There's something sinister

about this particular year end season for 2009. Somehow, people are starting to draw up lines demarcating their own personal space too clearly which results in incompatible desires and the reduced will to compromise, leading to lots of relations breakdowns.

It's really terrifying to think that, with all our free will and dynamic nature, large swathes of us can be silently but surely coaxed into becoming more assertive of our personality and less tolerant of others - and actually finding very very good philosophical reasons for being like that. It seems that with a flick of the weather we could all be induced into doing lots of strongarmed stuff without much thought to sensitivity and tact.

In drawing clear lines to mark your own personal space as a product of your inner strength and personality, you unwittingly become exactly similar to those who made you angry and bitter in the first place. Because what they did was to also define which groups of people they wish to hold on to ultimately - and maybe you didn't happen to fall into this circle. And so what you do is to create your own circle with multiple safeguards to prevent anyone, anyone on the face of this world, to take these new relationships you've found away from you - a form of jealous guarding of your own security blanket you'd be so nakedly bare without.

Because of this sinister turn of events, many people are going to feel lonely and left behind, not because they're not exciting people, but because they don't think it's right to actually deadlock people to yourself just for your own selfish personal preservation.

Just like how the Christmas season so becomes.
