Lovely lovely lazy Sundays...

[Listening to: Norah Jones - What Am I To You]

Ahhh...this is great...

Waking up late, on a lazy Sunday...and my best friend calls and asks to go out..so out we go..2 guys having a lazy Sunday afternoon...to Megamall..where we split up and he does his thing and I do my thing, and 2 hours later we meet at MPH, and then its off to lunch at Jln Gasing.

Topped up by some basketball at the park by my house. Innit great?

But then..we got to talking about various things.. which got me thinking.

Well my friend recently came back from a family discovery trip back to China, to visit some relatives whom they'd never met before/for a long time (try decades). So he was describing their physiques, and how various people there resembled family members here. He would never have guessed if so and so was his relative even if he passed him on the street. And going deep into some village provincial town in Hebei, seeing those old houses with their internal courtyards, and the residents there, who was his direct aunt and cousin. Like...he goes so far, so deep, and theres someone there soo closely related to him. And it just got me thinking.

You know, many of us might be related to each other, in some way, that we don't know about. Nxt time you pass someone on the street..knock into someones car etc...THAT could be your sombody's somebody's somebody. The world is a big place. It makes sense many of us are related, even though the actual relation might be several stops away. And the thought that perhaps some cousin or some distant aunt or whatever..someone really close.. could be in some faraway deep provincial village right now.

Am i making sense?

Another thing. I sometimes wonder whether beautiful people have a heavier burden to live a moral life then the ugly people. Think about it. Ugly people don't have many people going after them right? So there is less temptation, less opportunities to stray, less tests of their moral fibre, and thus, easier to be a good person. But for a beautiful person, there will be lots of interest. Now, this beautiful person, knowing he/she is beautiful and can get almost anyone he/she desires, has so many more opportunities to stray, and perhaps to people hotter and more attractive than their current squeeze. So if this person remains faithful, wouldn't that be a harder task for him then for an ugly and unwanted person? Wouldnt that make the feat of this beautiful person, in staying honorable, be upped to a higher magnitude?

Hmm...the burden of being beautiful. If you are beautiful, and you don't switch to more attractive partners though you can, then it is 'well done, this is the right thing anyway'. If you do, you are a slut/asshole.

so unfair.
