LETTERS FROM THE CORPUS AMYGDALOIDEUM

I was at a clock shop one evening wanting to buy a clock for my parents. I zeroed down to this large dialled, big numbers Sinix watch which was perfect but had this learning – “Time and Tide Wait for no Man.” The truth is - Every man change with time and tide. Only the clever ones have the leisure to cherish the past. Every man is born a caveman. Maturity and sophistication only comes to him by putting himself in circumstances undesired by him. This letter is to jot the past down in this miniature blog, wrap it and throw it. It’s a letter of anxiety, frustration, and will to change how worldly matters function and make time wait for me. Judging a man from what you see, read or hear is the worst mistake one can make. Things are simple if you want it to be. Men are of two types – ones who squander away and complain; the second being the ones who acquire and smile. Being a grabber does no harm. It does the masses well. Also, the second type of men is the one who spends miserly and wisely. They hide information from the masses only to use it again for the betterment of the society when in trouble. Of course they want to profit from the result. They spend most of their time not by running the rat race; rather running with the rat racers, analysing their need and providing people with that need. You have two simple choices – Listen to people who will try to make your current bitter based on their judgement of your persona, alternatively Ignore people, live in the current and move forward as you dreamt things would be. Fight against those who wish to pull you down and want you to be realistic for the tiny moment they are with you. Kick them, bury them in their own sand castle, fulfil their wishes; but move forward. Remember, time and tide waits for only those men who know how to play with time and tide.

Lastly would like to add a magic formula verse of a poem –
And each man kills the thing he loves,
By all let this be heard,
Some do it with a bitter look,
Some with a flattering word,
The coward does it with a kiss,
The brave man with a sword.
