thinking of....

me hogging most of the posts..

blaughs, i really sorry you've to bear with my crap because my counterparts (points accusing finger at jia and liz) are not pitting in. not that i blame them, the prelims are coming and they are busy and they have their blogs to tend too, while i'm here idling because i don't give a hoot about my blog (it's dead by the way) and i have nowhere else to relieve this boundless energy.

i think it's about time i posted something more p.p.ish (profound and philosophical) all those ramblings about everyday life is so mundane and uninteresting right? haha.

well, i was reading laura's post on her blog and it was about the wonders and profoundity of time, space.. i guess it's more climatic for physics students who will more likely undersatnd what she is extolling about. nevertheless, i somehow got the hang of it (must be due to a maths 's velocity nonsense)

i unashamedly admit that i'm not really a risk taker or someone who bothers to find out why things happen. i'm more likely to take a laid back stance and be the cynic, commenting and criticising but never in the middle of action. i don't crave for action nor thrills nor fame. in a sense, i am someone who enjoys the simple pleasures of life and cherishes the bliss of life (though i'm rather morbid as i always say, "we live to die"). in another sense, you could say i'm lazy, slothful.. etc. that's probably the main reason why i'll never make it to being a scientist or an explorer, i lack the motivation and driving force...

it's not that i'm lazy to think or find out about new areas and things or another zonked out cyber kid of our generation who no longer appreciates nature's wonder. it's just that i'm sick of the material world, the technology and even man sometimes. i would prefer to sit in a corner, staring at the stars, contemplating about life. just life. after all, politics, economics, social problems, money weren't all this created by man?

along with advancement was his companion, complication.

money is the root of all evil: how i wish i got that for english orals then i could tell the examiner in her face that no, man was the root of all evil because he was after all, the creator of money and he was the one who instill and created the greed for it. money is only a iece of paper, it's the value you give it.

can you imagine if someone suddenly went down the street one day and started tearing money, yelling at others to do so and get rid of this object representive of materialism and everyone starts doing so? imagine what a chaotic scene that will be, how much fear, anguish and bewilderment stock brokers, bankers, the entire finance world, the governments, the rich will experience? how liberated, overjoyed the poor will feel? how will the world be like? back to bartering?

you can't eat money. i think people got less practical and realistic down the generations. think if it was the end of the world who would be the ones surviving? the farmers? the tais tais?

ask yourself...

is wealth is measured by paper?

is survival is measured by paper?

we all think we are so clever to substitute money as a middleman. what if something or someone comes out and threatens to destroy and shake the foundations this comfortable system and structure we depend on? anything is possible. communism is one of the best examples. you put a bunch of people whose lives were ruined or limited by paper; money. feelings of anger are up. ever heard of peasant uprising? what about global poor citizens uprising?

this problem will never end. it's a vicious cycle. even without money, there will still be a segregated society; the poor and the rich. this was present all along and will be. it's just that why give an inanimate object such as a piece of paper so much power to wield over others' lives..

think about this..

it's from the movie 'The Day After Tomorrow'

" It's just that all I have been planning for, working towards.. it is now a future that no longer exists for me."

when the female lead said that line, i felt she was echoing my exact sentiments. i feel this sometimes.. i wonder do you?
