Last time i published any post was quite some time ago i guess... havent been doin much lately besides reading, watching an anime series and school as usual... oo...yeh and have been trying my very hardest to contact a couple of frens... well... i guess they too are busy with school and all... can't blame them for going to school rite.... can't wait for all the new movies to come... davinci code, X-men3, M-I3, and so on... all coming out in may... well thr goes another 50 bucks...haihz... i guess thats coming out from my weekly allowance...
The seed...The seed is a necessity to the lives of those who roam upon this enchanted lands of humanity... This seed is so imense that it could be heard from far away in space... This seed of which I speak of does not involve the budding of plants or the sprouting of crops but the blooming of ones character... The sprouting of ones attitude... The beginning of a personality...
(now, back to the language of the rather common people)...A seed... a seed has to be planted in every one of our hearts as we were once infants and toddlers... all of which is then, now and will be originates back to the long-ago planted seed... This very same seed is not identical to our brothers', sisters' or friends'... these seeds are similar to seeds of varied plants... and just as a rose may bloom slower than a sunflower, a man's true personality blooms at different times, rates and velocity as his fellow mortals... This seed is planted in us by our parents, by our brothers and sisters.... by God... when we were too young to acknowledge reality... However, experience is needed to nurture and grow this very seed of life... This seed is not just limited to words, it is extended to experiences; emotional and physical... That is why Alexander GrahamBell invented the phone(deaf mother)... That is why Gandhi turned to be who he is(poverty and harsh experiences)... heck, that is why Hitler turned out to be a Nazi leader(harsh childhood)... and that is also why I am who I am... Parents, brothers, sisters, family, friends have all once planted seeds in our very minds and hearts... the very same seeds which grow in a matter of years or even months...
However(theres always a however), these seeds cannot be interpreted as an excuse of the person which sprouts out of it... Life is what you make of it... The seed planted is only a guide-line to life... the rest, the watering and the fertilizing is up to the owner... The seeds do not determine a man's life... Hitler for example... he had grown to be a man of such anger, outrage and enmity which inflames his very heart with discrimination and antagonism... His harsh childhood became an excuse for his deranged mentality... He wasn't born to be harmful... he was just mislead somewhere along the lines of his life... Gandhi, on the other hand took his harsh experiences and turned it into a reason to strive and help those who have experienced the life of his own... to bring the suffering of his fellow brothers to a standstill through peace...

Love Thy Neighbor
Gone through quite a few days without publishing any posts now... and frankly, I really miss it... Being busy cannot stand as an excuse for me not to blog as I wasnt even busy... however, i have been doing a little thinking lately.... about life and God, our creator... So for those who are easily offended by religious posts... please excuse me and ignore this blog if you want to... I hope I do not get too much into religion...
I have been reading this christian novel...as surprising or unreal as it may seem, it is true... This novel has actually got me thinking once again... thinking of issues which concern me and all of man-kind in fact... It is stated in the bible that "you shall love thy neighbor as yourself"(second greatest commandment) ... this phrase has probably surpassed the ears of many of us commoners before... but.... but how many of us actually register this statement of truth in our corrupt minds?? how many of us actually apply this phrase in our daily lives of senseless pollution?? how many of us actually... and i mean truly grasp the depth of this statement... It is stated as the second greatest commandment for a pure and simple reason actually...
And this reason remains simple even till this very day... despite the arisings of complications... This statement attains its rank from its caliber... the importance of this statement explains it all...I for one, believe the very words of this phrase is actually the answer to the ultimate question... How do we attain worldpeace??? With the adoption of this statement in our everyday lives, peace will not have to be an issue of distress and tension... This statement explains that love everyone as you may love yourself... So, unless you are a one of those berserk suicide bomber crackhead fanatic, this shouldn't be much of a dilemma... This ultimately means... love everyone, despite their acts, despite their words, despite their thoughts... Those who forgive are those who are loved... Learn from your mistakes and those of others... Jesus sacrificed himself for the very same people who discriminated Him... the very same people who accused Him of blasphemy... Despite all that, can't we act as people of virtue and respect?? Can't we repay Him in this small little way?? can't we ultimately decide on ending this society of the moronic catastrophe and this demented age of enmity and hostilities???

