Something on my mind

Thinking of something that I shouldn't have been worrying about. Thinking of another thing that I have no control over. I hate myself for being so weak and wanna be a part of it. I can just shrugged them off my shoulders and go to bed but I just cannot.

And I am so weak that I hate somebody so much but I can't walk up to his door, knock and tell him what I feel. Instead, I can only be here, typing a letter that I know will never reach the destination. In case you are wondering why I am here doing something so silly, here's the letter:

--------------------------------------------
Dear neighbour,

It is with utter disgust that I began this letter with such intimate salutation. Nonetheless, this is out of respect as you belong to the same clan with me staying in this planet with such coincidence. Anyway, the first two sentences of this letter serve no purpose other than to speak with some sarcasm and this sentence serve to point that out to you just in case you just cannot get it.

The main purpose of this letter is to point out to you our difficulties that you have kindly raised to the Town Council and MP for the past few months. We really appreciate your gestures (including slamming the door loudly, taking photos of our door, sending complaint letters to the authority) to indirectly tell us your great displeasure. As an educated Singaporean, I hope to resolve this matter with you in a more mature way.

If you think that we have not been dealing with this matter, you are absolutely wrong. I hope you have realized that that are initially eight young kittens roaming about and currently only two left. We do understand from your perspective that the kittens are causing you much disturbances but please also see things from OUR point of view. We have tried means and ways to find kind owners to adopt the kittens but it just failed.

Unlike many wicked people roaming outside who just want to dump the poor kittens to anybody, we wish to find serious owner who are willing to take good care of the kittens. True, we can call SPCA and get them to put these kittens to sleep. Or just dump them at the coffee shops and get bullied by nonsensical people. But we never. We strongly believe this is not the right value we wish to inculcate to our future generations.

If you have been more observant, you might have notice the tummy of the mother cat, which is unfortunately pregnant again. If you think this is one of our evil plot to take revenge for your absurd actions, I must again point out to you that you are wrong again. We have absolutely no intention to do that to you. We are also greatly disturbed by this. We are currently still on the lookout for cat owners to adopt them. If you, in the most unlikely probability, have such contacts, please do not hesitate to slot it into our mail box or under our door.

If you still cannot get my point after this long letter, please then ignore the top half of the letter and concentrate here:

WE ARE ALREADY LOOKING OUT FOR PEOPLE TO ADOPT THE CATS. SO PLEASE:
1) PLEASE DO NOT SLAM THE BLOODY DOOR AGAIN!
2) PLEASE DO NOT ATTEMPT TO FRIGHTEN THE POOR KITTENS!
3) PLEASE REFRAIN FROM TAKING PHOTOS OF MY DOOR!

In the event that you are boiling mad after reading the letter, I must reiterate that we are not as wicked as you think we are. We are just normal beings who have no wish to incur the wrath of our neighbour. What has had happened is just a result of being at the wrong place, wrong time and dealing with the wrong people. We seek your kind understanding.
--------------------------------------------

Nope. This is only one of it. I am still thinking about another. I need some sleep too!
