for once, SNM displayed space of extraordinary dimensions, timeless and strong. The lights, the music and all the visuals were mindblowing.
just how the convicted people from the past led glorious, motivated lives doing one single thing -
be it sculptors, philosophers, musicians, craftsmen, etc.. no fixed education paths and competition or examinations, just a lifetime of dedication and thinking. All that to build great cultures and empires of the graceful Greeks, the powerful Romans, the great Tang, Qing dynasties...
who are we of today to compare?
Where have all the great artists and great men of the past gone today?

My state of being now: mundane, mediocre, and unexciting.
Nothing that makes me wanna jump and shout: "Yes, this is the way life should be!",
Then again, sometimes, it is with this nothingness that people draw strength from,
for quiet reflections, using whatever techniques possible to calm the mind,
and further opening oneself out to the world. I, on the other hand, seem to be falling deeper into myself,
into a realm of vacuum and further confusion within.
The real reason for this, of course, is no better than the sudden huge increase in workload
- absolutely ridiculous &^@&^*&# -
that has sent me into a state of blankness...
