Status Quo.

What initially started out as a bid to write the longest essay i've ever written on this soon dissolved into sentences of what I feel. Well.. its all about maintaining the status quo - the nonstop mugging, fixated attention on notes notes and... notes. Like everyone tells me, about the thin line between life and death, the thin line between the grades A's, B's to U's, the thin red line (random), much of everything revolves around the decisions we make. Whether its to strive the extra effort to gain (or haggle) for the half a mark, whether its controlling the urge to do the dangerous, we make decisions everyday... consciously, and subconsciously.

I love the status quo, for its where I can measure the pros and cons on both sides of the line. Yet, on the line I have this nagging feeling I'm lacking something, lacking the experience of what life outside the line actually means. Yunsong described it quite aptly! (and with writing it down I shall remember)... many a times we looked, but did not see; listened, but did not hear; touched, but did not feel. How much attention have we actually paid to the people, and things, around us. Theres so much in this world to explore, theres also so much within the realm of being human we cared not to explore.

Once again, when we stand on the lines of everyday decision, agonizing over the 'perfect' decision to take, unwittingly I may well let my heart take the very first step.
