Surprise
Alright, so yesterday I said to Kee:
"People just take Valentine's to be so important, tomorrow no one will find it special in any way."
And lo and behold, the bloody total defence siren! =P
Am I a genius or what? Actually, jks. (=
So does anyone really value total defence(NO Propaganda guarantee), compared to something one day before it? Besides a long speech by dr. ong, and a whole PC lessons spent on it, what actually makes one realise that this is an important day?
It not being an important day for some people doesn't mean it's not important for everyone. To each his own, whether he or she likes it or for whatever reason.
So let's think, if one day you're walking down the street and you see someone (don't care whether you love or hate, or never even see the person before) just in front of you and suddenly the person just gets caught in a small bomb and blows up into pieces. Would that day be important for you then? Especially if it's someone you value, it won't be easy letting go, but there's nothing that will change the way of the situation. Everyone has to lose someway in the end. But what matters not is getting perfectness, but how you learn from your losses.
So yeah, really, no amount of talk, how good or how bad, will make someone who doesn't think 15Feb is an important day, not because of total defence. Only something that happens will completely change the situation and everyone, dead or alive will come to the conclusion...
That each passing day is as important as it's former, latter, and itself. (=
So how important do you deem it to be?
