Spider Web

mood: calm before the storm

For someone who was recently witness to a friend's car going into a major skid and spin on UK's motorway, this video somehow struck a chord with me. I am not normally a fan of Simple Plan, but the circumstances and feelings involved managed to contrive a sense of understanding and connection. Being one who drives very regularly back in Singapore might be another factor. You all know what I mean (ESPECIALLY ROGER LOW) don't drink and drive!

the video

The video brought a very valid point to mind. Are our lives really just our own to live? Everything and everyone is interconnected somehow. Each little action or non-action on our part has a cause and effect on some other external situation or person. Sort of like something along the scale of a mental or emotional earthquake occurring when you make a monumental decision and the effects of those decisions are felt more keenly the more someone else is closer to the epic centre (namely you). As with all things in life, I believe that the "best in moderation" policy applies here as well. The balance between being apathetic to those around you and overly-sensitive is a tight rope we all learn to walk in the lives we lead. It's just a case of how proficient you are at maintaining that balance. :)

So, how close are you to the core of my web do you think you are/should be? Are our lives as inter-related as you think they are? Do you have a pull over me and vice versa? Questions, I have a few. Answers, I await from you...
