New Year.

....Aaaand New Year has come.

It's quite a let down that I had to spend the New Year's Eve still in the clutch of sickness, but we can't always get what we want, right?

Actually, that's one of these three invaluable lessons I have learned the previous year, those supposedly ordinary lessons that people may always hear now and then, but those that I have just realized with full awareness now:

1. that what you want isn't always what you need, and vice versa;
2. what is painful doesn't always wrong, and what is pleasant doesn't always right; and
3. that morality is embedded deep down in our gene, with its most primal reference is that of emotion.

Those were what 2013 has taught me, and taught me hard.

So this new year is here; I must get ready lest I will miss upcoming lessons, and they will hit me hard again. I'm just a man that always trying to make some sense of his life, that's all.

It cost no one nothing; but me and my naivety.
