Clouds in My Coffee

I have been contemplating on things right now. Some of the clear realizations I have come up with are the following: A lot of people look for issues and wonder why they have issues. People become too dependent to a lot of people when they can not depend on themselves. Politics is inevitably everywhere: at school, in the office, even in research and music. So deal with politics effectively. Most people have a wide blind area (johari window) and many people around them do not give a damn.

I'll probably pick up my violin and play a hardly sweet tune. But thank you to those who remember. I'm glad that people around me celebrate birthdays as they celebrate mine today. Perhaps birthdays are for social, not personal, purposes.
