Point Of View

In our current era, where social media are widely used, the hunger for existence are being experienced by many. From the use of facebook to share one's own thought, to instagram to share our photo and experience, even to foursquare to tell people where we are, and other methods are used to prove our existence. Some might argue that those are for fun, but none could truly justify the truth that many people are becoming dependent upon it to prove their existence. Even privacy are being excluded simply to prove that they are there, they are alive, they "exist". This raises a good question, what is existence, truly? Michael from Vsauce did an excellent job at explaining "How people dissappear" ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CPBJgpK0Ulc ). His video explains, that even in this era of cctv's and continous watch people can still dissappear. Those disappearances could be because of accidents that can't be explained, missing dead body, or a simple mista...

Currently, many people are stating that there are two different generations in exsistence, one is the X generation, the other is the Y generation. In most cases the X generation have a tendency to find it difficult to use and understand newer technology, so they tend to be unable to use their gadgets, pcs, etc. up to their fullest extend. While the Y generation have a tendency to be able to naturally use and master their gadgets, pcs, etc. without having a need to be taught by others', as if it were something they were born with. It matters not which generation you were born into, they all still experienced a certain level of the same education system. Although the system of education differs in each countries, but a lot of it are similar, especially in eastern countries Many of eastern countries' education systems are slave-based and memorization-oriented. No one can be blame for such a system to be born, it was only natural that a country that has so many slaves to come...

Source of all evil From the very beginning of evolution, mankind has used a lot of different ways to survive. Forging, scavenging, hunting, exploring, you name it. But the most intriguing of all is the trading system in which we still use until today. Which is the use of money, no, we are not going to talk about economy, not because it is boring or anything, it is simply because that is not the topic. Instead, we are going to talk about, what is most likely, the 'source of all evil' as the title clearly implodes. There are many logical reasons why one can think that the current trading system is evil, or to be more spesific, why money is evil. Let's think about it, in the current world culture, money is used to buy and trade a lot of things, of course it is not the absolute object in which is used to trade, but it is the most common. As such, us humans would go to many length just to get our hands on it. Here's an example, a hitman is going to kill a certain ...

In this world, we humans were only given one life to live. Once chance to do it all, one shot to make the best decision, or at least that's what most people say. Others beleive we will be reincarnated one day, through many means, others simply say we dissappear into nothingness, others say we just simply become one with the world. But when do we, as humans, really die? When we're shot through the heart? When our heads got sliced? When other people broke our hearts, our hope, our spirit? The answer is simple, when we are forgotten. When our existence in this world, ceased to be. When what we've done, what we've been through, what we had, ceased to be acknowledged by others. If so, then comes the question, "What have I been doing all this time?" for a lot of people, that question remains unanswered, even until the time of their death. Some of you might say, the answer is a chronological one, since birth i was like this and that, then i grew up, and bla b...

During our daily lifes, we see, hear, smell, feel, and we taste almost everything. By current culture, what we mostly see are either our phone, laptop, tv, games, facebook, or other electronic devices and software. What we hear are basically what we wanted to hear, and we block out the rest. What we smell are only things that are acceptable by society, like flowers, perfumes, etc. and what we taste are things that we feel good about, for most it's meat, some it's vegetables, others just don't care about taste since they only want nutrition. Of course, during the course of our lifes, those things aren't weird at all. Since it is, in a way, a part of our lifestyle and there is nothing wrong with that. But, let's stop and think about it, how could we possibly decide if meat taste good? if vegetables taste better? or we don't even care about taste? There are, currently, no books that are available, that could explain the feeling called 'delicious', ...

Since the birth of society, us humans have tried to make a structure of power in which has it's own trusted leader, and every single member of that structure are to obey it's trusted leader. Then, we tried to set boundaries on which are acceptable for the society and which are not, commonly known as rules, or regulations, etc. As we built larger society, more rules are created, some might say it is for the common purpose, some might say it is for a better cause, others might say it is created for our comfort. That kind of thinking lead to the birth of the word 'normal'. Most of us would not think that the word 'normal' is weird since it is such a common phenomenon on modern society. Well, that is not wrong since 'normal' in today's terms are used to gain equal satisfaction for everyone so we can maintain order. At least, that was the purpose, but in reality we used normal to change other people's behaviour that are not in our liking, we u...

Us humans, have this need of having a private space just for ourselves. In it we feel safe, secure, like in a world of our own, because of that we shared our deeprest thoughts, emotions, opinions, etc. inside of that space. That personal space where we can share everything that personal world of ours that we don't want anyone to know, except if we allow them to, is commonly called 'Privacy'. Most of us uses diaries or private journals to reflect on things, such as our daily lifes, or our actions, regrets, opinions, emotions, etc. and we wrote it down on that diary so that we can look back and take a liitle piece of lesson from it. But, what happens when that privacy is exposed? Well, let's think about it together, imagine your own world, you private thoughts, your deepest secret, your fears, and everything that you want to keep to yourselves is suddenly a reading material for public to read. Many of us would feel embarassed, sad, angry, and most of all, inva...
