Well I didn't make 7 in a row I guess but anyways 7 update in 8 days is
probably a record.
First off, the day just passed but Happy B-day to Kevin.
No video this time on this update. so I guess this will be more of a ranting.
People who don't like my rants should probably skip this one as this one is
gonna be longer than my usual rant.
Rant
Alright feel like ranting. Lately I have come the the conclusion that humanity
has failed. We have evolved into a society that where we live in constant illusion.
For example, everyone who have had some social studies in U.S. have probably
heard of Adam Smith and his freedom of choice in the market. We might all think
that we live in such a society right now. Freedom is something that everyone throws
around without thought of what it actually means. Milton Friedman, the Nobel
Prize winning economist had a book named Free to Choose which I have read way
back in the day. At very beginning he raised the question of whether we really lived
in a free society or under the false sense of one. It's kinda of like going into a restaurant
and you are free to order anything on the menu however you are still bound by the
limitation of the menu. We live our lives basking in our freedom when in actuallity
society have placed numerous limitation upon us. How many of us have really wondered
how much society have shaped our decision and whether society is actually right?
I know I know...... I ideal of right in society is even more of an illusion, anyways
that's a rant for another day. I see that humanity has set itself up to fail and yet
the major is oblivious to this, while those that sees this is content with our current
course. People might have no idea what I am saying and maybe I don't make any real
sense but I hope people will give it some thought. Anyways I think I might have gotten
off track... Human grows up and changes, it would be ideal if everyone changes for the
better but that's not reality. We change for our own survival rather than for the benefit
of humanity. Maybe I'll catch a lot of flame for this but we gave names to a lot of
basic instinct and use it as an excuse for our actions. In the end have we actually make
any advances from our ancestors?(And I'm not talking about technical advances)
More ranting.......
Heros are everywhere, look back in history and we can call many figures heros. In
movies, we see heros all the time. I would rather live in a world without heros. I really
don't want to take anything away from heroic figures of the past so don't get me wrong.
However whenever there's a hero, that also means that there exist some wrong doings,
some sort of tragedy that needed someone to step up and assume that role. It's kinda
like the saying "no news is good news". That's enough ranting for now
