Place in YOur heart

Hey there!! This post should have actully been produced in the very early morning. Got the inspiration while having my morning bath but took me till this very moment in this sunday night to produce this... haha...the minister is singing the song <朋友> now... i must really admire his courage... hmm.. the next post will seems a little out of place with this intro. but what the heck..its my blog... So here it goes...

Throughout this many years whereby i have develop a stronger interest and a closer contact with the topic of religion, i have notice a very disturbing trend. It is not about the religion itself but more on the people revolving it. Very often with religion, we will often linked that particular religion to the actions of the person. Say if he is a pious person, and he acted in a vulgar or unruly manner, we will began to question the impact of the religion on this person. We questioned the very essence of his religion and puts doubt onto religion itself. I believed this is not right. This is unhealthy.

Cases of so called religious people behaving in the unruly manner are not just a few black sheeps. They are ominpresent, everywhere. Or ishould say "we".Why i do i think we behave differently sometimes? Why do we act out of the way the very religion taught us how to? I shall begin my defence..haha...they are just excuses for the "crimes" i commited! See if you share my thought.

When i go for the religious classes or got to 四马路 to offer 3 sticks of incense, what they give me is a very calming and relax feeling(maybe its the incense smell, but i just like those feeling of peace). I wont even think of wanting to scold an old auntie,do anything bad the very moment i step out. Those moment that i still have a place for the Gods or Religion, i will not do bad. But hey, here comes the twist!!

How about many moments later? You just cleanly forget about all the teachings and wack all the vulgar languages known to any human being or do all the unruly things deemed bad by the very religion you hold close to heart. You have forgotten to Put The God In Your Heart (“酒肉传肠过,佛祖心中留” Alan told me this once) This I believe is what Buddah wants me to hold close to. When i want to do bad, think of him and i think twice. Did i manage? not easy! Impossible? Not really! However i find it a pity when people treat this as an excuse for eating all the meat and point fingers at the vegetarian laughing at the vegans' ingnorance. We dont really intend to want to convert you! And the very meaning behind being vegetarian was more an act of compassion to all animals rather than being "noble" or "weird". Hey! Eating dogs and chicken is essentially
the same! Why do some think to eat dogs is cruel? I do not know? If you were to see the head of the chicken you are eating, try look into its eyes, bet it will paint a different picture for your hungry stomach.

Wah piang... only into the little bits already so much on the blog liao... ok...share my thoughts next time man...hey! If you wanna good meal... please dont look at the chicken hanging on the showcase of xx鸡饭
...hahaha... only spoils your appetite... Cheers..

Oh yes! forgot to explain the meaning of the 酒肉... i think they meant experiences(good or bad), wealth, name and all the tangible items we all wanna lay our hands on to feed the growing desire/ lust /greed.

Ok... it has been a long read! Go and rest!!!

咖啡厅

舒适的沙发把你和我抱的紧紧…
我们卧坐在舒适的沙发,家的味道淡淡
而幸福香味围绕你我顽皮的指尖。
眼里不断从复日记叙述的甜蜜,
咖啡厅便成俩个人特别的小小世界。
我想在俩个恋人的世界,完美无缺,
你靠著我,我靠著你,牵著彼此手心,
走完这个世纪。
爱情里没了危险区,你要是想到要去旅行,
我愿意背起行李随时出巡,扬起船帆,
看看珊瑚的美丽。
幸福也随著俩人航程的水流星,在新一张的日记,
写进<我愿意>的字迹…

爱意

我的脚趾 在沙滩上 挥了一挥
上面字迹 温暖了心 温暖了你
空中淡香 是一种幸福的回想
鸟儿轻唱 有了春天的画像
你卧在怀里和BABY一样


你呼吸的惯性被迫于
微弱的气息改变憧憬
在爱你的字迹填上个句点
在春天的画像加上冬季的寒意
你卧在怀里熟睡不在起。。。


The above gives the extremes in life that we all encounters at some times of this journey. I have always been very entrigued by the extreme contrast of things in the same time dimension. That is where in the same particular period of time, the exact opposites can results.

