The nine o'clock show ended off with a line that made an impact in my mind. 'Maybe what we always need is someone there to listen to what we have to say'. I totally agree with the idea.

It need not be a serious talk between two person but a simple chit-chat session. Just a cosy chair and a relaxing ambiance. In today's context, I think it is very important to have someone there to talk to and to vent some anger. But definitely not to whack the other party. Since we can't possibly just retaliate when we are in a difficult situation, the best way is to hold back the frustration and swallow whatever comes our way. After all, our reputation is at stake here. So, our only solution is to find someone and start complaining.

Or maybe we can practice catharsis. Nowadays, horror movies are readily available in every CD rental shops. Just go and borrow one and scare the daylight out off yourself and forget whatever that is bothering you. Or to get a comedy and laugh away your worries. As long as nothing or no one is hurt in the process, it's fine. A even better solution is to go youtube and watch some hilarious clips. It will help to relax our mind and puts us aways from the stress we are in.

But the best way is still to have a listening ear. It is wonderful to have someone there when you need someone to talk to. This person may not need to provide a solution but certainly his presence will make a great deal of a difference. Deep in us there is this urge to show off. Whatever we do, there is a certain degree that we hope to gain the awareness of someone if not everyone. It is also true that we always need someone to listen to what we have to say. It is not easy for everyone to understand another but the least we can do is to offer a listening ear without being bias to any side.

The only problem is to find such a person who will be there to listen when you want to speak. Who can be so convenient to pop up at the right time? Maybe someone who is always there beside you or maybe someone whom you have forgotten but is still praying for you constantly? I prefer the latter. At least you know that this person is still thinking of you and is a real friend. But do you remember who this person is? Or maybe you can't even remember that you were once very close?

Whatever it is, it is not that easy an issue to find someone to listen to you and the right person for it. If you do, treasure the person forever. It is never easy for another to be so willing to listen to you and is so free to be there whenever you need someone to listen to you.

To sidetrack a little, I received my enlistment letter last Thursday and I was shocked when I saw the date. I won't say when in my blog but it will be a long time before I go in. So I got to plan what to do during this period. Most likely I will be getting a job. But for now, it is still mugging for As for me.
