A Picture Means A Thousand Words

Mr.Wise Guy

"Before God we are all equally wise - and equally foolish."
Albert Einstein


-My translation : Whoever knows himself is a fool is wise, whoever thinks himself is wise is a fool.


"Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex.. It takes a touch of genius - and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction. "
Albert Einstein


-My comment : No one has put this fact the better way.

Just Do It

Phrases which are cool like nike's tagline has helped me to do things without questions.

" Are you sure of this? "

" No need think so much de lah.. Just do it lah.. "

There's a imitation brand called niki, it always makes me laugh. The combination of niki and its tagline 'Just Did It' is really adorable.

Logically, it has helped me to go through things and saved my thoughts, but most of the times, I think this phrase has corrupted many of us, helping us do something that we regret later on, or maybe bring suffering to ourselves or to others. I'm sure everyone's aware of this and agree to this. But, this type of phrases kinda stick into our heads, especially in decision making, and facing peer pressure, and the feeling when everyone is waiting for you to " JUST DO IT".

I myself is used to ask alot of questions, and some people do complain about this, maybe it is 'unjoyful' or 'uncool' to them. People say I think too much. From young, I thought questions are the basic to learning progess in life, but as I grow older, when questions gets harder, and when the answers can make a big impact, people kinda gets scared and feel hard to accept certain kind of questions invoked. The answer is " You are thinking too much, friend"

I kinda hate that answer, cause it paralyzes us. Yes, in certain situations, we do not know the answer, and not all questions can be answered. Sometimes, we have to learn by trying (not drugs). But I always believe in making the best of out of everything even we can't get it all perfect, like the way people try their best to find money even if they can't find it all. They are doing the best.

As humans, we are gifted with the wit, even animals can learn simple things in repetition. It is our advantage. Other than the wit, we are weak in many areas. Should we just ignore questions to lessen our worries? For me, I would want to be better than an animal..

Are you God?

" What's your religion?" says Mr. Beh.

" Me? I don't really have a religion, but just namely a (religion) , sometimes I just follow my wife to the (place of worship) , what most matters to me most is my family, " says Mr. Tan.

These conversation and similiar ones are increasingly more common in today's world. It is not unexpected especially in cities, where everyone's busy. " It is a modern world, its not ice age anymore, we have better things to do and think more than thinking who is God and who is not," says the world. For me, that kind of reply seems more like a " I am God ".

Atheists are those who does not believe in God or who does not care. Truthfully speaking, they believe they are Gods themselves, this may sound hilarious to you but it is true. Everyone has a God that they work and live for. Your God actually is the first priority in your life. For atheists, it is themselves, or things that are important to them, the same list=money, love, sex, or power etc..

At many times, some Christians, Buddhists, Muslims, Hindus and so on may be atheists themselves as at times, they work and think for themselves. Some may pray for richness and goodness and happiness, most of this involves themselves aren't they? Should we stop and think who is really our God in our lives? Is it ourselves?

The balance

If there's no good, there's no bad. Similarly, there's no black there's no white. I call this the black and white theory or simply, the balance. What this means is if there's no bad, we can't define what is good, if everything is black, we do not know what is white. Its like yin and yang, I am not spreading a religion here, but it is real in our lives(seems to me).

A situation here can explain well the balance. A person gone through so much trouble when gets to rest on his bed feels so much happiness. For a normal person, who gets to sleep well everyday, doesn't feel that kind of positivity. On the other hand, a blind person from birth doesn't experience much pain as a person who can see from young then got blind. In words, a person who has gone through much suffering can experience joy in a simple happiness while a person who has gone through much joy can experience much suffering in a simple pain.

Can we use this balance to make ourselves happy? Or does it limit us?

A simple situation we can use this balance is that we work hard everyday for the weekend, preventing ourselves from having a movie at the cinema (an example) , until the weekend. We will enjoy it more rather than watching movie everyday. Another story can be told of is in a relationship, if we treat everyone great like we treat our lovers, our lovers will get jealous. So if we treat everyone really bad, and we treat her a bit of good, she will feel special. A poor kid will get so happy if he gets a candy, while a rich kid will only be happy if he gets to the disneyland.


Human wants something whiter than the 'white' we saw, unless we reduce the 'white' to the black, then we will treasure anything that is white. So should we go to the black sometimes? Does God create evil and hell to glorify Himself and to remind us of the balance?

The road not taken

Lives are actually almost like roads, there are shortcuts, highways, off track routes etc.. When you come to a crossroad, you have to decide. If the 2 roads seems almost similiar, it will be hard. When there's a shortcut, you may think of its dangers taking it. Its all about choices and decisions. The easy way out of this, is having a clear direction where are we heading. Happiness? Peace? Love? Richness?

Majority won't think of this, as they just go with the flow, or just decide what are we feeling (sounds like an animal). In the market world, this type of group are the easiest to cheat. They can just twist the signboard and lead you off track in moments. With the digital technology and media, and girls who can talk, we are blinded.



The sad truth is, we are all heading towards death, we are on a death train, the last stop is death. We are enjoying ourselves on the train, trying to forget about death (touch wood).



I always wonder about the path or road not taken, the decisions that is not our normal way of doing it. In the Fringe movie, it touched abit about this, stating deja vu as a short memory of another world, where it is like a mirror world to ours, where we make decisions the other way, or the road not taken. Below, is a poem once I learnt in high school by Robert Frost. I only understand it now..

