了解

曾经读过有个和尚说,想得到“他心通”这种可以看见人心里在想什么的功力,不必去求师求道,苦修行善,只需打开自己的心给别人看,别人自然便会打开他们的心了。那不就是通了吗?

可是你有没有式式把自己的心门打开,但却没有人肯进来了解?

因为他们担心他们从此变了。

你可又有没有见人家把心门打开了,你却无论如何不肯进去了解?

因为你担心你从此变了。

造成夫妻日久渐疏、人们互相分派主要原因到底是不是这回事?

The Butterfly Effect

An early pioneer of the theory was Edward Lorenz whose interest in chaos came about accidentally through his work on weather prediction in 1961.[14] Lorenz was using a simple digital computer, a Royal McBee LGP-30, to run his weather simulation. He wanted to see a sequence of data again and to save time he started the simulation in the middle of its course. He was able to do this by entering a printout of the data corresponding to conditions in the middle of his simulation which he had calculated last time.

To his surprise the weather that the machine began to predict was completely different from the weather calculated before. Lorenz tracked this down to the computer printout. The computer worked with 6-digit precision, but the printout rounded variables off to a 3-digit number, so a value like 0.506127 was printed as 0.506. This difference is tiny and the consensus at the time would have been that it should have had practically no effect. However Lorenz had discovered that small changes in initial conditions produced large changes in the long-term outcome.[15] Lorenz's discovery, which gave its name to Lorenz attractors, proved that meteorology could not reasonably predict weather beyond a weekly period (at most).

The above is taken from wikipedia.

The Butterfly Effect is the same theory we use to explain the reason why we cannot return to the same presence if we ever travel to the past. We might trigger something as minor as a butterfly's flap and cause a vast change to the time we come from.

If you believe in this theory, imagine how much you can change the future.

If you believe in god, tell me if god make this on a purpose or is it a tool of god which human should not found?

Human Black Spot

Nothing is for sure. The unsure-ness is the black spot. Look at the sign of yin and yang, where there is too much black, there is a white spot; and when there is too much white, there is a black spot. Which I am trying to say the white spot is the black spot for black and the black spot is the black spot for white…

Confused?

Everything has a black spot which cause uncertainty. Our eye had a black spot where there is a point we cannot see; black hole is a black spot of the universe where all laws broken; our believe system has a black spot which is doubt…

Steven Hawkins, a remarkable scientist, hopes human can’t find the Higgs Particle…

I find this another funny part of human. Whenever we try to hard and professional to do something, we tend to tell our self to stop trying and there is another better way. So is the moment we try to understand someone, we will come to a door in their heart that we do not want to enter; same as you find it funny why there is a door in your heart, unlock, but no one is going in.

This black spot of human psychology is the main reason people war, divorce, fight and loneliness, which is the same reason why we always felt we couldn’t find some one who truly understand ourselves. It is also the reason why each and every one of us is so different.

Scientific Religions

Don't know since when, I begin to hate religious people that talks bad about other people's religion. Especially those that said others are unscientific and unhealthy.

Religions aren't sceintific. We are the one that believe they are. Otherwise, what is scientific?

I dare to tell you, scientific has to be under certain condition. Scienctist believe in certain theory before they prove it. There are even remarkable scientist believe in something that science cannot prove. Followers of scientology believe in immortal and spirit, without scientific prove.

Why can't people see through people's eye? Imagine themselves being born in that life and had the same influence. What will you believe? I bet you would most probably follow what everybody around does and believe as you are now.

Unless you always change your believe systems as you believe in advancing healthcare systems. I will very much appreciate if you do not criticise others.

Global Entrepreneur Week

It’s the Global Entrepreneur Week (GEW), and I have been there for three of the activities. I do not know whether the activities are bringing entrepreneurship in to the young because I think I never participate enough for that. But the numbers of activities are extreme. For the whole week, it is like five activities happened at one time if include those happenings in Penang and Sarawak.

I have been positive about this, and I mean real positive. I really see a changing world, despite Obama was elected as the President of the world (by looking at the number of people around the world that support him, he deserves to be World President). It seems to me like the world will be focusing on entrepreneur more than ever. As said by the riches man of in world, Bill Gate, capitalism will be the savior of the world. Yes, look at how those who brought pc to our desk, cars to our porch, and handphone to our hand, aren’t they the coolest person in the world? All of them started as an entrepreneur who sees opportunities through craziness and stubbornness and excessive self-believe, which are the qualities to be an entrepreneur. You think this iss madness but see how they change the world?

All these were supported by famous universities of the world. I think this is an evidence of universities, eager in finding ways to train successful people.

Now, imagine the world find a way to train people to be the next Bill Gate, Henry Ford, Rockefeller, and Warren Buffet…. How will our world look like?

