What are we doing on Earth? Part 2


As we get older, it may seems (to us) that we are beginning to gain control of our own life.

Is this really the case?

We have(or seem to have) the freedom to make (limited) decisions, but most of them are at the microscopic level. Why?

We may have the power/ability (may not be equal to freedom) to decide certain products, wear certain clothes, execute certain actions such as choosing school courses and the line of work. But macroscopically, all these may have actually been "planned" out by a greater force - the society.

I was helping a student to prepare for his O'level Examination, and could not help but noticed a statement on the entry proof (a document needed to enter for the exam): "By registering for the exam, you have hereby agreed to the rules and regulations of XXX)

What if the student do not agree with the terms and conditions?

Can he simply choose not to take the exam? Why is he taking the exam? Why is he taking these subjects? Can he choose what he like to do?

The "answers" to the above are again, subjective. But let us not forget that societies sometimes(often?) has (is still) spell out or constraint the choices we had.

You may not agree.

Think about it.... :)

What are we doing on Earth? Part 1


What are we doing on Earth?

This question never fail to amaze me. Do anyone really have the same answer to this question?

The minute we were first born(or maybe to be a bit more "precise"{subjective} - fetus was formed) , the human body "system" and "clock" starts "ticking".

The Earth spins in a repetitive circle around the Sun everyday, but we do not develop or act in a repetitive manner.

We are born and "slotted" into different social institutions.

My first (clear) encounter with social institution was (primary) school.
-I was registered into a school (by my parents) when I was 6. (I'm skipping the kindergarten part here)
-I woke up at 6.30am to attend school.
-I wore uniform to school.
-I studied what was required.

Did I have a choice here?
I am "learning" what the people in my society want me to.
"They" want me to learn to fit in to the place that they "created" {subjective}

Because I was "young and naive", I obediently followed.

I was doing (on Earth) what people (who are they?) wanted me to do.

I was young.

Finally The Day Has Come

Good day to all,

This is the first time I'm doing a blog on the internet.

Previously, I was considering to blog, but I couldn't find time and I have this tendency of using my computer primarily to watch video/listen to music/play games.

So, this is the first time I'm stepping out of my comfort zone and doing "blogging" instead of the above listed activities. I hope that my blog will be a stimulating blog rather than an "itinerary style" type of blog.


All the entries in this website are my own views and I do not represent any organization or institutions.

Finally, I hope that you guys/gals will read this with an open heart.

There is no single truth and reality. My truth and reality do not mean that they are yours too.
