"the wheel of fortune" we're stuck in
if you're the angel that keeps trying to make others happy
my theory: if one is saturated completely with the ideology of someone else, when given the smallest bit of freedom and that piece from the outside world that entices them, they would most fervently seek their 'freedom'.
and ive seen it happen in the lives of so many people that its starting to scare me. perhaps it is then true that moderation is essential. yet we're all gripped by fear and no one dares to step out into the unchartered territory which supposedly breeds 'failure'. yet ironically those failures seem to be able to speak of emancipation and joy.
-aside-
i remember being told once that joy and happiness are distinctly different. and ive always wondered if it was some term coined because of expediency's sake.(dictionary.com says joy is exultant happiness, thus showing the 2 as synonymous) and i came to my conclusion. it doesnt matter to me what means what because as long as i know the foundations of my joy/happiness, the terms become interchangable.
(ok im quite sure the last para didnt quite make sense but i'm too lazy to edit it)
then who would make you happy?

just for nick - who made the link between extremists and terrorists
by making the link between extremists and terrorists, i believe we are in fact treading on the wrong path. Firstly, it happens to be coincidental that the recent spate of terrorists attacks had been conducted by extremists. It must be pointed out that terrorists are not always extremists but merely people who seek to incite terror for the fulfilment of their own agenda. I see that you are assuming that these people conduct acts of terror because they are embraced and immersed in an ideology. But arent we all at some point also at the same crossroad as them, though perhaps not in the destructive sense. We all come a point of time (whether we believe it or not) that we are compelled to make a certain decision because of how you've been structured to do so.
[ok at this point i realise im rambling. cos ive lost my train of thought. lol.]
