Even though the word 'stupid' has a negative meaning, that doesn't mean it is unacceptable. We are all stupid, not seeing what the truth is by ourselves. We thought we are so smart, know what our ancestors always crave to know. But do we 'really' know or how can we be sure what we know is the 'real truth' and not the 'crafted truth' by a group or groups of someone? Do we really think that the birth of all lives in this bluey planet an 'ordinary' happening? While in other planet we've capable to investigate don't contain any lifeforms, the word 'birth' seems like the greatest miracle of all for Mars, Venus, Pluto, and so on. It's our stupid mistake to regard 'birth' as 'ordinary'. There are so many things in our reckonings that we used to call 'knowledge,' which turn out to be just false conceptions. Do you really think 'marriage' is a sacred ceremony? I think not. The purpose of marriage is just to announce the couple to live together, that's all and no priest is necessary. We are taught to believe things that aren't really true. I ain't a stoic but just someone who think that stupidity is the definition the human beings around the globe deserve. This stupidity is what keeps us alive, encourages us to explore, and approach the real truth.

As in one of Chinese sayings 'the greatest achievement is to start acting,' I agree with it perfectly. To start something does require a great effort and courage. But I'd rather put it 'it is of greater success, when you keep on doing without hesitation.'

A computer course on web design I gave today has some concrete idea in it. Graphic design is the balance, or the 'golden mean,' between two opposites--art and commercial world. 'Tis the 'golden mean' that keeps our lives in equilibrium. The Buddhism mindsets are often misinterpreted by its followers. What a pity us fools!

Maybe it's true that beyond the particles of atom lies not the 'nothingness' but the being of 'blankness'. What the Blind has always seen is the black tiny speck that forms the so-called 'darkness'. Our beings just serve the purpose of filling the blank canvas created billions of years ago--the beginning of time and space--before everything condenses into the same old big giant matter waiting to cyclically bangs again. Why must we follow the same cycle from time to time? 'Nirvana' is the ultimate goal of our lives. No more.

There're so many things I wish to mumble-jumble out. I'll manage to write as often as I can.
