Blindness

I really hate my own unawareness.
But it's a learning process.
Realizing the previous unawareness is always a good thing.
Cuz it shows progress. Better than stagnation, indifference, insensitivity, blindness.

But paiseh lah

But oh wells. Develop thick skin already.

Moving on..
Just gotta keep looking up.
and not forget everyone else.

---

I've been busy. With a lot of things.
I wonder if I prefer the lack of activity during the hols to this, or not.
Haha.

Anyway,
Must prioritize
Must plan
or GG. XD

Just Jack - The Day I Died

Just Jack - The Day I Died - Official Promo: Video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9Dfgbz61RQ

Interesting song. A bit depressing though.
...when "things are just like that." .. when there is no God. atheism.

Reminds me of my dream in the dead walker post.

The winds of change for Africa

I had to share this story.

Ignorance of the what Evolution is

This site http://uniformvelocity.com/2009/03/23/young-earth-creationist-ignorance-of-what-you-dispute/ clarifies some common mistakes/assumptions about evolution.

I have yet to verify the author's assertions though.

Jay-Z's interview with Oprah

From here.

--
It's hardly imaginable what it's like to be living in his shoes during his teenagehood. While most of us are just busy with studies, friendship problems, sports/activities, etc, he was selling drugs and making money, and getting shot at.

Actually, the 'getting shot at' part reminds me of the tales of the WWII times lived by our grandparents.

Actually. I think his story's inspiring.

How will mine turn out to be?
How will my family's story turn out to be?
How will my friend's story turn out to be?

Hmmmm..

Facts don't change when people lie

When we take exams, we normally don't get 100% marks. But English is still English. Math is still Math. 1+2=3 is still 1+2=3.

Similarly, when Christians are taught Life and Truth, not all understand and practice at 100%.
But that does not mean that Christianity is false. It still is true.
- It once bothered me how unChristianly Christians were behaving. I wondered whether that was really how Christians should be. It was disappointing when some do not live up to their expectations. I had to continually remind myself of that people don't practice what they preach/learn sometimes and see how it applies on myself too -- this was to stop the thoughts that it's just a lifestyle thing from bothering me, so that I'd examine it myself. no peer/people influence.

Hmm.. Also similarly, when people learn values, we kind of get them or sometimes intellectually understand why it is good and how it matters, but not 100% if we don't fully appreciate it. So there're slip ups here and there as signs that the value isn't truly integrated.
