There Are No Fools But Greed

there are no fools, not even April fool...

Age is a reflection but the physique also shows over time
Not everywhere but a ball of white
Lightening as age moves forward
Surely, some colors will do the trick but nothing's like natural

The physique can be trained, toned and built
But, the journey gets tougher as age moves forward
Nonetheless, it's mind over body
I shalt remain as healthy & fit as I am determined to make it so

Many who passed 50s are already in regress mode
Blaming age for physique's deterioration is a fool's escape
We are what we think as we are what we eat too
Age will moves ahead but we can move faster long before it does


Whoever blames others for their predicament and ill-health forget that the sufferer is themselves; even Steve Jobs can only stare at his life-support machines, wealth aside

Everyone wants an escalator ride up the social ladder
Like all glamour and trophies, the path is crowded but desirous
I choose the less traveled as I can manage my own speed
Besides, I can explore and push the frontiers

Arrival & achievements are self-anointed expeditiously
There are no easy paths but the winner needn't be the fittest, cleverest, smartest nor ****est
人在事在 :留得青山在不怕没柴烧

Everyone wants everything (good) & the best in the world
But, the "Best" is relative
The poor man is looking for his next meal and some warmth against the wintry winds while the rich kid is kicking up a fuss over his Michelin meals; half or well-done

上班了
That was a job and there were no foreign workers rushing to displace Singaporeans then
Every one has a role to play; the Politicians plots, the Managers manage and the workers, work
There were equitable distribution of the fruits & there enough to go round
Nobody was 'sold-out'
Can we say the same today? No
There are no fools but stupidity has no cures


It is greed, not stupidity nor fools, that undermine societal norms & equality
Equality is not communism but an equitable and acceptable distributions that minimize sufferings and offer fair, equitable & fairly stable livelihoods in a dignified environment

The Gini-Coefficient is wider than the ocean
The taxes and fares+fees increases will further burden the commoners
Costs of living issues are daily challenges - the next meal is threatened when 'survival of the fittest' rules
The only cure today is "Change"

When you change, the world changes with you

If you are waiting for the world to change to suit you, you are dead as "dodo"

Be magnanimous, be Compassionate - Give a little to the less fortunate, less well off and 'unables'






Life's Reality Can't Be Pawned

live best when others live worst... Be at peace with yourself The calm ocean has strong undercurrents The peaceful, picturesque & serene...
