so comes the harsh reality that that this world is harsh. Cut-throat world you could say. survival of the fittest. in order to succeed you gotta be at the top of the ladder. yada yada yada.
Say, what did our ancestors do then? They went hunting, they gathered food. They lived in a community. They helped each other. They survived didn't they? People are deppressed and whenever there is war. So why are we depressed now? What war do we have now? They keep on saying the rich is getting richer and the poor is getting poorer. Celebrities going halfway around the world to help the poor. Publicized deed to cover their decades of cut-throat acts in this world huh?
I may sound all critical and negative, but aren't we all deep down? I'm merely stating what we all try to avoid. And no, I'm not saying we should embrace it. Come on people, we're in the 21st century now. Progression of the mind and civilization should be top most priority.
Brokers, shouting and hustling for stocks. Insurance agents travelling and having chats with potential customers. Inventions of technological apparatus we don't even need. All this done by those cunning chimps while robbing others of theirs assets with candy laced daggers.
What is the purpose we were born here anyway? to suck this earth dry for 50 years then turn all spiritual and fight for human rights? Of course some are genuine;y doing the right thing. I thank Bill Gates, Oprah (and a few more i can't recall) for with all their assets to em, they are giving em out generously too, not just for tax reduction.
Let's look at Mahatma Gandhi. Half of India was against him. They accused him of being too soft, too giving and all sorts of abusive words were hurled at him. Then there's the British regime too against him. Jailed and threatened him. But the man persevered. through all those years of peaceful resistance, India got back its independence. I have the utmost respect for any man that can think of such resistance without bloodshed at that era, where everybody was all fired up and wanted vendetta for being colonized. Anybody still thinks the man is soft now? What Mahatma Gandhi did was to rationalize and have a better understanding of the world than most of the people of that time(and even now). He took the higher path of non violence. Such vision. He was ahead of his time.
Isn't that what we are all trying to achieve now? If we were to reject such calls for world peace, then I say let's return back to the barbaric world we all came from. Let's promote tribalism and start deprieving other tribes from progressing. Let's ravage this Earth for our own temporary existence. Oh wait..... we are already back there. Look around you.
For those who are enjoying life with the AC on and your high-def set at home with party every week, did you actually earn those, or are you a parasite of your parents? Hey its ok if you still want to stay in your donated comfortable little Pandora. And if you earned it by ripping off other people, good luck buddy. I pray you sleep well at night without any worries of robbers slitting your throat. The laws of Karma works people, you can give it another name if you want but the laws are the same.
Egalitarianism people. Love others as you love yourself. do good to others and don't expect the favour returned. Do it honestly. Living in this world for a short period now. You create your name, become a millionaire or other stuff that you want to be famous for....all this for what in the end? after a millenia or maybe after a century your name and existence would not matter. yes it is always good to acquire knowledge to help people, but only for a good cause.
Love thy nature. the elements plants and animals.
Life's too short to be filled with hatred people.
Live your own life, but not at the expense of others.
Spread the love friends.

Love 'em Tigers!
Truth to be told, i'm pretty much your average macha, except that I come with a big tank of laziness to last the longest living Japanese citizen. My resume includes boxes of secondary exercise books which the last date of homework done was in the month of March and my lab reports have pretty much quarter of the contents of what my course-mates submit.
So why am I here boring you with my thrash history?
I hate writing blogs. Too darn lazy.
Blog created in June 09, yet only now comes my very first post.
And this post is going for a cause.
I have been, am and will always be fascinated by these majestic creatures. Being a Tiger myself (to be precise a Fire Tiger, according to Chinese Zodiac), it is extremely disturbing when come this year just days before Chinese New Year, we hear of a tiger found dead in Bukit Tapah FOREST RESERVE (BTFR), Perak (The Star, Feb 8 & Feb 11 2010).
Poaching tigers in the year of the Tiger. The irony of life.
This despicable act has been going on for decades now, even after tigers have been listed in the world’s endangered species.
The nine natives behind the death of the male tiger in BTFR are definitely going to face the court (MalaysianInsider, 19 Apr 2010) but whether the sentenced carried out would be heavy or a slap on the wrist is still quite unclear, seeing as two of the natives are RELA members.
The real culprits however might escape judicial punishment. They punish the manipulated natives and allow the ‘sly snakes’ to slither away.
The ‘sly snakes’ who claim the tiger body parts can enhance human health & strength (!! what a joke) and consumers are the ones who should be reprimanded.
It’s really sickening to know that there are still such people out there. We destroy the tigers’ habitat, greedily grab their food and water resource for our own leisure consumption and now we hunt and torture them?
I wonder, if the ones responsible were treated like this by another foreign species, how would they react?
As so called superior creatures of the Earth when compared to other species, we have been gifted with the ability to THINK and therefore come the responsibility to protect all other creatures.
We are not God to decide what stays and what goes.
I hope this blog have the authorities’ attention.
You know what to do and you are paid for it, but you’re not doing it. Do you sleep well at night knowing you have crossed the boundaries by afflicting pain on other creatures?
What’s the purpose you pray every day?
Start by doing the world a favour.
Let’s end this uncivilized barbaric mentality.
For those concerned about our tigers, let your voices be heard. Spread the love friends.
