What less is more...

The title seems paradoxical but it's very true indeed.

This past week was quite a turbulence not only to myself but also to the people around me.How?

It certainly kicked off with the Earth Hour movement which happened just last saturday. To me, it's nothing but a good act to remind us the importance of minimising the effect of global warming though it seems kinda "ineffective" and "seasonal" where the whole world only amplify on that hour and day. Yet, never forget that it is a call and not a long-haul campaign to ask the world to conserve energy and all sorts. Such "long-term" lies in our hand and no one can scream and shout at us if we ourselves being ignorant and don't practice it at home.
With more and more critics, debates and arguments on the Earth Hour issue, we will not get anywhere near to save the electricity bill in our own home, what is more in saving the planet. Sometime, it doesn't harm doing something that doesn't harm. Please don't just criticise others' good causes or intentions although we may have tonnes of good and intellectual reasons and the right to do so. As the saying goes, "tepuk dada tanya selera". What have ourselves done instead apart from criticising and and discouraging others?
It's not that we should be quiet and not expressing our viewpoints as we certainly can't do that in this democratic world rite? I am also now expressing my own point of views. However, in some situations which are intentionally good, we should just let it be. We may be different in the way of conduct but we are aiming the same goal aren't we? Sometime, less is more.

This is not only subjected to that issue but other matters in life too.

So happen on that same day, something very minor also happened in the place where I am currently at. A small glitches resemble a "match-fire" had turned into a "forest-fire" just because there are some of us don't want to let it be blown off. Assertive is good in some situation but may cause backfire when we go overboard with it. Does it worth to let some petty issues that can be easily solved with a straight talk and some handshakes and lame jokes cost you friendships? Absolutely not. Worst still, other previous conflicts had also been triggered by that. The situation had turn sour not only within a group but the whole lot.
"Little movements" that have been done by a particular person caused disgust among others leading them to condemn and regard it as childish and hypocritical act. There is no point of letting this "fire" continue to spread. It is not a problem at all if we could just adopt the "sudahlah" attitude and let it be. Sometimes in life especially between human to human relationships, we should just let some issue or conflicts diminish no matter how right that we think we are. There's is no need to applaude the negative cascade effect that bring about by us to others as no one will gain anything in the end. Sometimes, Newton's Third Law of Motion just don't apply in human relatinships. Again, less is indeed actually more.
Peace.

Well, there are other minor turbulences that happened as well but I'll just let them be. Let's us sooth our emotions now by enjoying the song, "Let it Be" by Beatles.
Cheerio.

When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom
Let it be

And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right it front of me
Speaking words of wisdom
Let it be

Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom
Let it be

And when the broken hearted people
Living in the world agree
There will be an answer
Let it be

For though they may be parted
there is still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer
Let it be

Let it be, let it be
Let it be, yeah,let it be
there will be an answer

Let it be Let it be,

Whisper words of wisdom
Let it be

Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom
Let it be
And when the night is cloudy
There is still a light that shines on me
Shine until tomorrow
Let it be

I wake up to the sound of music
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom
Let it be

Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
There will be an answer

There will be an answer
