Peace In Our Time

This is Pulsar speaking

---

When there is peace between brother and sister, serenity reigns between sister and mother. Without the brother blaming the sister for her misguided delinquencies - especially in her studies, sister gradually detaches herself from the distractions that prevent her from working on her goal.

With less pressure and blame, and more understanding on the part of the brother, sister finally finds her drive to focus on her thesis. When efforts are realized, it becomes a source of inspiration for the continuous harmony that abounds in the household lately.

If we only knew that this should be the path we have followed from the very start, then we could have enjoyed the fruits of tranquility much earlier.

August will go down in the annals of this journal as the month when Joms succeeds in finding strange pleasure in being a domesticated person. The weather, and his week-long illness may have been a factor for his temporary detention, but his resolve to avoid the nightlife and other excesses of being too independent is a testament to the success of his social objective.

He may have failed in some of his aims. But when you consider how significant his successes were - especially in forging renewed ties of friendship with his team leader, as well as his improved standing in academics;

And finally, after his efforts in stirring a sense of order and peace in his own homeworld and beyond reaps its unexpected benefits, then I believe that it is safe to conclude that his aims for the month has been well met.

With life getting more and more obnoxious as time goes by, maybe the only way to recoup is to look at it in a less extravagant manner. I've been missing so many good things, simply because I have forgotten how to enjoy it in a less complicated way. Perhaps its time I should give myself a slowdown of things.

So I may see the bigger picture, now that I have more options to look around and enjoy the scene.

- Tide Of August
