Your Word

This post deals with an issue I have always thought about and on which one Mrs Rand had/has (dono alive or not) strong opinions too....

What is the value of one's word nowadays?

Bemused? Amused? Unmoved?

Well lemme explain. Right from strangers (eg. politicians ..... papachi elru baythaare avrna).... to ppl with whom u live/interact daily, everybody knows how to make a claim or a statement or a promise but don't know how to live upto it. I know this is a rather too weak an argument made over n over for centuries together by now but what i do not understand is when they make that stmt/claim do they not ANALYZE their own stmt they are making and hence are at fault unintentionally (lets see abt that!) or are just saying some fucking piece of shit jus to get away from you? (oh these ppl deserve a free entry to a firing line)

Look at some examples I have collected (ppl reading this, these are real world examples that i've encountered and i dont care)

"Yeah lets have a trip next time no coffee day meet"

"I'll be there in another ten minutes"

"Yeah sure we'll go to that movie tomorrow"

"I only need to use this for next half an hour"

"It'll take no time to go there.... just around the corner"


............... many more

Now i feel WHAT the fuck is the problem for people to RIGHTfully TRUTHfully say "I need this for (not HALF HOUR) but for the entire day"..... "It'll take approximately 1 hr to go there... its some 10 K from here" etc etc.... Atleast u dont kill a part of urself after LYING like that....

For people who have no malice underneath (why do u think ppl lie? to get their job done right? ), i jus feel they lack estimation ability and should not mess other ppl up with that talent!

Your word is taken seriously and is valued by ppl.... Unless u dont want other ppl to STOP doing that, watch ur tongue !

Madness comes and madness goes

"Ladies and gentlemen of the jury,
Have you reached a verdict?

Yes, we have Your Honour, we find the defendant guilty!
On all counts for crimes against all humanity.

By virtue of the jury's decision and the power
Vested in me by the state I hereby sentence you to be
Incarcerated with no possibility of parole for life

Life?...Whadda ya mean life?...I ain't got a life"


Hmm good point he makes eh? The way it has been said in "Captive Honour - Megadeth" puts the point across even more effectively cos its very taunting!

Easy

"If i could change i would take back the pain i would
Replace every wrong move that i made i would
If i could stand up and take the blame i would
If i could take all the shame to the grave...."

Its hard to fathom how Linkin Park came up with this shit (no no i mean the 'good n amazing' usage of shit)...
