Why Is It Necessary To Give A Fig?

 

The absurd fact of the matter is that there are more people out there who do not give a fig about others. Some are referred to as COVIDIOTS, while others are mere self-centered individuals who just cannot be bothered, at all, ever. And in this context, I am not referring only to the shitty pandemic. I am talking about the realness of people who are either going to mask up or use pretense as an excuse. What can you do if you are in the company of such types of people?

When it comes to protection, it is quite imperative that you wear on the mask, social distance, and avoid anyone who does not follow protocol. You cannot din sense in people who aren't interested in playing safe for themselves and others. Self-centered morons cannot even bear to consider life aside from their limited purview. These are people who you should be socially distant from, or you may lose your peace of mind.

Masking up is not only related to the pandemic, which is very important. It also requires that you mask up from the emotionally bankrupt - they cause damage physiologically and mentally to others.  

So, there is the question, how do you go about being distant?

It is a no-brainer actually, you just do what your mind tells you. If you feel uncomfortable in a situation that does not bring peace, find sanctity elsewhere. Get people who ruffle your feathers out of the equation, you will be happier, and healthier. It can get tough, I get that, but when you do not recognize yourself and lose out on being happy, run. If you cannot do so physically, do it mentally and emotionally. Ultimately, you will be able to view the situation objectively.

Do you find yourself in a quandary with no way out?

It may seem quite impossible as you deal with a messy situation day in and out. Fear not, there are always solutions. Do not feel life is impossible just because of the selfishness of others. There is a pot at the end of the rainbow. And most importantly what goes around will come back around. In my opinion, I believe that what you dish, you have to be ready to taste, even if there is an acrid stench.

Once you take stock of what is in your emotional and mental cupboard, you can sift through the good stock and the lousy stash.

Choose your mask carefully.

Use the darn mask.

Cover up parts that need to be covered from negative inhalants.

End of story.

Water Woe

Here’s a problem about the water scene that’s plaguing our city with the authorities taking a lackadaisical attitude about our woeful situation. Guess privatization of this inactive force needs to be the hour of the day. What say? The heat at this time of the year in Feb is rather pinching and I really wonder what it’s gonna be like in the coming months. Here’s hoping that some rain will give us a breather and in consequence fill the reservoirs and enable the water man to actually attend to our ardent need. Moving on from the tale of gloom, with the onset of summer it’s time for the sleek and svelte to don the most happening items in vogue and show off their splendid bods. To the rest of us metabolically slow, we trudge the path of heat with the longing that this brand of ‘exercise’ (or lack of it) would shed the unwanted girth! Anyways, it’s a good time I guess both ways, coz everyone maybe a winner because..........the heat is on! ....... but not the ones with lack of water...

Happy Birthday Mama Mary

I sit here thumping away on the keyboard wondering about what to write and it dawns on me…… Many years ago when I was a young girl I was approached by a lady in Church to play the role of Mother Mary. She wanted to put up this enactment about the apparition of Mary to a group of children. I did not know who the person was and was surprised - my first thought was to decline as I was extremely shy. However, she did not pressurize me and instead asked me to think about it and after doing so and sharing it with the folks, I accepted the role. This play went on for about fifteen minutes but they were the best moments of my life. Many years have gone by…but this wonderful memory remains with me always. However, I feel sad at the number of people who do not acknowledge Our Lady. Jesus said “Son this is your mother and mother this is your son” and thus we embrace Mary as our blessed mother. She, as any mother, helps us with our problems, intercedes on our behalf and in return we than...

Cheating

Why do people throw good relationships for a quick roll in the hay? This practice seems to be growing and practically every second person in a committed relationship doesn’t think twice about two timing his/her partner. However, when they are “found out” these individuals don’t think twice about promising the moon and once forgiven you can be pretty sure that they are gonna do (sic) the deed again and again. I think that once they go the entire hog, they just aren’t gonna curb their enthusiasm! Cheaters know their partners will relent no matter what. They preen themselves with having “won”! However, if a person cheats on me, I would tell the jerk to beat it. Rather be single, keep your dignity intact than stick with some douche bag. Not my cuppa … What about you my lovelies?

Beginning of the End?

A short story here... Just read and let me know what you think? I haven't concluded the story just going with the flow. The erratic nature of the power supply left the entire city in the lurch and this seemed to be a frequent occurrence. In spite of pleadings to curb global warming people paid no heed to the warnings and this brought about the swarm …. The beginning was when the entire country was wiped out in darkness and stampedes all over going on well into the night. Headlights of passing vehicles were the only source of light as generators were giving way because of the scarcity of fuel available. Every living being was being held hostage because of the “no power and no water” adage. No rainfall = less electricity = no water = no produce = malnutrition. The crops were in a mess, pets were getting crazed, and livestock was dropping dead by the minute. Drought was at an all time high. Neighboring countries pitched in, but this deluge was gaining momentum across cou...

The Price of Public Humiliation

Two-Faced You know there are people who claim to be pals just to look cool. I had this conversation with a close friend who couldn’t understand why a couple of her Facebook friends ignored her in person. After our chat, it finally dawned on her that the so called friends just wanted a long list to appear hip. She updated her status and vented her frustration. An amusing story here - the same people who ignored her added their two bits about public humiliation and gave it the thumbs down signal. Weird don't you think? Plastic Smiles How would you like it if relatives followed the same principle? In public spaces they turn away pretending they do not know you leaving you dumbfounded. Here is something that happened to a couple of friends. They received invitations for a wedding where everyone attended the blessed event. To cut a long story short, my friends and their families were ignored and treated like social pariahs by closest members of the family! When they came face-to-f...
