Simply La You Know, Something Triggered In My Head!

I will be the first to admit that I possess many negative qualities people want the world to be rid of.

And it seems that I always realise this when a Facebook friend starts preaching.

Which begs the conundrum, how can one preach when he/she isn't perfect?

I am cynical (albeit more satirically rather than dead-set serious cynicism), I procrastinate, I love alcohol (although I can't drink it as much as I used to be able to), I am a former smoker, I fake myself sometimes to get things done, I lie, I am lazy, I love gossiping and bla and bla and bla and I can keep adding to this list with no end in sight. I am flawed, admittedly make no excuses for it and always know God loves me and Karma is timely and ultimately takes it toll.

So it always surprises me when people tend to relentlessly defend their virtues (yes, 'virtue', most definitely includes a positive connotation in this context) although the truth or even their motivation for it may be far from justified. So far from being fair, they may have even convinced themselves that it is the only truth.

I am always ready to admit defeat. If one tells me that I am being an asshole, I'll admit it and I'll reason with myself and adapt.

Because when it comes to defending oneself, even the purest of souls turn into bigots.

After all, in the end, it is always the innate ego in oneself that starts saying "I have done this and done that and I know this and know that."

When in fact, the 'I' itself is nothing more than an illusion.

HE is the only truth.

As the great Ramana Maharshi says, "Your duty is not to be this or that; give up the notion that 'I am so and so' ".

And that saying was 'Google'd.

Cos' J ain't perfect honey!!!
