sa pagtatakip-silim

by Saturday, May 08, 2010 8 palagay
Blangkong nakatingin sa matataas na gusali at billboards ng Ortigas, bingi kong pinagmamasdan ang mga umiindap na ilaw sa labas ng opisina sa kabila ng tawanan at maiingay na boses ng mga kasama sa opisina. Mas maingay ang katahimikan sa puso ko.

At ang kalungkutan, daig pa ang nagpapa-alam na araw sa pagsasabing ang araw na ito ay natapos na naman at isa pa rin akong talunan.

Kung tutuusin, wala namang pinagkaiba ang pagtalikod at pagharap sa pighati. Parehas pa rin itong matatawag na katapangan.

Hindi ka dapat umiyak. Bawal.

To see the world, things dangerous to come to, to see behind walls, draw closer, to find each other, and to feel. That is the purpose of life.

Pero mas may saysay ang makipagtuos sa kalungkutan dahil kasinghirap din naman nito ang pagtalikod o ang paglimot. :)

pwede naman siguro umiyak. i find it's a very good way to find release.

bakit mo pinipigilan ang sarili mo na ilabas ang nararamdaman mo. hindi kahinaan ang pagamin na hindi lahat ng bagay at kaya mo at may mga pagkakataong kelangan mong ilabas ito para gumaan ang bigat na nararamdaman.

What are our tear glands for if we're not going to use them when needed?
There's time to laugh, to rue, and to cry when our hearts tell us to do so.

Philosophers might think it is a fallacy to cry, and they even made up a word to make it concrete for all of us: ARGUMENTUM AD MISERICORDIAM.

They may be right. But, I am too human to be too cold and too callous not to succumb to this fallacy. In fact, I love this fallacy. It's quite liberating.

Like you, I, too, am reminiscent, introspective, contemplative. Like you, I also have a profound wistful yearning for a return to the past. Many people might think that's foolish, but hey, this is the way I am and I can't give a rat's ass for whatever other people will say about me.

Keep smiling ;) and cut down on your alcohol consumption and stop smoking. These two are fallacies that we should indeed not do. He-he.
Pinakagat muna bago nag-sermon. O sige na nga. Drink moderately. A little alcohol is good for the body. Nicotine is definitely a no-no.

Keep smiling ;)
This time, it's for real. Ha-ha.

H-ha-ha. Hindi mo yata nakuha ang joke?

It was an exercise in "fallacy of contradiction."

Hey, if we can cry, why can't we laugh as well?

Right, Elias Jason?
