Yes, the personal space, a space of our own; a space in time and moment that we want
for ourselves alone. A space that we want to be independence of anyone else. A
moment in time that we want to jealously guard as our own and we have the right
to have one; that special personal space in time. As I journey on in life
and getting there in my golden years, I yearn to have that personal space more
and more and slowly and surely, I am getting there. It is not that easy, and I
believe with perseverance and patience I would eventually get there. It does
not mean that I want to be alone all the time. It is not that. I love to be
with my loves one but that sometimes I do really need my own personal space. A
time that I could dreams, whilst away in the clouds, contemplate, flirt in my
mind and wonder of all the possibilities, to be able to spend time with friends
on my own and on my own choice, without being subjected to other people reaction, want to be able to do my things my way. The way I like it during that special
space in time. From the time we were born we have been subjected to live with
others and subjected to be living in a common space in time. We are subjected to
the rules and regulation that are made for us and that we are not being involve in
the making it. We are program to believe in certain value and norms and we are
expected to go on believing in it whether we like it or not. In a way we are
subjected to live and conform with the values and norms of our parents and our
own culture. If not, we would not be allowing to live comfortably in the
society. Personally, I think this is wrong. We are human with individual brain
and such we should be our own self always. Of course, with should conformed
with the society rule and regulation as far as civil society is concerned but
at the same time, we should be allowed to live our own life as we like. When I
was living in the States some years ago. I found that I am freer to live as I
like although I am a foreigner. I believe this should be the way forward.
Making everyone happy and able to contribute constructively to the country and
the world at large. We would not have all the new inventions and all the new
discoveries if we are not allowing to think and venture on, on the belief that
there are better place and things in the future. Had it not been for that
freedom of thinking, we would not be able to communicate like we do now...i.e.
the internet. All the new happening and inventions did not just happen. I
believe it is because we were allow that personal space in time, to think and
to take that risk and venture on.That makes our world a better place to live
and enjoy life. In another front, if we want to makes our marriages life
successful and achieve all those dreams together, we have to respect each
other, especially in the aspect of giving each other that freedom of having a
personal space in time, from time to time. It is only with the understanding
that we are all individual and have the need of that personal space that make
life so wonderful. And like I often said, it would be colourful as well....My
friends that is life, have fun and enjoy life.
Have
a nice day.
