Strange brew

The depths of sorrow are never ending.
Forbearing the temptation of being eternally happy is somehow deeply ingrained in the shallow wisps of a tornado approaching.

Not sure why I got that thought. Its very likely to be a result of a review at work ;-) Felt like a carrot and stick story all over again, except, the donkey was me this time. Am thinking this is the actual way most of the employees live their entire lives, giving themselves false hopes and living in a all sealed box afraid of getting out of the set pattern of life. Afraid of everything. What if....? And the possibilities of endiung that sentence are mostly not positive. Or maybe I am wrong and most of them are living just as they expected or planned to, getting ahead moment by moment, inching towards their eventual victory.

Recently, someone I do not know personally got a heart attack and after the initial treatment in ICU and the works, he was unfortunately declared medically dead. The doctors came in to ask permission to remove the ventilators on him. Which made be think of the decisions one may have to take in life, one has to prepare for. I wondered about all those people who talk so much about being decisive and how they would react in situations like these. Its not all that difficult to pass a judgement on someone when they are not related in anyway. It becomes a different ball game altogether when you know that person and are in some manner related. Hope he pulls through. Amen.
