Pillowsophy No. 4 - The Value Box

Pillowsophy - thoughts that run as I lay my head and stare at the darkness of the ceilings trying to fall asleep.

I don’t why, but it’s been a while since I wrote anything. Maybe I’m too lazy, maybe I’m too busy. Maybe it’s all excuses. But I think I didn’t even try. It’s just that I don’t have a purpose to write anything. Without a purpose it is all useless. A purpose with no value is also useless. But then, what is value? Maybe value is something that is set up in our minds. And we set a value for things which connects to us on different levels. The value of things to one individual from another will of course varies and sometimes tallied. Put a million price tag on something that do not serve a purpose to a person, then the thing will be of no value to him. So a purpose is always of some value I guessed. Maybe not to others but still a value indeed.

But sometimes we do things automatic or in other words auto reflex. There will always be a reason or purpose for those actions. And maybe the purpose is set by our own habits or a pre-set behavior by our body as a method of protections.

I guessed sleep is automatic. The body set a purpose for resting and the system obeyed. But some people would struggle for sleep and having a hard time to fall asleep. Maybe we can’t force automatic functions. It will come naturally. But does writing come naturally? I guessed not. It’s not automatic too. Excuse my ramblings here. I just type whatever that comes cross my mind right now. It maybe will contain no value of what so ever to you. Haha.

Oh, yesterday I Pos Laju a birthday gift to my friend in KL. Anyway, I bought her a Diana Krall Dual CD/DVD album. I also bought a box to put the CD inside ‘coz I hate wrapping gifts. Turn out the box or rather the CD doesn’t fit the box. I tried squeezing it in and managed to close the box but with an uneven lid closed. Nevertheless it was mailed. I could on the other hand buy a new box or just send the CD on it’s own but I like the box, it’s so nice and lovely.

So it made me think that, sometimes in life we could not fit in to something, something we like, something beautiful. But if we try and try and find ways, maybe we could make it. We’ll make do with the results even if it is slightly not perfect. Most important thing is we achieved the goal. And now the box served its purpose as a gift carrier. It has value.

Oh, she rang me this morning saying thanks and told me that I forgot to take off the price sticker on the CD. Shit! I forgot. But anyway, I guessed the value of the CD to her should be higher than the price shown on the sticker. I sensed it and I truly am confident. And it won’t matter if I forgot to peel it off right? Hehe..
