Speak thy Truth


Even if a murder is not physically done, by committing it mentally, it is still a crime.

By having or developing a thought or plan in mind, it is still considered as having taken the very 1st step.

The integrity of a person is not judged upon whether or not the thoughts/plans they have are being materialized or not.

Not every thoughts or plans are that easily materialized. There are many factors to consider and circumstances to overcome.

A person who says and does is one thing.
A person who says and never does is another thing.

Not everything can be comprehended or accomplished in an instant.

A seed needs time to grow into a sapling.
A sapling needs time to sprout and bloom.

You do not fully comprehend the whole situation and thus please save yourself the trouble and not jump to conclusion or set your judgments.

“It is needless to waste time in correcting the false reports unless circumstances compel you to necessitate a clarification. The enemy is gratified when he sees that you are hurt. That is what he actually expects. If you are indifferent, such misrepresentations will fall on deaf ears.”

I am standing out to correct you as I feel that you’ve tainted my integrity this time round with those untrue statements of your’s. Time and time again you’ve been playing the fool on stage, thinking you’re the king. And this has dulled my interest and thus, I am not hurt this time around.

I shared my aspirations, dreams and thoughts with you cos I think of you as a worthy confidant. But atlas, it seems I’ve cast the wrong judgment.

And so now I’ll say to you. . .

“O by his slight acquaintance and faint knowledge of myself, I am lightly criticized. But if I am known better, more serious and much greater would be the accusations against me.”
- Epictetus


In seeing the faults of others, we should behave like a blind person.

In hearing unjust criticism of others, we should behave like a deaf person.

In speaking ill of others, we should behave like a dumb person.

All about
: elise :

Jack (or is it Jane?) of all trades,
(almost!)

but Master of none.
(trying to!)

This is my paradise, where I indulge my senses grandiloquently.

A collective effort to keep family & friends updated, and for random strangers to pop by.

I wanted to put a HUGE picture of myself in this space, but being the technologically challenged person that I am, I can't figure out the mojo of it.

So I guess I'll just have to make do with scattering loads of random self-shots all over the blog!
