Sadness and tragic has been in the air these few days.
Everyone is talking about the Japan Earthquake/Tsunami and last night scenes of unfortunate people were on TV's charity show.
I choose not to watch the news or read articles about the Japanese tragic incident and I stopped watching the charity show after half an hour.
Not that I am heartless or least concerned about them, but it's just that there are too much sadness for me to bear. I felt heavy-hearted when I watched the personal encounters of the SPD beneficiaries. I felt helpless when I saw images of elderly huddled together on the streets because of the earthquake. These feelings are too much to bear.
As such, I chose to stop watching the charity show, trying to ignore the cruel reality that such unfortunate things do happen. I chose to listen to second-hand accounts from friends about the Japanese incident instead since the impact is lessen as compared to seeing real images.
Before I can have the courage to face such despair and tragedy, I am an escapist.
It has been eons since I last visited my blog. I totally ignored its existence for a long time. How long has it been, I was thinking.
I was surprised to see my last post dated 2 July 2010. That is like 8 months ago! That also marks how long I have been working. I have stopped blogging on the 2nd day of work.
I read through a couple of my previous posts and those seem foreign to me. I don't remember writing like that and I am not sure if I can write an entry again. I think I have lost my writing ability.
Why do I have the sudden urge to blog again?
I was watching a show (can't remember what was it) the other day and I had the sudden realization that I am getting shallow. I have not been using my sociological imagination. I have not been reading and keeping up with current affairs. I have not been in deep thoughts.
All I have been doing are working, having fun with friends and following Suju news updates.
I hope blogging can re-generate my thinking.
