I've recently gotten hooked up on this show called '24'. It's just simply amazing. The plot is always full of twists and surprises. There's always something new coming out of it. And it's always emotional. The story is dealing with government and stuff but although it's all high-tech and classified and all those secrecy, there's still touches of humanity in it. It just makes the plot more real.
And watching it makes me think about life. It's like this story revolves around the matter of trust. It's who you can trust and who you can't. And I don't know but I've never thought of life that complicated until you can't trust the person right next to you. It's not that you don't want to but it's just you can't. And there's this sickening unsure feeling in you. You don't know what to do. There's circumstances and issues and complications. And you have to think on your feet. Have back up plans in case the original one backfires or something. And yet you still have to go ahead and still trust people because you have to do what's right and not let anything else gets in the way of that because you have to make critical decisions and millions of people's lives depend on those decisions.
And here I am. Taking a lot of things for granted. I'm ready to scream 'give me a break!' when I'm loaded with work and when my mum pesters me on something. But when you talk about people's lives. When you talk about dealing with the future. The unknown. Anything can happen.
And when you talk about relationships, friendships and bonds. And it just matters how much you trust someone. You need to have good bond between people. And this bond doesn't take overnight to be strong. It takes time to build and more importantly, you do need it to be strong cos during crisis, those are the people you turn to. I can't help but think of yearmates and other friends that I have. And the fact that sometimes, I do expect them to be there to help me. But the question is, how much have I help them? With things, I don't know, just stuff..that they need help with.
And also with a strong bond, with trust and also of course, there comes love. Love for the friends you've known. And it's love that secures you. That makes you feel safe and at home. Love is what makes you willing to do anything for that person you love. And you won't regret it because you trust that person. And that person trusts you. And most importantly, you trust yourself. You know you're doing the right thing. You've never been more sure in your life.