The above words tells a romance between 2 young couple basking in the springs of love. The first verse paints a very loving and beautiful picture that they were experiencing. However, i added a third line which i was hopping would be able to bring a hint of the things that will happen in the end.

2nd verse paints the extreme opposite of its former. Her breathe weakens, the little sentence dot ends the beautifuls words that were soken initially and Spring time has been littered with the chills of the winter cold brought through by the passing of the lady.

I would like to share these:
1) i did not put in the emotions of the guy because i would actully wants the reader to put themseleves in the shoes of the guy and feel the poinancy and extreme sadness brought about by the passsing. One could actually be in a shock and react nonchantly or even so overcome by emotions that no words cannot describe the impact of the demise.

2) The passing of the lady need not have to be seen as it is. It could be many things as well. The passing of a romance that will never come by again, the passing of dear one, the passing of an oppportunity, the passing of a gathering... All this would mean the extreme lost of "x" that may never come by again...

The thought of lossing something and never will we be able to get it back again, is really the cruelty the world bears upon us human beings. Why give us feelings if all we could feel is pain...? All however is not so bad as the loss is balance by the beauty that happened initially. The love and joy that springs brought gives reprived to the world we are constantly embeded in. The lack of expression of feelings from the guy may also be due to his expectation of what is to happen the very same moment. Or it sould be the lack of my personal experience that i was unable to related the feeling to you all. This feeling is one things i hope i never be able to expressed...

PEACE LOVE AND MORE OF THESE...

Society and World

**read from bottom up**
morgan: Dont you reside in the society that is vibrant in the world? So other than the society that builds up the world what do you think the world encompasses?
ABC: world sounds much bigger than society..
morgan: what different does it makes?
ABC: the world isn't really that bad.. it's the society..
morgan: trials and tribulations just make you feel that the world is a lousier place to live in...thats why you have to hang in there...
ABC: ha.. thks.. i'm trying.. not to think too far..
xy: Trials and tribulations will mould and make you stronger. Hang in there.
** read from here**

The above post does not try to demean anyone or try in any other way to prove that i am absolutely right. It is just the way i feel about the things and all should not be taken seriously and be broaded over. I am as ignorant as anyone just that i prefer to let known my ignorance and share my views. Below is how i feel,

society:
NOUN: 1a. The totality of social relationships among humans. b. A group of humans broadly distinguished from other groups by mutual interests, participation in characteristic relationships, shared institutions, and a common culture. c. The institutions and culture of a distinct self-perpetuating group.

World: **There are many meanings but i just extracted this to present my point**
5a. Humankind considered as social beings; human society

so is there a difference? what does the world we lived in encompasses? Aren't the things all around us the only things in our own world? or should i say in the society? It really does not matter because what we live in a society. Human society to be precise. As diverse as the cultures,race, language, religion still goes with a doubt, it is still very much a Human society.

To say that the world is more than just the human society would mean to bring in other forms of life that impact the world. Animals have a lesser role to play in the society ever since the stone age man discovered fire and they all started to end up in cookbooks. Greens, esp. trees are constantly being cut and destroyed to make way for who? Human beings...Aliens? Nasa is still venturing out to look for E.T. Gods and Ghosts are still very much beliefs and religionised ( i will not touch on it as it will take about another day and is a different topic altogether).

World, you may say is affected constantly by natural disaster which human beings are in no control over. And so the world would mean natural disasters as well. But hey! doesnt natural disasters affects human beings directly? It is still human society bearing the full brunt of the impact.

You and me, we all lived in this world. We are very much in this altogether and how big this world goes is as far as how big the socity is. Is the world bigger than the society that we resides in? I beg to differ....

默哀

我们在同样的天空下为自己的生活忙碌。
美天忙的不可开交,麻痹了神经线。
感觉就像浮萍,无法沉淀,

任涛涛不绝的工作量遂意摧碎。
明明知道累了就要歇脚,却还在每天熬夜。
悲伤的感觉此刻强烈,面对我想要的明天,

有如哑巴吃着黄连。
就怕坏东西无法被取代,明天也许还是要默哀,

每天过的生活还要期待?
