失去的痛。
如果没有拥有过，我就不会感受到没有他的痛了。
我知错了。
知足。这样最好。我不敢在期望甚么了。。

cynics’ only trust- Reason

Stefan lorenz sorgner summarizes Perter Sloterdijk (renowned German philosopher and a professor of philosophy and media theory):
Romanticism of the open eyes

We live from day to day, from vacation to vacation, from news show to news show, from problem to problem, from orgasm to orgasm, in private turbulences and medium-term affairs, tense, relaxed. With some things [...]

lone

We live on the basis that every encounters lead to separations.

We force ourselves to be lone animals.

In the end, we develop ways to create virtual closeness.

To keep in touch…without touching.
Creating romance via phones, getting married with your online pals, spending more time in expanding your ‘friends’ in facebook but none in your face-to-face relationships…
I wonder [...]

Never meant to be alone

By Haruki Murakami,
(Conversation between librarian, Oshima, and a 15 yr old runaway boy)
” in ancient times people weren’t simply male or female, but one of the three types: male/female or female/female. In other words each person was made out of the components of two people. Everyone was happy with this arrangement and never really gave [...]

Countries, with the help of tourism, are now defined by their landmarks and the souvenirs that come with them. Lifestyles, traditions and cultures are of little to no importance now. At the end of the tour, you come back with lots of gifts and souvenirs [...]

Faith is the problem. It is also the cure.

I am born in a Muslim country, raised in a Buddhist family and taught by a Christian teacher.

I have no religious faith.

My friends are believers of astrology and horoscopes. Capricorns are rational and practical. Aries, on the other hand, are stubborn and adventurous. Aquarius are humanitarians while Taurus are self-indulgent narcissists. If you [...]

Roots

Roots grow deeper into the ground so that trees can reach higher to the sky.

They never fight to be seen. They work silently, without the slightest complains, at the lowest level of the earth so that their branches and leaves can enjoy the breeze of wind and the warmth of sunlight.

Words that judge people

Words that society uses to define ’special needs’ people have the power to single them out.
They’re all ‘dis’ words- ‘disabled, dystonic, diseased’- words that set them apart, at best turning them into beggars- handi(n)capped- and at worst negating them as people- invalid!
