before and after

i know i will meet you, before i know i have eyes,
i know i will talk to you, before i know i have mouth,
i know i will online because of you, before i know internet,
i know i will drive all the way, before i know the moving machine,
i know i will not able to concentrate in coding, before i know what is java,
i know i will leave me alone, before i know i am living in a world called greed,
i know i will leave you happy, before i know you have to go through this unhappy;

i wish i can enter into the space, which i might get wounded,
i wish i can do what i think i can do ( for you), where it might be too much ( for you),
i wish i can take away my mind, which the core 2 duo is not even one over million of it,
i wish i can wish that i no need to wish, which u might not know what i wrote in this line,

i knew i will still meeting you, after i know i have my eyes,
i knew i will still talk to you, after i know i have my mouth,
i knew i will still online because of you, after i know the Internet,
i knew i will drive all the way, after i know this moving machine,
i knew i will still not able to concentrate in coding, after i know java,
i knew i will leave me alone, after i know i live in this greedy world,
i knew i will leave you happy, after i know you already gone through the unhappy.

<<自然 - 淡然>>

雁渡寒潭，雁去潭不留影；
风动幡动，仰或你心在动；
正念负念，就在那一转念；
没有失败，成功还未到位；
因为相信，所以相信；
愿意相信，才会相信；

春夏秋冬，时光它无影踪；
酸甜苦辣，人生滋味尽尝;
黑白之间，是否总是带灰；
向左向右，难选还得要走；
季节味道，颜色方向；
因循自然，方得淡然。

because of you....

because of you,
  my place is here; ( where will i be in the future? i am not sure..)
because of you,
  all i want to do is get away and hide in a new place;
because of you,
  life has never been this "good"...
because of you,
  answer is in everybody's heart
because of you,
  yesterday i miss the most;
because of you,
  so what else more can i expect from you?
because of you,
  i can always see cloud(s) in the sky.
because of you,
  a change would be a better tomorrow.

[P/S: look at the 1st character of every even number line..]

your life, your script

when you are you, you live your script;

when you are not you, you script your life.

Plato and his famous Allegory of the Cave

Take Plato, for instance. Together with Socrates and Aristotle, he is one of the founders of Western culture. Famous for writing up the Socrates dialogues, he also wrote some works of his own, one of which is The Republic. In this work, he describes his famous Allegory of the Cave, which goes something like this:

Imagine prisoners, who have been chained since their childhood deep inside a cave: not only are their limbs immobilized by the chains; their heads are chained in one direction as well so that their gaze is fixed on a wall.

Behind the prisoners is an enormous fire, and between the fire and the prisoners is a raised walkway, along which puppets of various animals, plants, and other things are moved along. The puppets cast shadows on the wall, and the prisoners watch these shadows. When one of the puppet-carriers speaks, an echo against the wall causes the prisoners to believe that the words come from the shadows.

The prisoners engage in what appears to us to be a game: naming the shapes as they come by. This, however, is the only reality that they know, even though they are seeing merely shadows of objects. They are thus conditioned to judge the quality of one another by their skill in quickly naming the shapes and dislike those who play poorly.

There are many interpretations of this allegory, but for me it has always been about not knowing the true reality of things; we only see shadows cast on the cave wall.

what is flexibility in life?

what is flexibility in life?

flexibility is
when you buy me a Porsche, i am happy,
but if you buy me a bicycle, i am happy too.

flexibility is
when you spend me a fine cuisine, i am happy,
but if you spend me a "roti canai", i am happy too.

flexibility is
when you buy me a LV bag, i am happy,
but if you buy me a power ranger bag, i am happy too.

flexibility is
when you praise me, i am happy,
but if you criticize me, i will not feel sad, however, i will thank you.

flexibility is
when i can write a good program, i am happy,
but if i m not success in that, i will not simply give up.

flexibility is
when you buy me a mansion, i am happy,
but if you buy me an "atap house", i am happy too.

flexibility is
when i have gathering with lots of friend, i am happy,
but if i am alone reading in my little room, i am happy too.

flexibility is
when you bring me to theme park, i am happy,
but if you bring me to desert, i am happy too.

flexibility is
when you give me flexibility, i am happy,
but if you do not give me any flexibility, i am OK too.

hence,
i live my life as i live my life,
i am happy despite of the surrounding, environment
i am happy regardless of any thing that happened to me,
i am happy because i m happy.

"I am contented with what i have,
but not dejected because of what i do not have."

不知为什么

昨天回来之后， 不知道为什么，
好像接近世界末日似的， 突然间，
不知道要做什么，心里很空洞， 空虚，

难道真的是碰到所谓的， 达成了想要做的事，
人就会突然变得没有目标， 失去方向，
就好像很多太空人上了太空， 回来都得了忧郁症，
一个两个都需要心理治疗，不然有的还想去自杀，
哈哈， 我当然不会去自杀的啦，
人身难得， 生命可贵，
况且我妈妈十月怀胎， 如此辛苦把我生出来，
我不会令她失望的， 何况我不是个普通人呢（我常常这样告诉我自己的）！

我想飞去那美丽的天空， 快乐遨游， 飞翔， 跟你，
但是， 我还没回到地上，我不知怎样飞上去；
等有一天， 我着陆了， 我会飞的。

人活在这个世界上， 真的可以做自己想要做的事吗？
真的可以， 无拘无束， 逍遥自在， 不顾一切， 勇往直前吗？
真的可以， 义无反顾， 海阔天空， 老鼠爱大米吗？

忽近忽远，忽明忽暗，
忽乐忽悲，忽然想你；
我，会想一想， 好好想一想，
我， 该怎么做。
