After all

I might just be able to keep on blogging well after I have been dismissed from my job. I have enabled my phone so that I can send blogs through it. Maybe my blogs then will be more interesting as I relate how my job search will be going-assuming I will be able to afford the airtime credit. Anywho, that aside.

I recently read two of Paulo Coelho's books 'Like the flowing river' and 'The Zahir'. They really touched me. I have read a number of his books before and the one that touched me the most was 'Veronica decides to die' followed by 'The Zahir'. These two books had an impact on me because I can directly relate to them. Ever since I can remember I have wanted to be 'mad', a subject the two books talk about. I have always wanted to do things differently, you know, veer off the road and go wandering into the bush. Why? Because I believe we were not created to be automatons. Life is short and too important for me to live my life doing what other people have done simply because the damn society dictates that that is what I should do!

Think about it, really think about it. Most of what we do, we do because that is what has been done by those who have precceded us. Can you imagine what the world would be like now if all the inventers had never thought of veering from the beaten track. We would still be using horns and smoke (which are discoveries actually) to communicate!

I believe we are all meant to leave a mark. To do something different, somehing unique. That is why I choose the path of madness.
