transition

This is what I told myself when I got back some of my results

" suck it up, and move forward "

Sure, not very satisfying so far, but no point dwelling in the past or feeling inferior over the results of those who did better than you.
You yourself are aware of the amount of effort you put in, in comparison to those people, so no complain should be made.
It's the last lap now, focus is everything I need.

To PP, thanks for th breakfast this morning..Take care in Seattle and don't forget us ^^

So I met up with a couple of those peeps this morning and managed to discover another opportunity I could take on in the future. Medecins Sans Frontieres. Similar to something I want to do, so I'm just reading a bit and will just hang that on the list for now :)

On my way back, some random thoughts infiltrated my mind, as usual.

I happened to think about how too much of something, something you enjoy, might be bad. There are many ways we can define 'bad' . For instance, desensitization. And this is a pretty much common aspect that we experience in this modern, fast-paced world. Since everything is so easily obtained, it's not much of an effort to sustain the desire for that something anymore and people start taking it for granted. Haha. I figured, it all can be summed up in 3 steps.

First step is the Encounter. This is the meeting point where subject 1 meets subject 2. Where subject 1 is a person/animal/any random beings and subject 2 is another person/animal/object/random beings.

Second step is the Obsession. After the encounter, subject 1 started developing an obsession over subject 2. Obsession happens when subject 1 is constantly haunted by a desire and fixation for subject 2. There can be many reasons for a fixation to occur, but in this case I'm really just referring to an uncanny desire and liking for something. One simple example to illustrate this is sugar-craving. You get that strong urge for sweet treats despite being a sugar tooth or now. That happens now and then, doesn't it? So this obsession usually compells subject 1 to want to experience multiple engagements with subject 2. This prolonged engagements are what lead us to step 3, Desensitization.

Desensitization. And hey, in general term, desensitization might not necessary be a bad thing. Multiple interactions with a phobia leads to desensitization that will inevitably reduce the fear and anxiety towards that certain phobia one had. But again, my context here is desensitization that occurs when subject 1's constant interaction with subject 2 eventually reduces the initial excitement in step 1. This is the whole point of my thought process. When too much on an engagement is something that you really like will make you take that for granted and reduces its meaning for you. So this is just another one of my random, pointless thoughts, and it does not necessarily be true for all situation. I mean, sometimes even when P1 is true and Pk is true, does not mean that Pk+1 is true. HAHA!
