Three Zero

Somehow, this 2 little simple numericals seem to get lotsa sensitivity lately. You can bet your money on it.

A fellow blogger had lamented on her hitting the big three -- three zero -- real soon (in a few more days). I remembered I did hit the panic button when I was to reach that point. Did the same when the fourth button was well within touch. In fact, the richter scale inched up. So, I bet there will be earthquake when the big five approaches.

So, what's the deal with three zero?

It is the number in your bank account (in any order).

It is just another number in your report card (of any kind).

It is the time you spend heart and soul to learn another soul.

It is the longest you may ultimately wake up to find you are not alone in this world. Or rather, the best you stay a hermit.

It is the reality that dawns upon you that you are redundant and no longer belong to the tribe.

So, what if you have many other three zeroes in life? The past is a stamp: not to be erased with mutiny. Today is the present of the past. Tomorrow is the embrace of today.

What is so difficult about embracing that? Pride? Ego? How much are they worth? I am totally dumbfounded.

Thus, three zero can be anything under the sun. It is for me to know, for you to find out. Oh, just a little reminder: the truth may be too much to stomach.

p/s 1. Well, your trusty old blog is still the best. You won't get your comment(s) deleted, especially by some one with negative intelligence or perhaps cowardice. Oh yeah, I must remember they are not of the same league.

p/s 2. I don't use bombastic and grandiloquent words. However, I do believe it may prove insufferable to some. Hence, if comprehension tantamounts to climbing Mount Everest, just get lost.
