There is definitely a time when one has HAD enough of a place. These are my last days (so to speak) in UAE and I've been getting this "over with it" feeling about places within it for some time. It started on a smaller scale, when I did not feel going to places that I had 'used' - places I would earlier go to enquire about prices and compare features of the various items that I needed to buy. Whereas earlier I would head to these outlets with anticipation and excitement, now, after having bought whatever I wanted to, these places seem just ordinary. No special meaning anymore. No Anticipation. No Excitement.

I realize its the same way about the whole place. I was born here and shall definitely have an attachment to the place, especially this city, all my life. But thanks mostly to the job and partly to my inquisitive nature, I believe I have seen almost everything there was to see in the whole of the country. I doubt if I could see anything more that would not be unimpressive. That would make me feel like it was worth the time. Or the resources (more on that later). It most definitely seems like the time to move on.

On resources: "Resources" is the key word in life. It is the potential/life/blood in you. It is what YOU have to improve things. To make life better. Every step we take, every task we undertake, every obstacle we overtake, we need to realize whether the resources consumed in it were worth it. Resources are finite. We need to keep stock of them.
