to summarise, we need to fulfill our basic needs first, according to maslow, before we can go on to successively "higher" needs,

for example, if you are hungry and sex-deprived, have low self esteem, (physical needs) you would not be able to reach your potentials career wise, in love, you would have self-esteem issues and fail to make it to the the psychological need of self actualization - to grow as a person, get my drift? so it really does depend on what you put into your tummy, hehe

going by this theory, which is, might i add, incredibly sound and logical, human beings would never be contented, or rather, remain contented

i mean, once you have a car, you want a bigger car next, once you have a pretty girl, you'd want a prettier girl or maybe two pretty girls,

hence, although contentedness is of course not synonymous with happiness, as pointed out by coelho,

it's impossible to be happy without being contented first, and the irony is that once you reach a level of contentment, your happiness would merely be in passing, and you'll once again desire for a contentment that can only be fulfilled by a higher achievement,

my point? savour your happy moments, some last for a long time, others only mere secaonds, but moments are moments, because they never last  ¶ 12:19 am 0 comments

  there are better things to ponder about than the meaning of life, true love, happiness, sadness, whatever,

it's possible that all the great thinkers like berlin, thomas, james, whoever, whoever lost touch of the simpler things in life while pursuing and creating new thoughts on politics, sociology, whatever,

they forget to ponder, (possibly because these are beneath their intellects) about
things like why boogers only smell when they are out of your nose, or what ear wax is made up of,

things like which side of the grass is greener, and what mapple butter tastes like, how come axillary hair is curly even though you have straight hair,

why do snails continue forward after we lifted them and turned them round 180 degrees,
how come coconuts do not contain cocoa, why it's never too late to have chocoLATE,

  class 95's 90s weekend coincided with my customory weekend travels to the far east for my four hours of mental torture,

loved every song they played, even the elton john stuff,

but then they played one of my all time favs - Meatloaf's "I would do anything for love (but i won't do that)"


for more than 10 years, i've been asking, questioning, querying, what is that one thing that Marvin Aday wouldn't do for love.


i've whittled it down to a number of things;




1. he won't go for reconstructive surgery
2. he would not denounce his liking for velvet
4. he wouldn't cut his hair
4. he wouldn't sing a duet with elton
5. he won't take it in the arse  ¶ 11:05 pm 0 comments

  A sultan decided to travel by sea with some of his favorite courtiers. They joined the ship in Dubai and sailed out into the open sea.
However, as soon as the ship moved away from land, one of his subjects - who had never seen the sea before, having spent most of his life in the mountains - began to be overcome with panic.
Sitting in the ship's hold, he cried, shouted and refused to eat or sleep. Everyone tried to calm him down, saying that the journey wasn't as dangerous as all that, but although he heard their words, they had no influence on his heart. The sultan did not know what to do, and the fine journey upon calm seas and under blue skies, became a torment for the passengers and crew alike.
Two days passed without anyone being able to sleep because of the man's cries.
The sultan was about to order the ship to return to port, when one of his ministers, who was known for his wisdom, came over:
- Your Highness, with your permission, I will be able to calm him.
Without a moment's hesitation, the sultan said that not only would he allow it, but that he should reward him if he succeeded in solving the problem.
The wise man asked that the man be thrown into the sea. Right away, content because their nightmare was about to end, several crew members grabbed the man struggling in the hold, and cast him into the ocean.
The courtier thrashed about, sank, swallowed plenty of seawater, returned to the surface, screamed louder than ever, sank again, and managed to surface once again. Just then, the minister ordered for him to dragged back on board.
From then on, no one heard so much as a single complaint from the man, who spent the rest of the journey in silence, and even commented to one of the passengers that he had never seen anything so beautiful as the sky and sea touching on the horizon. The journey - which had before been a torment to all those on board the ship - became a pleasurable, peaceful experience.
A short time before they returned to port, the Sultan went to see the minister:
- How did you guess that, by throwing that poor man into the sea, he would calm down?
- Because of my marriage - replied the minister. - I was always terrified of losing my wife, and was so jealous that I never stopped shouting and screaming like that man.
"One day she could take no more, and left me - and I tasted the terrible experience of living without her. She only returned when I promised never again to torment her with my fears.
"In the same way, that man had never tasted salt water, and had never known the agony of a drowning man. When he felt that, he understood only too well how marvelous it can be to feel the planks of a ship under his feet.
- Wise counsel - commented the sultan.
