Season's Grieving...Happy Three Month "Anniversary"
grieve
v. grieved, griev·ing, grieves
v. tr.
1. To cause to be sorrowful; distress.
2. To mourn or sorrow for.
3. To file an official or formal grievance on account of (an actual or perceived injustice).
4. Archaic. To hurt or harm.
adj : sorrowful through loss or deprivation; "bereft of hope" [syn: bereaved, bereft, grief-stricken, mourning(a), sorrowing(a)]
It's certainly a particularly sad Boxing Day to grieve about...other than my outstanding personal issues (that is also most certainly grieve-inducing). To date, 23,000 lifes has been lost to the horror of the earthquake and its associated tsunami that has hit 10 countries in the South & South-East Asia. It is widely expected that the body count accumulated will be few times more than that. If it's not that tragic, it'll almost be funny that while governments all over the world are preparing to fend off another terrorist's attack at this festive seasons, the nature forces turn up instead, all guns ablazing, at the puny humans as we are. Being associated in the security line, I've personally been involved in one of the rescue mission in Sri Lanka, albeit in a "Behind The Scene" role thousands of miles away from any affected areas, as one of the administrator running the communication. And it is at that moment when I really felt the might of the "Powers That Be", but all I can say, is to quote from one of the greatest movie tagline ever, from the epic movie, "Godfather"... "All The Powers In The World Can't Stop Destiny".
Regardless of the disaster, this entry's gonna be called "Season's Grieving" anyway. It's a personal grieve..as it's a three month anniversary for a certain live-altering event in my life. How do you actually address a "Three Month" Anniversary? No one ever think of that...for the simple reason in what's there to commemorate for three months. Anniversaries are only in terms of years, Silver, Gold, Diamond, so on and so forth...There's nothing to "Anniversary" about for three pathetic little months. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. So you thought? I guessed that's because you've never been through a "three months" that changed you forever. Though I myself still ponder what's there to be happy about when I greeted, "Happy 3 Month Anniversary!" As a matter of fact, it can only sadden me. But I asked myself, if three months of "pain, misery and irony" & "joy, happiness and enlightenment " only accumulated into a result of "Grieving", does it means that throughout the course of the three months, all you felt is "Grieve"? No, not true at all, as the above six emotions, be it pain or joy, it'll stay...and forever it shall remains in my memory, I afraid...
Back to hell...
