In this post, I’m merely replying to somebody. Apologies to the other readers who may not have any idea of what’s going on.

Here it goes…

Firstly, let me address the cause of rage spilt forth by you, item by item.

1) My wildfire ambitions and numerous failures

I admit, and do so sincerely, that I have indeed built many castles in the air, with both my own savings and borrowed wealth, over the past years. The majority have been failures, and rest assured I have learnt these lessons of life, the hard way, and have grown from them. It is true that the burden of these failures have affected the family, but they have been paid for in full. If I have thus been a bad example to follow, I apologise.

2) Full of myself

Am I still so full of myself. I doubt so. While I have indeed been the arrogant bastard in the past, I believe such habits have toned down considerably in the recent years. Do also realise that there is only a thin line between confidence and arrogance, and those who have worked with me can testify to the fact that I will only claim and demand things which I can personally deliver.

3) I think I can manipulate people well

I admit I can get spiteful at times, but I sincerely do not think I can manipulate people well. If I really do, then there is no point for me to spend 3k registering for the course and stockpiling all the HR and management books for self study.

4) When I left, that you were burdened with the family’s issues

I ponder over your self righteous claim that that you have been the one solely responsible for holding the family together during the 2 years of my absence. While I do not doubt your contributions during that period, to take sole credit is a little farfetched I suppose.

5) All I know about is my current “contributions”

Firstly, I have never claimed any contribution, and I don’t intend to. And conversely, if you should think that you have contributed tonnes, I would humbly ask you to reflect upon the simple fact that you’re still taking pocket money, and at the very same age I was earning my own keep.

If you feel that it ain’t no fair comparison as I had my military contract then, I must say the contract was also my personal achievement. Or do you really think daddy and mummy spoke to the chief of army to get me the contract?

IN SUMMARY

I do so confess to whatever misdeeds and shortcomings I have brought along with me, that has burdened the family and perhaps in particular, You. Criticise if you deem fit, but know the limit, that those who truly have the right to point fingers are those who have been there and done that.

And if you truly think I have wronged you in any way, about the point of inconsideration, I shall quote the following examples, and may the public eye place its judgement:

- I don’t fine my siblings (FINE as in collect money as punishment), but you do.
- I don’t borrow something and return it spoilt. You do.
- I don’t keep the lights, fan and computer and all electronic devices on, while I doze off, wasting electricity, but you do.
- I don’t blast music without discretion when everyone else is asleep. You do.
- I don’t keep the lights in a room ON, when someone else is sleeping in the very same room. You do.

This list can roll on, but there is really no point. If you feel the need to list out my wrongdoings as a counter, feel free to do so. My point here is simple. Don’t be so consumed by your self-righteousness, to the extent that you can even see a clear image of yourself. Making noble claims of such, while still being utterly dependent on others in so many aspects is, simply, quite laughable.

And finally, what’s with the taunt “Try Me”? While I cannot quite understand why you bear so much hatred towards me, if you are indeed a threat to my existence, or if you sincerely so choose to be, I suppose I will be left with no other choice than to face and curb such hostility. I truly do not wish for such a state to come, but if I finally have to, I assure you no hesitation will be given.
