A MALAY PROVERB




"KARAM DILAUT BOLEH DITIMBA,
 KARAM DIHATI SUDAH SEKALI"

The first line is talking about a boat which is shipwrecked. Though it is a grave misfortune, the situation can still be remedied. But the shipwreck of the human heart is final and not possible to be remedied."

Life is full of uncertainties.There are inumerable situations where the "karam dihati" can take place.Well. having spent a reasonable time here on planet earth,in quite a number of social circles,and a  silent observer of the monkey behaviour of  both the male and the female species, there is some truth in the observations of prominent psychologists- most notable Dr. Maxtwell Maltz & Sigmond Freud- "NO EXPECTATION-NO DISAPPOINTMENT!!"   It is better and indeed to think with one's head than with ones heart.Do no play the "intense feeling" guy.Be detached - and you can laugh when anybody plays hard to get. Lets others be entangled- you head the other way.Sail well, my  friend,life is short- no time to brood because "karam dihati atau pun dilaut!!!".   Vijay- The Midnight Owl
