Astrology, horoscopes, facts or myths? (posted 1/31/07)

It's funny how these things are written sometimes. "Match NOT made in Heaven", "Unlikely allies", "Can be true soulmates". I mean, who writes these stuff? And how come it's so addictive that we just HAVE to read every single horoscopes out there? Well, not quite. But I do find horoscopes somewhat reliable, sometimes. And afterall, it's just fun to discuss with friends. We just want to get to know ourselves better, right?

I think when we meet new people, it's almost as if we are just hungry for information, that we have to dig out anything available on the person... compatibility, luck in the coming year, possible conflicts, fundamental differences... well, it's like a business plan. Sorta like a cost-benefit analysis, whether it's sustainable, enduring, and if it fits our long-term goal. So what's more difficult? Running a business? Or a relationship? Do successful businessmen have great relationships? Doesn't seem so (well, you're gonna ask how I'd define success, and of course I can't give you a good answer on that). Why does it always seem to me, that those with simple lives seem to have successful marriages? If both are too ambitious and are trying to do too much, would they grow apart naturally? Because the wanting goes beyond what the other half could provide in the longer term? What if one party wants too much in life? Is he ultimately doomed for "happily ever after"? And for those who thinks "The One" (no, not Mr. Big Lau) would be the answer to all questions and problems, isn't that a bit risky to put all eggs in one basket?
Well, clearly it's one of those days when I ask stupid questions again... haha.
