Wednesday, August 17, 2005 I was chatting with one of my close friends when he made a statement which startled me a little. He said NS made him realise that in this world, one will, and should, always look after his own self first. Other things concerning other people, their feelings, what they want, how well they are doing etc. comes second. That made me recall what 1 of my course mate told me just a day before. He said to me, "Do not trust anyone, not even me. Only trust yourself." I enquired as to why he said that, and he promptly replied something like people always care for themselves first, who knows when you will get backstabbed. The main gist is, you cover your own back. No one else will be willing to do it for you. At least thats what i caught. And he brought out the fact that there are already theft cases in my course when there is supposed to be trust among and between soldiers. In fact, this whole topic began percisely because we (me and my coursemate) were talking about the rising inciddents of people in my course losing their belongings. Is this what the society, the adult world, is really all about? Yourself? In the pursuit of materalistic ideals and needs and desires, people tend to only think for themselves and not for others. Of course, our instincts are to first take care of ourselves before looking out for others. Its natural. Somehow, some have...resisted this instinct in more ways than one. For most people that do, it takes the form of a more negative nature. You get what i'm implying. For those who don't, here's a hint: It doesn't matter how others fare. (= It really isn't that hard to look out for one another. Really. I never at any moment doubted my friends. Ever. If you know what friends are to me. I'll be waiting...don't let me down Trust? +++
