the sociological imagination.
history and autobiography.
for the most intriguing of modern disciplines, the tepid besotment with what is in past tense dismays me!
it is not who we were that matters, but what we make of our future.
and how we make ourselves makes our future!
the lessons of history may still await our proper learning - as always.
but the throbs and pulses of today already begin foretelling our tomorrows!
do we reminisce for the sake of misty eyes?
do we harp on ages-old regrets for the sake of brooding and sulking?
while the exhiliration of taking the next breath can scarcely penetrate our flexing psyches!
the heart beats not for aching has beens - but for the hope of what can be.
so let us march forward.
maju-lah, Singapore!
