Food for Thought

1) Sometimes in life, when i got too free, my mind will starts wondering here and there.

2) Today will be the day, i was thinking about the reason why we EAT. Why do we eat? Probably the answer everyone will be giving me is, because we are hungry or the food is too good to be missed.

3) Has anyone wonder why we eat something which is not nice neither we are hungry at that particular moment? There were many instances where i ate some food, just because the memory it can bring back for me. Regardless is a happy memory or sad memory, memory of our childhood or memory with someone special. It's special how our brain can recall something instantly when we come across some familiar situation. How we felt at that moment, what we were doing at that time and with who.

4) Nothing in this world can last eternally but only memory does. Though the memory will fade off one day, but we at least have had it and cherish it before.

So much of uncertainty,
so much of changes,
so much of turmoil.

Nothing is permanent,
not our promise nor our beliefs,
that it will be shaken,
and when anxiety and suspiciousness arises,
when doubts and speculation deepens,

What can holds us together now ?
Is it the memory and beliefs of the past?
or the anticipation and hope for the future?

There must be a light at the end of the tunnel ... ...
At least i chose to believe so ... ...

Perseverance!!!

1) In the world where a digital image is at 4-5mb, access to internet is just within a few clicks away, Friends are easily made via Live Chat, Facebook. Everything is happening so quick that if you are out of touch for just a single day, you might already been missing out.

2) As things are really moving fast around us, one tends to receive information and news really quick. Rumours, black mail, lies also comes in a package as a result of FAST moving 21st Century. We tend to face more mental challenge and social pressure nowadays as compared with olden days.

3) Our stand on certain issues, principle of life, beliefs are easily affected be it in a good way or vice versa. It's so much more fagile now owing to the revolution in the era of information and technology.

4) Of course, our belief, and principle of life must be firm yet flexible. It's just that, can we still find someone who defence their stand, their belief, regardless of those intense social pressure?

5) How many of us has actually long forgotten our principle of life, like never tell lies, never be late, never says bad things about others, or we have actually never have one? How many of us still have their belief stands tall, believing that people are kind in nature, the existence of Love among all human beings, believing our family/spouse/friends, believing in the long forgotten beliefs.

6) In the process of growing up, we knew Reality is never that Ideal. As we are facing the reality, we compromised on our dream, our beliefs and principles in most cases.

7) Broken promises, lies, Sabotaging, confusion, misunderstanding, fuming among people is so common nowadays. It's an action to protect oneself by hurting another one. The amplitude of usage is so high. People could get influence so easily, to use these to protect themselves.

8) History of mankind had been through revolution after another revolution, blooming and diminishing of civilization after another civilization. The power that drove this changes is the Strong belief in what the People wants to achieve. The strong Will Power that drives the force for changes and revolution.

9) How much does it worth now? To believe in what you believes in modern context.

10) Stand tall and grap firm on our beliefs. It's worth dying for; It's worth shedding every tears and blood. Do not short change ourselves for who we are and what we can achieve.

Life of a Chordata

It was said that the memory of the fishes only lasted around 3-7 minutes. Some scientist claimed that in fact the fishes are smarter that birds, experiments had proven that fishes can remember the time where feed will be provided.

Perhaps that's the reason behind why the fishes kept eating the feed no matter how many times we fed them. They had forgotten that they had already eaten.

Is the "short-term' memory of the fishes consider a blessing or a curse?

Fishes will never know that they are living in a small aquarium, when they swim from one end to another end, they might have already forgotten the point where they had started. They surely had forgotten that once they were from the big oceania or huge streams in the rainforest.

Without the memory of the past, they always live in a state of 'Present'. That is what many of us, human beings who are way smarter, who had better and powerful brain than the fishes who failed to do so, to live in a state of 'Present'.

Bad, sad or frustrated memories of the past, which many of us failed to let go haunted us. Making us into situation where we are haunted by the past, struggling in the present, uncertain about the future. That's triple the negative effect we are actually facing. As days passes by, the burden of the mind kept on increasing. In some severe cases, the burden increased according to an exponential graph.

Let it go~~ Let it go~~ our heart is shouting loudly at us. " To forgive and to forget!" Said the wise man. A simple advice and simple logic; can we understand it and act towards it?

Been able to swim freely like a fish in a big ocean is not good enough, but also been as absent minded as the fish will do most of us good.

A "short-term" Memory is definitely a blessing in disguise for the fishes.
