Inspiration seeker, the religion and the Genius ...

I am the one who like to sought for inspiration. Though sometimes life does not give you the time to seek out inspiration to do things. Nonetheless, if I have my own chance, my own way, I will choose inspiration over relentless work. This is why this blog, still bounded by laws, provides me a perfect template to do what I want. Blog provides carte blanche, the freedom to act as one wishes(By law for certain sensitive restriction). I believe many others share with me the same notion.

Almost 2 weeks, and as usual, my work continues. With considerably amount of off days, I have many things to do. My colleagues complain to me that they have nothing to do. It is not that they have nothing to do, but simply, they do not know where to find.

For me, I started with household chores. Vaccuming, mopping, changing fish water and even helping out in laundry. Do not be surprised, for all these are form of hard work and exercise and they take up almost half of the day. The rest of the day, I will be watching anime, like Naruto. I have bought finish the whole set until Comic book 29, and I am going to finish watching the entire episode soon.

I have tried to find ways to upload some visual materials into my blog for I do not want my blog to be too boring. I want my blog to be simple and clean, giving a sense of pureness.

I have not added links to any websites for mine was not an advertisement ground, and also I will like to "protect" my friends (Stupid idea!) for those who come into my blog. I allow others to link me, but this does not mean all my other friends will allow others to be linked to them. To save all the trouble, I might as well, exclude all links.

Soon, the first picture I am going to upload is going to be my favourite naruto character, by the courtesy of the author and the publisher. Though Naruto and Lee are people of characters, and I appreciate and admire them with all my heart, they are still not my types. My favourite character is ... Hahaha... When I upload, you all will know. His character is like me, and I hope to be like him, of course in certain aspects. He is the one that is always scared of trouble, but will always rise to the occasion, and did well he is.

Other than Samurai X Himura Kenshi, they are many man of characters that I admire. I believe I can be Man of character, Man of Valour and Man of principles. These I called them the 3 Man laws. These three are the aspects I want to be. I might be quite far from what I stand now, and of course action will be the one that speaks, for action speaks louder than words.

I like the phrase of Roc Lee in Naruto: They are many types of genuis. Hardworking, and Innate. Let the hardworking genuis beat the Innate genius. All the genius are sui generis in one way or another. Other than the hardworking genius and the Innate, I will like to add one more. That is Potential genius.

Some genius are meant to be activated through significant occasions and events. The potential genius are hidden, and they need to be brought out. Of course, Naruto himself will suit this type of genius, for he is endowed (Don't know whether it is a curse or blessing in disguise) with the infinite power of chakhra (The supposedly energy and fuel for Ninja techniques) of nine-tailed fox.

And of course an endower will always face certain discrimination and problems. But all of these make people grow stronger. Likewise spiderman will have suited this type of endowing characteristics.

Examples of Innate potential will be Sasuke and White-eye boy (I forget the name). They are bornt to be genius, but they do and are plagued with problems by their own. A good saying in Chinese, every family got their own prayers to be done.

Likewise, I believe myself to be both of potential and hardworking genius. I need to be hardworking to push myself to be limit, and likewise I need to possess the 3 Man laws, to bring out the genius.

The difference between Innate and Potential is that it seems that innate genius are the one that seem to have everything in life by birth. Looks, power, money and luck. They seem to be natural in things. These are of course blessing and for them, they will always be acknowledged whenever they go.

For the other 2 types of genius, you need action for people to acknowledge you. It is also relatively harder and sometimes may end up in more disconsolation as it seems the innate genius will always win you. Worst still, innate genius will taunt the so-called "weaker" ones. And of course, the 2 types of the harder genius will then have to rise to seek the acknowledgement and to prove the innate genius wrong. And to join the rank of heroes.

Heroes might die young in certain and many circumstances, but not much younger. For they will always be in the memory of the ones they save.

Like many others, the reason I love Naruto and Samurai X is that they showcase the characteristics that are very near to our heart. This is also the reason why Spiderman seems to be adored by everyone. They show the exact feelings of many people. The people that seems to be always behind others, until they have the chance to stand up and be on par or even better than the "Successful Ones". The personal problems and discrimination many has to endure.

This is why I salute all these 3 creators of the story, the Naruto, the Samurai X and Spiderman. They have done well and they do deserve some rewards of finance and respect.

In shows, we are supposed to learn. Learn good things we must, change bad things we have to. Many learning values from shows like star wars and even X-men. I have also sought many inspirations and form my own core principles from the shows I have watched.

The Balance principle I have sought is also useful to me in many aspects and have helped me in many uncertain situations, including scenarios like my good friends who are Christians who try to argue about gods and try to convert me. (I refuse to dwell further into any of these and recently there is a big hoo-ha over the hospitals and schools preaching. I do not care to comment as all these are extremely sensitive and I believe many people will have their limits, and that includes the perpetrators and the good old preachers). In the end, I will just conclude myself that it is my choice that I want to go Buddhists. I am not saying other religions are wrong and that I have always respected and even agreed certain principles of the other religions are correct. SO what if certain principles clash, for it is the diversity that matters. The thing I love Singapore other than her stability and safety is the fact of colourful diversity. (Of course I do hate Singapore in another ways like being small but with good comes bad, you gain you lose, the principle of balance)

Particularly, I like the saying of one verse of Hindus, that is there are many ways to become a god, or to be with god, or to become enlightened, and it is only which way you choose. And Christians itself might not be the only correct way. Others are also. Though of course in the fate and light of biasness, it is natural for one to say that his/her religion is more correct than the own. For me, I like another saying of an auntie. Buddhism is more on discovering the world, and Christianity is more on Creation. This might be an understatement, but hey life is about choices. It is just that you have to be responsible for your choices. This is why I have put my choice down much as I agree that time has changed ...

