Love-poem

Love is a magliant cancer.
It slowly eats you away from within.
It devours your soul, leaving you desperate.
In the worse situations there's no remedy to curb to the pain and suffering.
This is what is commonly known as the break up.

Predetermined destiny

From a religious approach, this definitely stands true, regardless of which ever religion it is. We believe that we were born for a purpose and it’s our destiny to fulfill that. In Taoism, if you are gifted to be a medium then one must use those gifts otherwise one will be ‘cursed’ with health problems. In Christianity, as much as Jonah tried to run away from his destiny, he couldn’t. End up being swallowed by a whale and brought to his destination.

In this modern world we live in however, we’re taught to be self made mans. That our future, our destiny lies in our hands. Education can propel us to a better future, not the color of your skin. That its hard work and not the pedigree of your family name or your position in your social caste system that gets you where you should be.

And that is true no doubt about it. However this education propelling you to the front of the line notion is only applicable for the bourgeois. The rich, especially with old money play a different game altogether. Evident in pop culture – gossip girls. Upper east siders play by their own rules. Old money stays within old money. It gets transacted from family A to B, B to C but never to Z.

In a closer note to home and to the heart, what prompted this thought was by looking at the gays in Singapore. You look at a teenager gay, you could predict his future with a 90% accuracy. Basically it’s not hard to be a gay fortune teller. You’ll know how he’ll dress up, the company he’ll hang out with, to the number of times he’ll go clubbing and hit the gym (or not).

And that prediction never deviates far. Each individual would have access to any sort of information/resources they need, yet the outcome will be predictable. Type Alpha Gay, Type Hunky Barbie, Type Chub & Chaser, Type Circuit Kid, Type sex Fiend, Type Teenage Twerp. The category is pre determined from day 1. Which makes me wonder why fight predetermined destiny, or if anyone of us are actually fighting it.