THE ROAD NOT TAKEN (ROBERT FROST- 1920)

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

The good guy

Kevin was taught well at home from young. Everything was fine and it even felt more fine when he met a girl in high school. He was so much in love with the girl and he was even happier to find the girl in love with him too. Kevin was from a poor family, thus he could not afford to give nice presents to the girl, thus they always give each other simple presents and things they could make themselves. And he even worked part-time for her birthday present. They were happy with each other and enjoyed doing simple things together. Like the fairy tales he read in book, he thinks that he will marry this girl.

He loved this girl so much. It all went well until one day he feels the girl has acted on him coldly. He tries to talk to her and convince himself its all right, maybe that will last for few moments more. But Kevin was wrong, it all became a horror tale when he got to know the girl was with another guy. Kevin struggled with anger, denial and confusion all together. He was shattered.

The girl told Kevin, she is sorry, that Kevin wasn't the guy suitable for her and she wasn't for him. But she didn't tell Kevin that the guy was a really a rich and handsome guy, it felt so good being with him, he could give anything, and introduced a new world to her. She was impressed and excited and could experience alot of things when she was with him. She could be proud and arrogant and she was with him.

She really didn't tell Kevin a lot of things. She actually felt bad for Kevin, but her family always ask her to find a rich and good guy, and it felt good and new being with the new guy. She convinced herself that Kevin is a strong guy and he would find a girl real soon, and like what her family said, don't be too serious in a relationship at this age, so all she wanted was to feel good and not get hurt right? She had to protect herself. So why not think for herself and be with someone she felt good with? Maybe Kevin wasn't really serious in this relationship as he seems to, and maybe was bad guy after all.

In Kevin's world now, its all different, he doesn't feel alive anymore. Everything was meaningless at this point. He feels he was stupid, really stupid. All this while, everything is a lie. There isn't love anymore in Kevin's world. Love is a business to him, its about what you can give, even with friends. In his mind, maybe his family wants him to be good because its for their names' sake. Kevin begins to protect himself from everyone, thus being selfish and wants to find money, no matter what it takes. " All this time, I have been wrong, money was the answer, if I have money, I have it all, even the so-called love, " thinks Kevin.

Life is a movie

I see fake faces and fake conversations. I see through all of them. I dunno that's bad or good, sometimes i just ignore it, hoping that i'm wrong. But I have to accept the world is like this. People come to you, talk to you or spend time with you for a variety of reasons. Most the time, they just want something of out you, as we grow older and older we find this more real. Life is like a stage full of puppets making you believe something or make you feel good, then you pay the price happily with a smile, hopefully..

Temptations to distractions

Alot of times, we want to change, solve problems and things like that, but as we live day to day, we tend to just forget it, 'just chill'. When will this stop?We are distracted by everyday living, work,study,hang out,sports, outings, movies, music that make us feel better, or does it? Or are we just wasting time making ourselves comfortable and die with unresolved problems? Does everbody's lives end like that?

What do we want?

Is this what are we looking for in our lives? Super cars, monster homes, money, sex, power, and so on.. Do I think that I will be happy having all of them? At the moment, maybe yes, when I have the lousiest home, car or whatever. But does it mean life will be complete when i get there? And will it not be if I dun have them?

Everyday, we face media, friends, family to tell us that, money is everything, in order to have a happy and successful lives. Even if u can say you don't think so, but inside, the information is stucked in your head and every cell of your body. Some even sacrifice love, friends and family or evenblood to get there. Is it worth it?



Life makes you want even more.. If you want a home, maybe someone else wants a field of homes.. see the faces of the rich men, especially when he's alone.. even most of them do not have real friends, or even family.. for all the hard work, blood and sacrifice, if its really worth it, it will only come down to enjoyment of probably few years? Can we find something to enjoy eternally? New phone maybe one week occasionally? New home longer? Do we ever count how long things can make us satisfied? Figuratively speaking, we are like in a prison, slaves to money or materialism, addicted to wanting even more, a drug that human took a long time ago, which lasts forever, and we need extraordinary rehabilitation in a newborn planet.

'Life is about wanting no more'



Will it end?

A rainy gloomy day

Why do I wake up reluctantly to live another day? Does it mean I'm scared to face another day or am I more happy in the nothingness in sleep? Why does everything feels so bad sometimes, even when things are so right and when you really should be happy?

It just feels empty, this world, I dun see any more colours. As years start to pass by, the colours start to fade, and the dark reality and ugly truth starts to reveal itself.. Its skin that had peeled off was so real and perfect in human eyes.. it really was so real..

Welcome..

"A note to all : This blog is NOT a self-achievement, self-gratification, self-marketing or advertisement or trading blog etc.. Most importantly, IT IS NOT A HAPPY BLOG to see. So if you're feeling happy or want to feel happy (as we all do), please ignore all this now.."

This is about what most of humans/live/things(at least all) run from, or try to run from, bad happenings/incidents, suffering or what i regard and call them, as negativity. They may be from micro to macro, from dust to universe, but at least most of them are negative. What this is all about is not to create more negativity, but to review and research on it, learn from it and of course laugh about them and feel lucky (this is what we like), or be appreciative with what we have(a better word). The point is, hopefully..

' Make the best out of negativity, and possibly, make negativity to positivity '

You will know what this means later on..

P.S Don't cut yourself and tell everyone this blog teaches me to enjoy pain. We haven't lost our minds and we are smart since we can still read this. I declare I'm not gothic/witch/occult or things like that. I'm just a human like you, finding truths and of course, happiness or what i regard as positivity.

All the following contents may contain real names or fake names of people, may revolve lives( or deaths) around me as the blogger or may not. The word 'I' or 'we' may mean myself or may not, no pointings allowed, just for mere representation. Do not ask about connections. Do not comment about my english too, as I am making the best out of the negativity of my poor english. Other than these, I am always open to comments and questions.
