Pensive pensieve?
Love is not about possession, it's about knowing that whoever you love is happy.
Quite easily said, but not as easily done. Perhaps most people might feel that possession as mentioned in the statement above would refer more to tangible (or physical) possession... but it can also apply to possession that is intangible. Personally, I feel that the possession of the intangible transcends that of the tangible. I think that love without wanting possession in any sense is not really love. I think the nobility that people talk about when it comes to love (in the sense of not wanting to possess) is only applicable after the stage of "wanting possession" and I don't think many people actually go through that.
Perhaps it's due to my age... and the fact that I'm still, well... single, that I normally have weird thoughts which I would like to pen down during the festive season. Perhaps an emotional void? It's not a feeling of loneliness. It could be a feeling of emptiness. Oh well.
Moving on to today's happenings...
Woke up in the late morning and went over to Dawson's Place with my friend (came over the night before to use my laptop) for lunch, only to discover that the food court was closed. Did a bit of grocery shopping at NTUC FairPrice before walking out to check if the coffee shop has any food. Fortunately, the Indian stall was still open and we managed to grab a bite before my friend left.
Ah, feeling a little restless, so I fiddled with the myFLASHbox website for a while. Made some minor changes to the Shout History page. Nothing much done ba... watched TV in the evening. Think got a bit of the Lunar New Year mood ba :P
The Lunar New Year will be here soon... So here's wishing one and all a Happy Lunar New Year =]

I think... after going through the process of "wanting possession", to have the "nobility" of not wanting it is just a sign of resignation.
That is, I don't think it's "nobility" at all.
The resignation stems from the fact when you know that you'll never have that possession in this lifetime. And possibly the next one. And the one after.
I don't think that's a weird thought. It is, in my opinion, a logical one.
