Swish Swish



Timing is such an interesting thing, it really can change the tide in a heartbeat.

"They know what is what

But they don't know what is what

They just strut

What the fuck?"


"Swish, swish, bish

Another one in the basket

Can't touch this

Another one in the casket"


There are so many ways to interpret this song.

For left, or for right? Or for both? How about for three? Nicki was there too - comes and goes as she pleases but always pick the right side for that time! Why not four? What about the audience?


My last post finished with the word what would you choose. Which is why this song came at the right time again. If the spiritual world exists, do you think you will get to choose which side? Think about this sentence again: "They don't want that, so they hate that. Then they become the other side, that they once hate, so do they want that, or don't they want that?".

In this current society, I think at times, people are reacting too quickly because of pressure built up, past experience, not wanting to get hurt, therefore, our defence mechanism is on high alert. Once we are in such state, it is really hard to get out, and even harder to look for good in anything. And that's not just it, it always turn our good abilities off, even stop thinking altogether, pretty much like when care factor is low!


If we don't consider the other side, naturally the benefit of the doubt goes. Trust goes. But someone may say, oh we have evidence.... we have proof..... that is exactly where it trips you. With internet, a lof time, we post different contents and we may even have our remark, opinion uploaded. That is fine to me, but also pointing out the importance of working out what is "facts", what is "truth", and whether it is something that we can even "judge" with no additional information, or perhaps it is something that we can put into a bucket, "I don't know enough - therefore no judgement and no comment?".


In the court of law, there is something like Cross Examination by an Accused.

The purpose of cross-examination is to challenge the evidence of the witness. By asking questions of the witness you should try to point out what you think is wrong in their evidence or where their evidence may differ from your version of events and you should try to establish doubt.

This is easier said than done. But anything closer to that, may just reduce another unnecessary argument in our society. And knowing just that, may just open up more unknown and all of a sudden, becomes not knowing, so do you know what you know, or you know enough, so you don't know?!


PS: The accused can't defend himself / herself, if it isn't talked about directly and communicated in a way he/her can understand. Next time a weapon is raise, ask yourself, why do you need your weapon anyway? Why did you feel like you need to do something like that? In the end, if you ask yourself enough and truthfully, no one really can find the reason.


In my life - too many things I could have explained but never got a chance to. The build up inside, I cope it day by day. Talking out loud isn't useful when context and the platform isn't established. I could have waved a weapon but I choose not to because it has no meaning. But I do question why I have to live and suffer. I wonder if Avicii had the same thought before he goes. If that isn't a form of love, I don't think the other side could ever be.