The mixture of Hindus,Buddhisms, Taoism and even Confuciusism have been present since the introduction of Buddhism in Tang dynasty. Until it is passed down today. As a pragmatic person, I will like this to be done for every religions, as this will increase the sense of unity. And as a religious person, since this is my root and my fate and choice, I will just follow and savour the taste of "united diversity". To others, it may seem "rojak", but to me it is another thing. This give me a new sense of identity, and as long as the way is morally correct (Everyone except mentally retarded person will have the sense of "righteousness" of correct, wrong and "yuck" factor regardless of races and religions), I will follow it with all of my heart.

I understand I am going into a relatively sensitive field. But if I am wrong, please do correct me. But in this type of ambiguous and philosophical field, it is hard to ascertain who is correct or wrong, but to go on with life and live happily, peacefully and fruitfully no matter what paths or ways we choose. Even for those who believe in Sciencelogy, they are still part of the believer who simply want the betterment of the world. For this, all religions in the world are the same. For the betterment of all and the world.

But I do hope Science will not be that philosophical for the purpose of creating a Science is to prevent two-edged "literature types" ambivalence. Literature, philosophy, Arts and even religion allow that but hopefully not Science. Science are not supposed to create much more uncertainty and equivocality, but to be more firm and rigid than the other fields and sector. For these, Science and Mathematics are supposed to be unyielding.

But, idea is ideal, and practicality is reality. I do not know how people view different religions or Science, or even the concepts of stupid people and a genius. But I have my own views, and proudly a very flexible but firm one.

I cannot be a gentlemen, but I must be a good man. Of course, a good man's definition has many, and I set the many to a few. A good man thou must be by definition that follows my heart and rationality, with the core concpets of BALANCE.

"Resting ..." and "Blogging"

Alas, I have taken a long break, a block leave from my "work". Staying at home may seem extremely painful, if not for the fact that I watched the whole series of Samurai X anime and A date with the Vampire III. ALso, a game of Go chess, to follow me. Following the book, treating it as my mentor and guider, I have learnt much but still, not many. I am still not as inept in Go chess as much as Chinese or International chess. As a person who brag that I am willing to play any chess, I must have the basic aptitude in all chesses. Having the right attitude is the first step to success, but follow this, aptitude comes in.

Aptitude might be broken down to categories of IQ and EQ. And the principle of work hard and smart comes in. Then can the result come zooming in. Luck may play a part, but God only help those people who are going to help themselves.

Playing chess, is also like doing things and that includes solving probelm. I remember people laughing at me, saying why I love solving Mathematics questions that much. Well, it is like solving problem, though in basic and really fundamental Math, it is much more easy and systematic and yet I can still get the feelings of satisfaction. This should also be applied in my everyday's life, to which everything may be a problem, but the quests to be solved.

To win decisively, you have to think out of a box.

Sourcing for the "problem", I have been trying to think of creativity. I also prayed for "this" to be successful. I can, and I believe. A great great "game" will that be. Both "educational" and "fun". And I believe God bestow success to those who "BELIEVE".

I have also read up many articles to which where the boundary of blog should go. There are also many excerpts on defamation cum slandering issues. Students have gotten themselves into trouble by posing some nasty obvious remarks about their teachers. This is small compare to the racists remarks posted into the blog by some "idiots" weeks ago. Yet the boundary of blog should be stated so as to settle all the disputes of OPEN-OPINION vs Slanderous, muderous remarks that will harm the mentality and social life of a person or an entire organisation (Like races and religion).

To me, it is extremely imperative as I myself have posted my NS life, and I am under OSA. I also know the importance of OSA, and I willingly put myself into OSA. Yet, I have this feeling, the feeling of openess. There is a need for me to say it all out, and as my name has shown, DIARYISBLOG. Diary is blog. Anyway, I have set myself some limits.

These limits are however, not easily expressed or inputted in words. In fact, all these are common sense to me. I seem to know the line, the boundary, by inuition. This is why I have not gotten into big trouble from public yet. Of course, an unpleasant experience I have before about this issue which I do not want to repeat.

This may be the one of the shortest blog I am going to input. And hey, as I feel rather tired and the lack of clamour and creativity to input long verses. Nonetheless, I have some feelings and I put it all down.

As a person, I believe in the principle, I rather people betray me than I betray others. I rather people owe me than I owe others. This may sound noble, but to me I feel it is stupid. A stupid thing to human, but yet human will still do things out of boundary under dire and special circumstances. This principle of me, has been seeded into my heart.

Like love, sometimes, people do stupid things. Much as I am a pragmatic person, who always look things at a wider perspective, for the most of the people and instiled with the principle of A pound foolish from a penny wise. But I am very grateful that currently I am still not in a situation to make very difficult decision. Sometimes sacrifices have to be made. But of course the touch of humans must always be present for this is what that make us different from the animals and robots. We are not indifferent, not apathy. Sacrifices, and this means bringing pain to some, for the sake of greater good. This is sometimes not my entity to judge who is right or who is wrong.

History has shown and it may seem pragamtically true that the victor will be right and the losers will be wrong.

But for me, I will look this way. The victor is the one that the time and Gods have chosen to support it, and thereby winning the hearts of people, politically and winning the help of Gods religiously. And the loser might be right, but it is just plain unlucky that he is at the wrong time.

So much for being that "Worldly" ...

Arigo Para Slempre once more. May the power be with all of us ...
