Lessons.

So, let's go back to an earlier post on the Age of Pisces.

The time has come when events and unresolved issues would, and MUST be resolved, forcefully if need be. So, there's the Iraq war and the Congo massacres. Closer to home, we had the 3 crimes of passion, occurring back-to-back. And of course, who can forget SARS -- healthcare workers are beginning to realise and understand their true calling in life and the meaning of true nobility. Don't quite know exactly how SARS relates to Singaporeans directly -- all I can say from my own very limited perspective, is this: human nature at its best, and worst. The "new" things I'm learning about the people around me each day would make for an engrossing theatre play, almost. Certainly, there're lessons to be learnt here, about ourselves.

Well then, on an individual level, do you have a personal issue which you haven't resolved?

Some time ago, SF asked me what I thought I wanted most in life. After a lot of thought, I figured (am still not sure, actually) "courage". Courage, to have, and to do what my heart desired, at the moment of reckoning.

That conversation popped into my head, as I stepped into the house after work ended at midnight, lost in my thoughts. If I hadn't been so stoned, would probably have kicked myself for being a chicken -- was too shy to return his looks. I wonder if "the fish" is getting mixed signals from me.

But perhaps, it's not enough to know courage. Fishing is about patience too, yes?