be yourself
Just another day passed by with school, sleep, reading and now blogging...and later even more sleep... Turns out that my social exam was just as I expected... haihz... all that I had studied was not exactly worth it... well....knowledge is its own reward... but most of the questions on the exam were based on the few forgotten materials.... the ones which I had not taken notes on... well, i did get 34/50 which was basically the class average...
Children, teenagers and even a certain number of adults nowadays are overrun with the feeling of dissatisfaction towards their own physical and mental situation.... These people are frequently bothered by the "what if"s and "if only"s.... these discontents and desolations has driven these people into drastic measures... these people have turned to their last resort... they pretend to be someone or something they're not... they reduplicate the people of the "normal" standards... Achieving this "normal" standard seems to be the only way of 'fitting in' this corrupt and judgemental almost-broken-down society...
If this is what it takes to be "accepted", is this really worth the act?? Does acting through your whole life really make you that different?? Does faking the mere existence of your presence reduce anymore of the real you?? Does hiding your true self behind a mask really conceal yourself?? Isn't that counted as bluffing yourself?? In impersonating other characters, isn't that just as entertaining as a mere mime?? Just another human who hasn't the character or emotions of oneself?? Does cloning others not just degrade oneself to that of an artificial intelligence?? Let me rephrase that... artificial stupidity??? Just another dumb-trick?? another fiddle-faddle?? another absurdity??
Have we truely forgotten the meaning of self-expression??

Life's Purpose
Past week or two has been such a "blah" week... Nothing much to it... same old same old until today... Because I have social exam tomorrow... and I dont think I'll be doing too good... Although i have studied... but somehow, the material I do study doesnt seem to appear on the exam paper... which is quite dissapointing actually... well anyways... hope it all goes fine... As to my current post, I have been reading this book "How to live life on purpose"... and this author, this book actually is quite straight forward and true as a matter of fact...
Life is defined as a matter of the existence of an organism... wether human, animal, or plant... we all exist in this world... Purpose is defined as the object toward which one strives or for which something exists... These two words, these two terms... are differential... However, they are linked together as a parent is linked to their infant... Without the parent, there can be no infant... Without the parent, the infant is non-existent... Just as life and purpose... Life is absurd, blank, just another empty bottle if not for purpose... my point is... to live without a purpose is not to live at all... it is just like living in idleness... Without a purpose, the mere existence of an organism is useless, vain, nonsensical... If a man lives through his whole life without realizing this, this man is obselete... this man is not in service in other words...
To have a purpose is to have a vision... A vision is the source of all purpose... a vision of the honorable gives birth to a purpose worth living for... The very same vision which keeps a person away from the grasp of resignition... the very same vision which motivates a man's spirit... The one thing which can only be given up without being taken... The very same vision which keeps a man clinging on to the things he truly cares for... The things which a man could live and die for... The very same vision which could drive a whole society, community or even a whole world of fellow humans...

Conscience
Haven't published any post for the past few days now... Not that I was busy or anything, just hadn't the mood or more so the topic... The past week has been my spring break... and now, I'm about to go back to school... well... I guess the holidays were fun while it lasted... watched a whole load of movies... at least I'm up-to-date with movies now... last night was spent on finishing up my homework and home-project... So in a way, it wasn't exactly last-minute... although I did procrastinate... Well, the good news is that I'm done with all my work...
There are mainly two distinct types of characeteristics of an average human...The unprincipled and the conscientious... By that, i mean the moral and the immoral in other words... People of the immoral and the unprincipled plague this already corrupt world with their fiendish acts and disregarding characters... The very same characters which can pollute the mind of a 5-year-old... The very same characters which corrupt our countries(also known as politicians)... The very same characters which are heedless and reckless against our all-so-frail society of civilization... These unprincipled, uncivilized, rapacious race play a role in this enchanted world as the bad apple, the black sheep, the calamitous snake, the unwanted inhabitants...
The conscientious, however, are the heroes of this generation... These common people which undoubtedly earn an honest living keep this fragile community from falling apart... These conscientious mortals provide the society with a windfall of ace and admirable character... The backbone of our human race in other words... These conscientious commendable gratifying characters are the only foundation of this tainted and unwholesome world... These people give us the only good in this world ... they give us a reason to live as God essentially desires... As most of us yearn for... As most of us crave for...
