What's an Ass?
Can someone tell for sure?
I used that on a woman
And her man threatened to sue
A slip of tongue
This I'd swear
Uttered under provocation
From the woman I called an Ass
She demanded an apology
And I duly said, "Sorry"
But she pushed the envelope
"For what?" the vixen wanted to know
"Sorry," I said with deliberation
"For calling you an Ass," I obliged with muchregretglee
"What?" she could hardly believe her ears
And I echoed again, what she wanted to hear
The husband turned to me
Accusing me of being sarcastic
This, I'd agreed
That was because I was angry
Angry at the woman
And mostly, angry at me
How did this scene blow up?
It's so unlike me
I turned
And slowly skated away
There's just no end to this ugly play
Cooler heads should have prevailed

Chris, I like your 3 H's, not in any particular order of merit - your haugtiness, you humour and your honesty. So your readers (and the whole world) now know that the 'CS' I was referring to in my blog entry here did not mean civil servant, Chun See or even colleague skater, but Chris Sim. LOL.
I think there's a 4th H somewhere.... Did u forget "Humility"? I said sorry not once, not twice, buth THREE times... But that donkey was still far from being satisfied .... Sigh.
hahaha.... so Victor was refering to you!
You still think she is an ass.
Yalor. Chris wasted all my effort in protecting the guilty, I mean the aggrieved party.
There was this Japanese Aikido expert trying to find an opportunity to put his martial art to good use, but unable to do so. Each time an opportunity arose, he found that kind soothing words or apologies from him or other people, would settle heated and sticky situations. From Chris unhappy incident, it is noted that the level of consideration for others, has still a long way to go in Singapore.
It will take people like Zen to attain world peace. Chun See has a way of rationalising unreasonable behaviour, if I may say so. He puts the blame squarely on life stress. I agree, but only partially. I suppose we could use more tolerence when dealing with fellow human being. People flare up at the most minor incidents. Of course, that includes me. I'm so humble, am I not? LOL.
World peace is almost impossible just based on common sense logic. Why I say this ? Since the beginning of mankind up to now, have there been a period where there is total peace and goodwill among all nations?. This state of affair would probably continue to the distant future. Basing on the yin yang principle, when there is light and there is also darkness... and so on. Logically when there is peace there is also war, existing side by side. Remember the saying: " Make peace and prepare for war". This is the nature of things. Pardon my simplistic reasoning which may offend some many people.
Zen, what you said makes lot of sense.
How can there be peace, if there is no war?
How can there be light when there's no darkness?
Can one know happiness without first knowing pain and sadness?
If there is a God, then there must be a Devil
So many anti-thesis we could rattle off ....
The Chinese used to say: "First we should use courtesy and failing which force is to be considered". In politics, it means that after exhausting all diplomatic efforts, the last resort (no choice) is force. But force is just an empty threat, if one is unable to carry out. Take for example, if I am threatened physically by a gangster, and I try to reason things out with him, but fail. Physically I am unable to tackle him, then how ? In other words, if a person wants to resort to force, he should be in a position of strength. Similarly,this type of scenerio, or dilema is faced by many small countries, particularly like Singapore, which is called a red dot by some countries.
