yeah....Things will only get better

IF you keep telling yourself that you can't do it, I'm sure you won't. If you keep telling yourself that something is hopeless, then hopeless it shall be.

I am no philosopher. I don't come up with profound theories such as "you think therefore you are" or something to that effect. But well, it's true you know. I remember my days in the army, whereby it's always "mind over body". Now that's a very dangerous statement nowadays.

You get fit young guys telling themseleves that, over exerting themseleves to the extent that they don't even know that their bodies can no longer take it.

Try telling yourself that life sucks. Ah... I assure you that it shall be so.

See a counselor dude. Of course be open to that. If you think that it won't work even before you step into the room, don't waste your time for it is destined to fail.

I'm sorry to have made you worry. Nope, my life did not revolve around her. Neither did it revolve around my job. Though as mentioned in an earlier post that yes, I did work round the clock but well, when you loose one of the 2 most valuable things in life, you tend to value the other even more.

Just like my conversation with Mr T. An old gentleman that been through the Second World War. He might be Chinese, but he speaks fluent Japanese. The Japanese Occupation took away 3 of his family members. He was subjected to torture and such.

The war might be over, but for him the greater battle within him is still on-going. He does his best to stay away from all things Japanese. It's kind of difficult nowadays though. Tell me , who doesn't have a Japanese product within your house?

Mr T lives on a simple principle. His mind him to alleviate the pain, despite all these years of mourning. It still hurts but by reducing the exposure to "all things Japanese", it helps a lot. This doesn't mean that he is weak mentally you know. Just using that little power of the mind of his to get his life moving, again.

Would he ever forgive the Japanese?

That is no longer as issue for him. As long as he is not constantly reminded of the dark past, all is forgiven.
