Of possessions, pi and pawns

It is not at all uncommon for humans to associate happiness with material wealth, social status and position.
After all, possessing these tangibles are probably the life goals of some people, in their pursuit of happiness.
You might think that you own a job, a car or a house but is it mutual?
The job, the car or the house probably does not regard you as their owner.
No matter how much material wealth accumulated, how high the social status or position, nothing can stay with us forever.
Attachment to these tangibles will only bring anguish and grief one day when they are lost.
Often, how long we can hold on to them is unpredictable and of external control.
If we had never regard them as ours to begin with, there will be no sense of loss when circumstances forces us to give them up.
Hence, shouldn't people channel more energy to things are in their own internal control?


On a less serious note, life of pi is awesome.
With astounding nature scenes and an atypical storyline peppered with easy humour, there's nothing not to like about it.
Movie pace is just right, neither too draggy nor too fast that you can't enjoy the scenic views.
A shipwrecked survival journey told through the eyes of a small boy, there's nothing like it, not even robinson crusoe.


Being a pawn has it pros.
When all you can do is to follow, it leaves much more room for the brain to decrypt the motives of others and be awed by their swift, untraceable moves.

The enemy has long plotted and started the battle.
It's time for the pawns to move forward in unity and fearlessly.
Do it now or never.
