Its kind of emotionally devastating to have to make choices sometimes...knowing that everything depends on you, your choice and yet there is that dilemma of right and want.
Is there some form of compromise or is life all about absolutes?
'The use of questions highlights the sense of uncertainty in the poet'. Now I know how Boey feels... I may identify with his feelings but not his logic.
The upheaval of emotions welling up, brimming right to the top of the throat. Is there some way to push down all these emotions, grit your teeth and just do what is right even though you may not be happy? Is there some way to ignore emotions and view things objectively?
'The use of questions repeatedly highlights the sense of desperation and increasing tension in the poet' That refusal to conform, yet that need to. Or maybe its not even conformity, its just really something good disguised.
haiya... that's the consequences of too much lit and nostalgic poets and authors who are much too critical about life.
I shall grit my teeth and do it.
