Laughing over the death


Socrates once said, “All [humans] are mortal”, that is, every one has to be dead some day. Each person has his/her own opinion about death, and there is a huge bunch of heroic people who just don’t afraid of death (read tales, you’ll see them a lot). The question, then, is: do you afraid of death? I do. I really do.
Sometimes we wish for big stuffs, such as being a millionaire or saving the world, so on and so forth. When time passes by, it turns out to be clearer and clearer to me that such a simple wish like
having a normal life is already difficult – extremely. The fact is, our material world, the mother Earth, is not safe. Indeed, people can just suddenly die for nothing easily. And the causes are just abundant.
The first thing that freaks me out was about aliens. For years we have heard stories about how someone can just disappear some no where and then come back several months later without any of his/her memories or sensations. So yeah, just sit there with your families or friends, and it can be just, “Pff!” You are done for.

And now there is some
retarded guy saying stuff like we are all gonna die in several years! My goodness! What in the world?!!! The ridiculous thing is, reading what he has said and we’ll just believe in him more and more, inevitably! LOL!!! If all of that is true, then I wonder what are we studying and working for? What’s the meaning of all our efforts for that whole time? What are our futures, our hopes, our goals? Is there any single thing is the matter? Obviously not. LOL again.
I don’t know why we have to face this. Isn’t it that without those crazy stuffs, lives are already so dangerous and we are all so fragile that we can be hurt so easily? Car crashes, murders, wars, disasters, hungers, illness… Aren’t they too much for enough yet?!...

I am afraid of death, but that’s all there is to it. I can’t really do anything, and shouldn’t do anything about it. Think of all the possible dangers around me, I have been through so many safe days – meaning that I could have been dead for so many times already. We all did. We all are already so fortunate. So why do we have to care if there will be something bad happen in the future? For example, one says that the humanity will be destroyed in two years (faster than any prophecy so far). The fact is that there will be thousands of people will die in two years, which can be anyone of us here. Therefore, what is more important? Trying to live for each single day or trying to survive in two years? The second one will surely not be the case if the first one isn’t fulfilled.

I am glad that I have lived until today, and hopefully I’ll still be living tomorrow. There is nothing to be afraid of if I’ll die someday. It is another day to live is the blessing that should be noticed. None of us can control how to die, but we all can control how to live, right? Let us ignore all the frivolous things, and keep “MOVING FORWARD”.

How Many Words in This List That You Know?

How are you doing on your readings in general and more specifically in developing your vocabularies? Recently I started reading a book for my Finance class called The End of Wall Street by Roger Lowenstein. In the very first chapter of the book – a short 6-page prologue, there were many words that I did not know, and I am listing them here: destitute somnolent bulwark scrutinize (to) prick quiescent laudatory salient fervent (adj) frothy parlance umbilical (cord) placate carnage plenitude opiate dictum stupendous I was so surprised to see so many new words in such a small amount of pages! How is this Roger Lowenstein guy? You would think that while reading a finance book, the only words you would stumble upon are technical terms or lingos. Or maybe I am just bad. How many words in the list above that you already know?

It's Hard to Share!

I like to share. It’s not like donating stuffs (it’s good too) but more like… introducing to other people what I find interesting. So actually this post’s title should be: “ It’s Hard to… Introduce ”, but it wouldn’t sound as good. So there you go. Songs, books, movies, games… Whenever I find one interesting I’d love to show it to another person – like a “maven”*, if you know the term, even though I am not as specialized and valuable. It’s pretty much become a hobby of mine. “ Hey, you want to hang out? Come to my place and I’ll show you this awesome video clip I found last week!” And one day I finally realized the ugly truth, and I am sharing it with you right now. Well, the title exposes it: sharing interesting things is hard. It’s very weird, really, because when I share with someone the stuff I found, it’s not as interesting as before ! Almost always, when I play a movie or the song while introducing about it super-enthusiastically, I will feel that the movie or the ...

Origami Extreme - Part 08!!!

The other day, I came to watch some of my friends performing in the play called The Birds, and it was really fun! So I decided to make another Origami collection; this time it’s about birds – small birds which (supposedly) are all nice and peaceful. Anyway, I love things that fly. Talking about Origami, I now find myself avoiding overly-complicated models each of which would take days to complete. Instead, I’d go for fairly simple ones which are fast to make and still look really nice. That’s why I like more and more the models of John Montroll: really efficient.   PART 08: THE LITTLE BIRD   CURLEW by Tom Defoirdt – I had no idea that a curlew was. I had fun time folding it nonetheless. EXTINCT BIRD by Nicolas Terry – Mr. Terry always creates unique models. This “bird” was the most challenging for me in this collection. GORRION SPARROW by Roman Diaz – What?! There are different types of sparrows? I never knew! HORNED OWL by Hideo Komatsu – The thin...
