here is a statement that you would not here very often from me, but thank God it is friday - i am totally dead (after sleeping very little last night - it was raining very heavily, and as the windows here are pretty much made out of paper thin glass it gets noisy..- i finally managed to get up ..), wow what a week, what a day, and what a stay... not in my wildest imagination would i have believed that i would do what i am doing right now - how fun is life, you think you have it figured out, only for it to turn everything up-side-down on you..i think it was John Lennon that said "life is what happens to you, while you are busy making other plans".. - and isnt that just so true, have you ever been in the situation that you thought you had everything ready and prepared, only for life to stick its head out and change the rules of the game, well i have, if you havent had this feeling, watch it - because it might happen any time soon :-)
so here is a thought, and i will ask you to do something that i normally dont do, and that is to reflect and give me your opinions (if you feel like sharing..) a couple of days ago, i started a conversation / discussion on a forum (as i wanted to hear opinions from people i dont know..), my question that i raised was "can people change"? i have heard a lot of interesting comments, opinions, input, ideas etc - a lot of great stuff ... i cant however say i have heard "the" answer yet, but here is why i asked the question, long ago before coming to slovakia - i lived in Quito - Ecuador, i also lived in Serbia and Bosnia, with those experiences and exposures to a culture that was soo different from my own i believe i did change, i believe i matured a lot, started thinking in a different way.. Now i have lived in slovakia for 8 - 9 years, and i started feeling like i didnt change and / or evolve anymore, and i was starting to think that i all in all didnt change from the first point, that i merely matured .. - this caused a lot of internal debate on this "change" issue, i finally ended up leaving this topic for sometime, until the "impossible" happened - i get send to India ..
Now in India - i have been forced to "change" or adjust a lot of things i normally do in Slovakia, i have learned to accept a lot of different things - all in all i have started to consider once again, if we change or just become more "flexible", more adaptable, able to adjust faster .. - and once again i am not sure i know what i believe in.. of course i want to believe i can change, to become more, to become better, to become faster .. but is it realistic or merely a silly childish though... - whats your thoughts ? if any ..
p.s. sorry for the "tricky" post on a friday .. - i know you most likely will prefer to have weekend with your love ones, and that i understand, so go and enjoy your weekend, and when you are back, i will still be here..