How Stupid Do They Think We Are?

Reporter: Why is the Finance Minister still suggesting to the people to spend more since this policy is the main reason that cause this recession today?

D.F.Minister: Because our system is different. Our bank have extra capital, our people save money in the bank, the mortgage figure is different in our bank… our system are different from the US. Our money is, most of the time, kept in the bank and did not generate cash flow. Worst now in the recession, people are more careful on their spending. This will only cause the market to deteriorate.

This is what happens in a press conference today. I find it rather funny. Isn’t this the same meaning as asking people to kill their habits that had saved them?

People have been saving all the while and it is the same attitude that saved our country's economy as one of the less effected one. Now we were asked to throw that savior in to the dustbin and betray him. I wonder if there any decent man who will listen to him?

This is a stupid policy and a failure; meanwhile the ministry is using this to show the people that they are actually helping but it just did not work. Not to mention that they will spend billions in the stock market to pump up the prices, which is also proven a failure in the US months ago, if 95 percent of the billions did not go somewhere else sensitive.

Get Kill by Stereotyping

What do you think of a middle age lady wearing formal and thick frame glasses which holds a ruler in her hand? I mean what is her profession? A teacher? You are stereotyping. Why can’t she be a lawyer holding a ruler as an important evident? Why can’t she be an architect or a sales lady who sales extraordinary ruler?

What will you do if you find out that your best friend’s mother is a liar who lies about her illness to cover her shame that she actually meeting different people every night, which you do not think your friend knows?

Will you tell your friend about his/her mother?

What if he/she had probably known and he/she is actually trying very hard to cover the truth, the truth that his/her mother feed him/ her by having sex with strangers? Your friend will probably have you murdered.

Who says a good and normal friend’s mother cannot be a prostitute? You are stereotyping and this will probably have you killed.

茅盾的思念

随着时代的进步,科技将地球缩小了。

地球既然缩小了,许多跨国的爱情都比较容易维持了。

科技已经代替了思念。

随便上个网,拨个电话就可以解决了八十巴仙的思念。

同时科技也把我们痛苦的思念夺取了。可不知是好是坏?夺走了思念之苦便是夺走了刻骨的浪漫。

那一封因思念得发狂,眼睛见到的太阳、月亮、桌子、椅子、铅笔、路人、电脑尽是思念中人的影子;耳朵

听到的风声、雨声、甚至太阳的说话也听得出的情信已经绝种了。

留下的尽是一封封速战速决的的短讯。

What Will You Do?

If you were being captured by a military force, put in a place producing poison gas, which will use to kill innocents, will you do it?

Let’s say you are a brave person, you will sacrifice your life to safe the others. Then the captain of the military told you that if you refuse, all your helper here will be crucify and they will find someone else to do the job.

If you agreed on the job with reason to safe those captured here, many innocents out there will die; if you refuse, those captured, which are also innocent, will die. What will you do?

This question occurs to me after watching The Counterfeiter.

What Make Us Stay?

What make us stay in life?

Fear? Fear of death? Fear of pain? Responsibility?

Why don't we end our life, ended all these material illusions that bring us joy and sorrow, which we cannot bring with us forever?

What is the real force behind all this that keep us living?

I was watching the movie Tsotsi, where Tsotsi asked a paralysed old man who beg for a living on a wheelchair, why he still wants to live, since he is living like a dog?

That old man said because he loves to feel the sun shining on the street and on himself in the morning.

Is that sufficient to keep us from living? I do not have an answer.

Human/Software Purpose

Do we have a purpose in life?

Who give us the purpose?

Or we choose our purpose?

Will we be satisfy and have the imagination of in-control, as long as we have choices?

Yes. The feeling of in-control is a human imagination. When we have the power to choose, we feel in-control. When we don't, we fight for it, and give it a name-freedom. -From Matrix.

What do you think of software?

Did it have a purpose?

What happen to a software without purpose? e.g a software to calculate how long you take shower.

What will happen to that software? Abandoned? Deleted?

If a software has its purpose for existence, like us, what will happen to human being that do not know their purpose?

Should we delete "software" like animals? What is their purpose? Or should we abandon humans that do not have a purpose for its existence?

Choice

Here is a situation, in a fine morning where someone prepared a sandwich and a cup of coffee for you. What would you do? Say thank you? Sit down and enjoy the breakfast? Reject the breakfast because you are not use to breakfast?

If you have chosen an act, what made you choose? Is it your habit? Or is it already written in your DNA, that you will act this way in situation like this? If this is true, then it can be said that we had already made that choice, in fact, every choice in life had been chose.

Then this will mean that we are not in control of our life. To heaven or hell, we had chose.

If this is not true, then what made us choose? What made us make a decision?

Might it be the imbalance or the incomplete in our world that causes uncertainty? So we have to make a choice of which way to go, or which incompleteness we want?

