned in one's bid to survive.

The nemesis of one's inner voice: the fear of societal beliefs

It is this fear of being judged and ridiculed that inspires bloggers such as Jj's sister & (of course)many other blogpages i've come across,to hide behind a facade that allows them to put someone down. Something in real-life,they would never have the strength to do. I presume it's cumulative effect of doing so breeds this self-imposed bitterness and disgust at the world. Or what they perceive as *wrong* with people. She might be under the assumption that it is a form of ignorance to disregard all that she sees. But in this case,ignorance might be bliss; One of the more crucial factors that aid's one's maturity and self-development is the ability to be made aware of one's faults. But yet, this process of criticizing/mocking or *almost* anonymously,in the bid of feathering her self-worth(one that is highly questionable) is impending her mental growth.
I admit the above-mentioned fear is something i myself have yet to completely overcome. But by directing my comments specifically,its another step i have taken to defeat this fear. If only she would peel her eyes away from the computer,or remove herself from her perpetual,self-imposed *solitude* of her room,i could tell her what i THINK of her,STRAIGHT TO HER FACE. And therefore,it would mean that i would be a few more steps closer to conquering the grounds i tread with trepidation .
Oh if someone EVER DOES catch her out of this routine,please do tell her that to verbally-excoriate one behind his/her back.......is out of line with her "non-comformist" motto.
