Gliding through with eternal flame, who will keep it sane? Rooted on the ground, watching over all year round

Very tenacious and danger prone person, don't come near me, will pull you down or unfortunate events will befall, whichever is earlier.

I know what i want, has my own set of rules and tend to think 3 steps ahead. checkmate!

People say that i think simple, thats what i want them to think or perhaps whats what i am. Things tend to be simple when u have your own rules and mindset, don't you think so?

I like to get things done, and believe that the best way to do so is to do it by yourself. I only believe myself.

I perfer to think problems I encountered as a kind of game or performance, with me being the spectator asking both the players, 'what will you do?'. Things are much easier to solve if you are not involved, and the process is much more enjoyable, doesn't it?

Like maths, hate politics. Maths is the only thing that seems logical nowadays. Somesay politics is a kind of maths, mathematically speaking.

I only hesitate when i'm uncertain of being able to complete the task perfectly. And in a way, creating more problems by not trying. That is something i'm working on, hopefully.

I only hang around with people i feel comfortable with, and will not even talk to those otherwise... unless it is necessary for me to achieve my goals that is.

Someone once said,'curiosity doesn't kill the cat, boredom will'. Thats why when i feel like doing something, i'll do it, in my own pace that is.

Live dangerously with me... ...

emperor's new clothes

For no reason, i've been thinking about the story of the emperor's new clothes these few days.

The story was about an emperor who wanted to wear a something special to show his people, that was when 2 trickers came in and to make a new clothes for him using materials so light and can only be seen by clever people. Of course, the emperor couldn't see any clothes as there was no clothes made at all. While he was showing off his new clothes to his people, a little boy cried out that he was not wearing any clothes at all, that was when everyone started laughing at the emperor.

There are a few things that i don't feel right about this story.
1) if the emperor himself couldn't see the clothes, that means that there bound to be others not able to see the clothes as it "can only be seen by clever people". If that is the case, why did he wear the clothes out in the first place? there confirm to be some not so clever people around in his kingdom.

2) if the boy was the only one who pointed out that the emperor was not wearing any clothes. The emperor or any other people can just say that the boy was not clever, so cannot see the beautiful clothes. Why the people need to change their initial action of praising the clothes to laughing at the emperor ne?

3) even if everybody is laughing at the emperor, it can just be that all of them are not so clever lor. If he have faith in the trickers to make his clothes and choose to believe them in the first place. Why was he embarressed and feel that he was tricked in the end? he could have stick to his own belief and continue to show his new clothes around.

Hence because of that, i feel that the conclusion of the story should be "u know something was wrong then don't do it, you know its right then do it and stick to it. Its sometimes so silly that some people know that it is wrong yet that still continue with it and vice versa."
