Choose it or not?

People have been saying things like that guy's good in this and that and he's so awesome. From my view, things like these is not nothing. There is no perfect human. Humans are created equal in a way but they are created different according to their abilities. Talent is what they have. Some people are good at entertaining. Some are good at thinking. Some are good at doing the harsh work. Perhaps, most people should start to rethink this. Talents are not based on their genetic code. But talent is based on whether you choose to do it or not. If you have the passion for that field, talent comes in naturally. As you choose to learn.

Take a princess and throw her in a farm. She might not be able to work in the beginning. But as time goes on, she'll learn and she can become a good farmer as well. Take a pauper, throw him/her in as a prince or princess. He'll learn how to govern his subjects in a matter of time. What they are good at doing is not based on who they are but what they chose to do to their lives. Despite this might be an already obvious thing. I still find that most people today still say like this person is so great at this and that. I find it uninteresting and say that humans are equal in all sense of ways.

War and Peace...

Recently, I've been going through some videos on youtube calming my mind until I came across a video of Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker trailer. And within the trailer, I just realized that there are countries without an army. For example, Costa Rica's Article 12 of their constitution abolishes the military forces ending the military spirit in the country. The abolishing of the military happened 1 year after the Costa Rican civil war which resulted with the overthrowing of their government. Ever since, Costa Rica has never went into civil war despite their neighbors do.

Today, their supposed military budget is focused on security, education and culture. This resulted in a peaceful nation which remains neutral in it's stance. From this nation, I've had came to realize. Why do we even need soldiers? Why do we fight? Is it necessary? If every nation in the world lay down their weapons and trade in for tool to build. Instead of tools of murder and despair, humans should rethink that war is the unnecessary method. Why on earth do we listen to our selfish leaders? Who decided that war is the only matter to gain what they want. Foolish leaders, because of your greed, you have caused young men and women to die. Fighting for an ideology, is it even important?

Militants world wide, especially religious extremists and radicals, think back! Would your religion approve of murder of innocent civilians? How about the murder of many women and children? These people have nothing but each other and their will to survive. Why do we fight? Humans are humans. Race and religion is not anything worth fighting for. Why do we have to separate people by groups. Why do we even identify each other in different races? Why not calling each of us as humans and humans alone. What is the difference? Africans, Caucasians, Arabs, Indians, Asians and other races, we are humans. Humanity has no need to fight to show who's different. Soldiers, lay down your weapons. Politicians, think of other ways to solve a conflict. The world needs to stop thinking each other as a different race but humans.

Laying down their weapons in trade for tools to educate, to build, to help is what every nation should do. Give the weapons to guards and police. Why do we even need to buy tanks and create more guns to kill? Leave the battlefield, join the people around to create a happy world. Without an army, there would be no reason to fight. Without an army, politicians would not interfere with other nations' internal affairs. Lay down your weapons and start to think again.

Instrumentals... a story without words...

Instrumental songs. One form of music which has began from the old ages and the longest surviving genre of music. Never obsolete and never forgotten. I've been spending hours and hours in front of my PC listening to instrumentals. It doesn't matter which era they are from. Classical, New Age, it always tell a story which will not describe in words. For example, Playing Love by Ennio Morricone from the movie The Legend of 1900, describes about the thoughts of a man when he sees a girl. Stories need not be told in pictures or words. Music itself carries a story. Plain music without words. Despite the great songs everywhere, there are those who finds it boring and uninteresting.

Plain music without words tell stories which no words can ever describe. Most of today's popular music are nothing but a corruption towards good music. Good music today is under-appreciated as more and more people has succumbed to the trends of music which promotes killing, death, self harming, sex and other immoral acts. What everyone should do, is to stop listening to every other songs and give these beautiful instrumentals a try.

Self harming... Failure of understanding humanity's worth?

Self harming as most usually recognize it as a part of the Emo subculture is a method of doing physical harm towards one self. However, this self harming is not just a normal harming. What puzzles me today is why on earth would humans even harm themselves? I mean, is there any good coming from people being emo nowadays? What is it that humans prefer cutting their own wrists or doing any severe physical harm to themselves?

The only question I would wish to post to all those people out there who are still living within the emo subculture. Why do you even want to harm yourselves? Do you even care about the people around you who cares about you a lot? Harming yourself is not a way of expression. It is mere stupidity. If god wants us to harm ourselves, he would had turn it into a commandment. Emo or not, this is not worth doing. Origins of emo are from the popular music. Bands such as "My Chemical Romance" are promoting people to harm themselves. You teens have better things to do. Harming yourself is never a good idea.

Wake up world. This world is never miserable. The ones who are miserable is you people. You people wanted it to be miserable. That's why you feel that it's miserable. I find it ironic that humans who are created to protect themselves wants to harm themselves instead. Humans are not stupid. Humans are an intelligent race and the stupidity comes from why we do irrational things? Grow up people!

animes and intelligence?

WARNING: Despite my post to be sliding towards the anti-anime side, I would like to say this. Please. Do not stop reading this post.

Challenging minds. Animes have become a trend. A culture in the world. Something Japan has contributed. Though, they have been challenging everyone's minds. They have proven to be ridiculous at times. I have suddenly thought of this. Animes are something which are not worth watching when you have other things to do. It is merely a fantasy world where its purpose is to entertain you. However, too much entertainment has its toll. Though the question is, too much anime can cause your intelligence to deteriorate? Plausible theory. My claim is that the more you watch, the more you neglect other stuff such as challenging your minds to explore new things and new possibilities.

Though this doesn't really say that only animes will do. So, the title should be changed to too much of any entertainment causes your mind to go down to zero. True? WRONG! Despite how much, I've experimented it with, entertainment doesn't really kills your intelligence. However, if you're watching some lame shows on the TV, yes it does. Entertainment such as video games in fact makes you think better.

In fact, certain games have proven to have sharpen the minds of many. However, that doesn't mean that you should stick your face in front of the TV with the console or the PC to play all sorts of games. Some games in fact makes your intelligence go down. Back to topic. We're discussing about animes and intelligence right? Well, for what I can see, some people had already forgotten about what's important in their lives when they started watching animes or any other things on TV. I've spent my time watching too much animes in the previous year. And to my surprise, I've realized, that too much is bad. My point is anime is a fantasy, where the impossible happens. Real life shows however, couldn't achieve the impossible since they couldn't defy the laws of physics. In this case, Real life shows would be more suitable for humanity instead of animes. When we watch things on TV. We tend to believe that what they do is real. So, in this case, we deny our own reality and substitute it with theirs.

As to conclude this post, my point is, to not let yourself be absorbed into the anime world but keep a part of your consciousness to be in the real world. A balance on both animes and our TV shows would be nice. The more we absorb fantasy, the more our minds become rotten. As our minds focus on fantasy stimuli and not the real world. And this will result in weakened intelligence and focus. I suggest to all who reads this post to think more of the real life than to indulge fully into the world of fantasy

A Song of Storm and Fire



This was performed in Passion December 2006. I was browsing through youtube and saw this video. The song was composed by Japanese musician, Yuki Kajiura. It was a song written for a teenage hit anime in 2006 called Tsubasa Chronicle or Chronicles of the Wings. The title of the song is "A Song of Storm and Fire".

Against Racial politics with an example from "the great dictator"....



the video was taken from the great dictator. A film by Charlie Chaplin in 1940 criticizing the Fascist government of Adolf Hitler. However, there are similarities in today's governments who practice racial politics. If anyone would actually listen to all that is to be said in this show, shouldn't we practice it? Here's true democracy for you...