If incomplete and imbalance is the source that give us the power to choose, the power of in control, why we always try to balance or complete it?

Is heaven a complete place?

Is hell a place to gather all the incompleteness?

More important is, which is your choice?

Philosophy of a Serial Killer

The author will not be responsible if anyone turns to a serial killer by reading this blog. Click away if do not have confidence. Anyway, why so serious? Read lah!

You know the water suppose to flow downward. Why make it flow up?

You know you will be hungry. Why eat?

You know people will hate you. Why tell the truth?

You know you will be hurt. Why love?

You know why you do not have wings. Why build airplane?

You know your children will die. Why give birth?

You know you are not supposed to kill. Why kill me?

I know they are supposed to live. So, I killed them.

Isn’t that what you are doing everyday?

At least I thank god every time before I kill for giving me a chance to kill. Some of you don’t even feel thankful for a meal.

Fear

Fear is a two-sided blade.

It warns us from an approaching danger.

When fear, we do stupid stuff like killing and destroying the earth, which will further destroy us.

Who are we? Virus.

“It’s not who you are deep inside that defines you. It’s what you do that defines you.”—From Batman Begins.

“I've realized that you are not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment. But you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply and multiply until every natural resource is consumed and the only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus.”—From The Matrix.

You get what I mean?

真心

大家都知道,真心的朋友是讲心,其他的什么都不重要。但是到底真心是怎样?有人认为坦白就是真心、有人认为付出就是真心、有人认为常常在身边就是真心、有人认为配合是真心、有人认为在一起快乐就是真心、有人认为了解就是真心、有人认为给到自己自由的就是真心……

世界上有那么多种真心,如果个个人都以自己的真心与他人的真心比的话,几时才找到真心朋友?就算找到了也因为彼此的真心不同而分开了。那样实在是可惜。真心和真心有什么不同?只不过是大家的方式不同罢了。

黑皮肤、白皮肤、黄皮肤、棕色皮肤,还不都是人?为什么一定要分种族?

只是我个人的看法罢了。希望世界上所有的真心朋友永远在一起。

A World of Code

There is a code for how the webpage you are reading appears.

There is a code for your pc to run.

There is a code for you to understand what I am talking.

When I point to the moon, my finger is the code and the moon is my answer.

Word is the code to record our meaning, invented by our ancestor.

Voice is the code we transfer our message into.

Voice is also the code we transfer (by our brain) to get the message within.

Word is the code that contents a great story, for when we read novel, images the words describe run in our brain.

Account is the code of how a business runs.

F=ms is the code for force, V=IR is the code for volt, E=mc2 is the code of amount of energy content in a mass, etc.

DNA is the code of how our body behaves and looks; we are the code of how the society behave and look; the society is the code of how our world behaves. (So is it DNA that controls the society?)

The existence of everything in harmony is the code that god is there.

If our DNA is the same, why each of us is so different?

If everything has a code, what is the code for our soul? Or if there is no code for it, is that mean we do not have soul?

God(damn) Particle

Have you heard about Higgs particle nicknamed god particle? This particle had once cause the world a fear of earth turning into black hole, which will kill everyone. Of course it wouldn't caught such attention if it were never given a nickname like that. The nickname is first named by Leon M. Lederman, which is suppose to be a joke that Higgs' particle is a goddamn particle.

If you have heard of it, you would know what it does to the human mind, psychologically. If not I'll tell you.

Higgs particle is hypothesized to be a particle that creates all the elements in the world under certain condition. If this hypothesis is true, human were said to have found gods first tool to create everything in the world. A further study will be there are actually no god. It all happens after The Great Explosion. All this is now being researched under CERN, European Organization for Nuclear Research.

People that against this research gave a reason that a certain process will create a black hole. This is a nonsense argument because if they really knew about black hole and the world, they will never use this argument. CERN scientist said that black hole is created every seconds in our world. It's just the size is too small that it disappear immediately. This research will only create such black hole.

I think those against the research have another reason behind...

All the while humans had been proud that they are god's greatest creation. This proud will be flushed down the toilet, if this is to be true. This is a common human nature which immune to change. They have to defend their believe system so that they can stay in their comfort believes.

The End of Racism?

...and Obama wins!

Is this the end of racism? I doubt. It is the growing number of Asians in US that causes the white to feel that the black are more America, of course not all, but, I believe, most. Anyway, it is a great first step to end racist issue. Not only for US but the whole world.

Yes I am happy that Obama wins. My prediction is, US will still be the leader of the world. This time not in economy, but in politics.

