Perspective

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', 'tasty', 'good' etc.when we eat something, basically, there are no certain theories on this subject, yet, we know it taste good, it's tasty, it's delicious. This goes the same for our other senses, there are no certain theories on how it works. Some of you might think, "we got that in biology", but, even biology or any other subjects, have no factual proof that their theories are 100% correct.

Let's say you, the readers, are currently in a market, and you saw a certain orange colored, long shaped, vegetable, that looks like an orange pencil, what would you call it? Most of us would answer 'carrot', yes, that is correct, but it's called 'carrot' because people agreed on it. Think about it, you know the answer is 'carrot' because you were thaught for the very first time by your parents, or school, that society calls it 'carrot'. When we were a baby, humans doesn't have any knowledge about this world, we don't even know our parents name, until they've taught us their names, until they've taught us that pencil shaped, orange colored vegetable, is called 'carrot'. Imagine this, if your parents, or whoever taught you for the first time that a vegetable that looks like an orange pencil is called a 'carrot' were to somehow tell you it is called a 'tomato' what would you call a vegetable that looks like an orange pencil until this day?

The same goes for everything that we know about our lifes. Which absolutely nothing, that is why, we cannot say that 'i understand you', or 'i know how you feel', or 'i've been through the same'. We humans were designed to never know what other people see, feel, hear, smell, or taste, that is why we are so unique. Because each of us have different experience, different way of thinking, so you could never truly understand another person just by having a similar experience. You don't know how he/she see, feel, hear, smell, or taste, about that similar experience, do you? We were each given our own world to see, hear, feel, smell, and taste, by God Almighty. But, that doesn't mean we cannot show simpathy or empathy towards other people. Yes, you can't understand others 100%. Yes, you can't see his/her world. But that doesn't mean you can't help him/her. Do what you think, can solve his/her world. Us humans doesn't need people to tell us 'we need to be strong', 'have patience', 'you'll understand someday' etc. We already get that much, what we need is people who, in the best of way, help us to figure out the solutions of our problems. If we can manage that, this world, would  be a better place to live in.

Thank you for reading.

Forgiving and Forgetting

Interactions between humans in a world full of society is, in a sense, inevitable. No matter where you go and what you do it is almost impossible to encounter it without interacting with other human beings for whatever reason it may be. Such interactions may or may not have good result, sometimes the results are as satisfying as it gets, but other times it can inflict a "mental injury". It doesn't necessarily means trauma, those "mental injury" is basically just intense moment of displeasing and discomforting situation that you experienced (again doesn't have to be traumatic). To survive, we humans evolved our psychological function to adapt to such situations and thus born the terms "Forgiving". But for some unknown reason, forgiving is now being translated to forgetting your problems, of course the actions of forgiving is way far off from forgetting something. Let us start with forgetting, an action we take to simply disengage our brains fr...

Existence

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...

Running again?

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...
