The City That Never Sleeps

Over dinner I realised, gathering for a meal with a big group isn't always optimal for people who prefer quiet, intimate affairs. I personally prefer a smaller group (looking at 6 at most) rather than dine in group of 13 where I have to attempt several times before I succeed in calling out for the person at the other end of the table. Was a good meet up while the sister is still here actually. One of the last few also.
I hope I can remain positive and not dampen spirits this weekend. I shall reward myself next week if I tolerate the string of temples we will be visiting over the 2 days. I have been told to pray for surviving the rafting mishap or alternatively I could pray for inner peace. Maybe I will just use the time to ponder over matters. I have no qualms about religion and faith per se. I just have issues about how some people go through extreme measures to fulfill rituals, prayers while making, in my opinion, unnecessary sacrifices along the way. The number of hours some people can spend in temples, I always think can be channeled more effectively to achieve what they pray/wish/hope for. Instead of praying and letting things take its own course, why not make the first step in making things work for you. Why not be in control and in charge? I really hope when I wake up tomorrow I remember I have school. Freedom robbed away. At least, no classes on Mondays. Thou shall be glad. |