Since I am a Malaysian, here is a Malaysian political racism news: Low Siew Moi, the Deputy General Manager of PKNS (a state development body) , has had doing everything and I mean really every projects (including the GM of PKNS work) for the past 10 years. Now they are changing the GM but Low is not in considered. In fact her resignation letter had been rejected and was asked to be in charge until they find a Bumiputra (local-breed) for the post. Many even protest this decision because she is not a Bumiputra, especially the ruling party a.k.a UMNO.

Hurray for Malaysia...

Appreciating Women

Once I read an article about men appreciating women. It said men in twenties will look women on their face, men in thirties will look women’s breast, and forties will look at their waist, while fifties and above will look at the back.

Young men like showing off, so a beautiful face is all they need; middle age men love sex, so they like the body; while older age men appreciate women’s past, so, they look at their back which (I doubt about this) tells their life stories. According to that article, men above fifties appreciate women most, because they like them for who they are in the past which most probably will be the same person now and the future.

I do not know how true this article is. But as a man, when I am thinking what a lady this is, how great this lady is, how thoughtful, pity her, she’s got a long way to go, she will succeed one day, she’s lost, I like women like that, etc… most probably I will be looking at her back.

I think the article is somehow true. How true do you think this is?

Giving

Once, Confucius passed by a young man which is unhappy. Confucius asked the young man what maked him so sad. The young man said he was hungry. So, Confucius gave him some food. The young man was happy and Confucius left.

Years later, Confucius bumped in to that young man again, which was still sad. Confucius asked him why was he still sad? That young man said that he is poor. So, Confucius took out many ounce of gold and handed it to that young man. The young man left happily.

Years later, Confucius saw that young man again, which was still sad. The young man walked up and told Confucius that he had invested the gold Confucius gave him and he is now richer than ever. “But why am I still not happy?” asked the young man. So, again, Confucius asked the young man what he wants. “Happiness.” answered the young man. Confucius laughed and told him that this is the one thing that no body can give, he have to find a way to earn it. Then Confucius left, living the young man frustrated.

One day, Confucius saw a wealthy man giving out money and food to the poor. The wealthy man saw him and walked near, it is the young man that was asking for happiness long ago. The young man told Confucius that he is living as happy as never before.

I guess Bill Gate and Warren Buffet understand this. That is why they are so rich and they give their wealth to other, and it makes them even richer.

Are You Watching Closely?

The title is a line from The Prestige. In fact it is how magicians keep their audience under control. Or should I say it is the audience who likes to stay fooled but try to be smart in their own way?

We have, generally, five senses, some have six or more, they may be born with it or acquire it some way. Have you ever wondered how important these senses are? Imagine you without these senses, not even one. How is it? See what magicians like David Copperfield and David Blaine can do by only exploring one sense, the sense of receiving light, which is done by our eye.

Have you ever wondered why movie industry is so huge that we cannot live without it? If you know theatre, which is an ancestor of cinema, you will know that it is the earliest form of art. Guess why? Simple. It consists three of our senses.

Imagine what you can do with more than three senses, which you already have.

If you see a thing with only your eyes, you will only see two dimensions. If you touch it, you feel the third. What if you use all your senses? Will it be clearer?

Obviously, it is through our senses that we contact with the world. Why don’t use them all? I mean fully use.

Here is a question for deep thinker. Since we contact the world with senses, where will we be without our senses? Or senses that is totally different from those we using now?

为什么我们都不选择天堂?

人们都害怕地狱,但为什么人们一去永不愿归?

人们都向往天堂,但为什么人们一见就回头?

阴与阳

有与无

天堂与地狱

原来地狱里什么都有,难怪人人一去永不愿归。

原来天堂里什么都没有。难怪人人一见就回头。

Wind Valley

Once a friend told me that the poorest of all men is one without a dream. It’s a Saturday morning and I woke up late. I have a dream today.

I dream of a place between mountains which is named by villagers there “Wind Valley”. It is named after the phenomena in the valley which is the wind there never stop blowing, 24/7. It is a zero carbon place where all energies are free, generated by wind, as the wind never stops. Villagers there grow their own food and never need outside help. It’s like a place of its own… If you watch a lot of cartoons, you’ll know that this is not my name but a Studio Ghibli’s production, Wind Valley.

Such wonderful place like Wind Valley is possible with today’s technology; in fact, go read about the construction of Dubai. Of course, Dubai does not have wind blowing for 24/7 like Wind Valley, but they manage to make energy there free. Thanks to the hot sun there and a kind of seaweed that produces hydrogen gas. But above all, thanks to those who found it.

This is where architects today are heading; they use resources around the building, which are free, and eco-friendly. I’m pretty sure every part of the world consists energy which we do not know but can be use for free, without emitting carbon or destroying the nature.

As said by a well known architect, Renzo Piano, “We have been searching for mountains to build houses on it; it is time where we build mountain on our house.” Which means our house should support the nature around it, not destroy.
