war is happening on the other side of the world. people are dying from the SARS virus, and we are screaming for joy becos school has been cancelled. maybe on the more trivial side it would seem all too normal, all too common for us to just rejoice becos school has stopped for a resounding seven days! but in comparison to the bigger things happening out there, arent we all too selfish?

maybe we are, maybe we are not. but i cant help but think about what sleepycow said before about the y=x curve that slowly increases when it reaches its stationary point or sth like that. my curve has been going up, almost to heaven high. maybe i shuld learn to take things a little more seriously. to be a little more wordly and affected by the drastic change of events around the world and to realise that there are actually a hell lot of people on the other side suffering a great deal while we rejoice with such glee and with such joy. let us all learn to be a little more..serious?
