Shift in focus, attention, and care...


With the increase in the price of oil, all things seem to be shifting, bit by bit. At one time we care so much about the world, but the question is does the world care about us? Do we really care about what has been reported by CNN, BBC News, and Aljazeera. They talk about the US election 2008, about Israel and their peace iniatives with Hamas, Robert Mugabe and Zimbabwe's inflation rate of 66000 percent. Question is do we care? But do they think we care. Do we? Not anymore. We are shifting our attention to something that is very near to us - our own very survival. But some still do not feel the pinch as yet. They are the one with their old dreams. Soon they would woke up to a very nasty fact of life, today is not yesterday. But there are others who are beginning to shift their focus and attention. Shifting could be in the form of: big house to smaller ones; high rental to low rental; holiday in Paris to holiday in the kitchen; big cars to smaller ones; buying books to reading blogs; and much much more. And on top of that, anything that gives stress and tension are put side for a while or for good. One topic that can cause stress is politic. This is because politic is an art of perfecting nonsense with another nonsense. And when you are at home, just relax and watch movies that can makes you laugh and laugh. Avoid watching news that touch on the sensitivity of price increase. It helps you to think clearly and live longer.

As a responsible husband, make a habitual joke to wife as a form of releasing tension. For a start, try out this joke and see what happen. Wife to her husband, "Why are you always talking about the past?" What the husband says? "Because everything in the past is cheaper and fresh."
