Good day, dear readers. Well, for those living in areas around Singapore, perhaps Thailand or Malaysia, where the sun shines it's everloving, everskin-searing, everwater-drying, everintense, well, you get the point... harsh but caring rays on us all, an especially happy sunny sunday to you all. Although, I would not mind trading this day in for a sundae. At least it is edible and may be worth some money, two properties which can help me survive each day. >.<
Ah... sundays... waiting for the day to end, crowded supermarkets, the feeling of waiting for monday blues (tastes just like waiting for doomsday or a ship to sink, I assure you), and 'pleasant' sounds of scrambling mahjong tiles from 'considerate' neighbours.... But really, Iwelcome this 'music'. I'm an optimist, seeing the glass to be empty after I drain it of it's contents..etc. And I certainly know a better alternative to their 'fantastic' karaoke singing when I hear one, or more specifically, get tormented by one. Oh, but nothing compares to lion dances in the morning. Especially if you live just across it.
I guess I am a little grouchy, huh? x_X
Moving on... have any of you ever noticed how interesting how conceited humans can be? I mean, I am not complaining, but rather, thinking about the arrogant aspects of human nature.
For one, we always consider ourselves to be superior to other living creatures, just because we seem to have more intelligience and developed technologies. We seem to put ourselves to be above others. For example, when we say 'animals', do we usually refer to ourselves. Let's be honest. Scientifically speaking, we know humans are animals as well, but how about casually? And keeping 'animals' in cages for amsuement and observations is A-OK but caging humans is insane? Some may stress that animals are not as mature and self-controlled as humans. Have you seen gorilla communities in your lives? Do most animals attack or do unreasonable things unless provoked? And what is our definition of civilized? Is our way of civilization the best and only one? Does it overrule the ways other animals lead their lives? Alright, so we think we are protecting them from poachers and such. But by doing this, is one of the ways of nature not about the survival of the fittest?
I am quite sure developed technologies should not be the only way to measure how superior a species is as well. Is the way of humans THE way?
Look at us. Look at the destruction we have caused to our homes, both natural and in terms of destroying other civilizations and societies just because of our inability to accept others. Does it always have to be, 'If you're not with us, you're against us' ?
We spend days in history class memorizing dates and places. But do we truly learn and remember the lessons learnt? Do we truly use the past and failures to produce a brighter future of successes?
Hmm... perhaps we do have a long way to go after all... and I have too many questiosn unanswered...
Until then, pleasant sundays everyone.
