yeah....Things will only get better

This story is about hearts....

The 13 cards of Hearts in a pack of cards would constantly fight over who welds the greatest power. For obvious reasons, the King of Hearts would proclaim that he is the most powerful of all. He is the king. However, it all changes when you're talking about dai dee.....The 2 of Hearts would come up tops.

Now what about the rest of the cards? Don't you just hate it when you're in a game of blackjack, you have Royal Card with a ten and you're unable to get another ace? That would give you a blackjack? It would be pointless if the very next card you draw is a 2?

In other words, the importance of a card is relative. If you need a 3 to a blackjack anything less or more than that, doesn't make any sense at all. SO who is to tell me a King of Hearts is better/more valuable/more important than say a 7?

I've dug out this old story from some old archieve.

Once there was a young man who proclaimed to have the most beautiful, flawless heart. An old man challenged him. The crowd looked at the old man’s heart. It was beating strongly, but full of scars. Some pieces had been removed and others had been put in, but didn’t fit quite right.

The old man looked at the young man, “I would never trade my heart for yours. Every scar represents a person I’ve given my love -- I tear out a piece and give it to them. Sometimes they give me a piece of their broken heart, which I fit along jagged edges. When the person doesn’t return my love, a painful gouge is left. Those gouges stay open, reminding me that I love these people too. Perhaps someday they will return and fill that space.”

Don't ask about WHAT IF they didn't return. This world is full of WHAT IFs.

What if someone found the most wanted terrorist in this world and manages to receive the reward?

What if I managed to purchase COSCO Corp at the beginning of the year at 2 plus per share and sold it off when it was 5 ? I would have at least made a 100 plus per cent profit.

What if I worked hard enough and gotten a scholarship after my "A" levels?

What if I bought the winning combi to yesterday's Toto?

What if......

Ah.. What if What the Fuck.......

Sometimes we spend too much time thinking of What Ifs.... In fact I can't remember what I dreamt of last night. I know I did dream of something, but I can't recall. I mean What if I can ? So now that I can't so how?

Ah.. irritating. Perhaps that explains why I suck at philo and all that all talk theory stuff.

I prefer to concentrate on what's possible currently. I prefer to listen to my mind and to my heart. I wish that my mind and heart would tell me the identical stuff. And please no more what ifs......

There are unlimited possible outcomes to the what ifs senarios. Don't waste your time spending all your efforts in exploring all of them. I know I won't and my heart won't be allowing that. I prefer to put my heart into what I can do, what I can make a difference in.

What i can't do, I'll leave that aside..... Just like I can't log into MOM's website....arghh.....

:p
