There is a proper order to everything. Sadly enough, I see so many of my peers trying to cheat on life by skipping steps or getting ahead by all means that I really have to say it - learn to wait. Wait until you have enough money to buy the house of your dreams - don't take a loan; wait until you find someone who gives you thrills whenever you think of them - don't settle for anyone; but by all means, don't wait until every dream you once had is out of reach. Because that's why, at the end of the day, we find ourselves in debt, that's why we have so many troublesome relationships and, most importantly, that's why so many people lead their unfulfilling lives devoid of faith and love.

As with all assiduous attempts of whatever nature, one must especially take caution with intellectual tinkering, or else it may come out the wrong way. And I probably mean that in more than one sense.

Today I've seen some photos from various clubs. All the people looked the same - hollow.

Ideally, it's not every day that you do something stupid; that is why you must do your best when you decide to do it.

Your world is as big as you make it; an entire globe of wondrous places and cultures, you say? No, thank you. Not even the entire Europe is as it should be and we are expected to go out, see the world unfold? To what selfish avail? It would be equally pleasing to watch yourself transposed in kitsch puppetry. Compete with the US? Not with their thirst for power. Compete with China and India? We'll be out of consumer products. Do not compete - collaborate, but do no infringe national interests. Reject African immigrants, reject non-European students. Stop sexual libertinism. Limit WHO and IMF interventions. Would all those be so absurd?

To a friend: they were all happy but you. They're all smiling in this photograph, but you have your own troubles. I found that out shortly after we met, and I made you well for just a couple of moments. But then came your fall, and to this day I'm still struggling to find the reason why you're this moral whore that stands before me today. What happened? Was the struggle to stay on the right path too much? Do you like it so? Please tell me.

The reason why we're not together anymore is that you've held peasants by the hand.

The present is but a comma between the past and the future.

There are three things difficult to control - madness, anger and love. And once you think you've learned to control them, you'll find that you actually lost love and gained the other two.

And the moral of the story - have a little madness in your life.

I have always found it an incredibly detrimental idea to lie about time. Time has this unique trait - it retaliates tenfold against those claiming, consciously or not, that they lack time when they really don't. Always avoid excuses involving time, unless convinced that you're right. Always speak the truth. Always be true to others and to your motivations.

Though the mills of God grind slowly,
Yet they grind exceeding small;
Though with patience He stands waiting,
With exactness grinds He all.

 Retribution by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Disproportionate distribution of feelings makes for too little love for others and too much of a pitiful life. Care for any help?

One interesting thing about those serving as models in our society is that they tend to belong to those classes most highly revered. Change the perception on social classes and voilà! New idols.

Is it really by mere chance that people stumble upon the same things in a relatively short period of time?

Emotions tone down. All I'm left with are feelings and passions, but at least they're as strong as ever. Some no longer have any left in them.

Have you ever noticed how groups of people repeat themselves, as if by some sort of local social pattern?
