We live alternatively in lightness and weight
We live alternatively in lightness and weight. When in lightness - Youth is lightness - we are up there and we escape, like Sabina did, or we condescend, like Wee Shu Min did. Lightness doesn't understand the weight of responsibility.
Wee Shu Min doesn't like complainers, and probably in a semi-comatose moment of eloquence expressed the pathos of certain youthful ideals, that a person's not entitled to anxiety and worries of trivial, mundane, material details of life in the absence of major calamities such as starvation and child prostitution, thereby condemning him for complaining too much.
But she has missed out the weight, the other aspect of life, aside from lightness and sublimity, that makes life worth living. Derek Wee has lived life, or come to live life under weight, and has a different perspective on individual, family and social responsibility. It is not fair for the lightness to accuse the weight of weighing things down if the lightness doesn't understand the weight.
To be light or to be weighted, which is harder? Which is nobler? Which is more significant? Which is more poetic?
I am being and trying both.

The ionic bond forms as a result of giving and taking. The giver has lost a part of itself and thereafter eternally follows the taker, who now possesses the part of itself, much like a virgin whose first heartbeat has been captured. The taker took, and effected new significance in the interaction just like how a neighbour who has borrowed rice from another would be compelled into familiarity with the later. The ionic bond is a bond of violence, reluctance and charged bitterness.
The covalent bond forms as a result of sharing. It's not a wonder that covalent bonds are generally stronger than ionic bonds.

To be light is of course to be carefree and easy-going. However, satisfaction can come only from weights and responsibilities, IMHO.
