Quote - "Why am I on Earth?"

What's your first answer at this instance?

One day i was travelling in TransIsland and on the way to Funan. As i was passing by Queensway shopping center, a banner with these words hung across and above its entrance caught my attention immediately. I was wondering to myself if it was another Christian campaign kind of thing - but i never found out.

even after reached Funan, i've been pondering over this question and i was amazed by how many ways you can answer it. And it tells alot about the person answering.

It leads me back to topics like "Goal in Life", "Meaning of Life", etc...

Believe in a "Best Method"

Today, I pen my suggestion that in every situation or problem, there will always be a "Best Method" to proceed on from there or to handle it. I raised this suggestion back in camp during one of the heated discussion. The purpose of my suggestion is to solve the apparent deadlock of "Should we kill 1 to save 10". (which to me is a no brainer question, but some appeared to enjoy confusing it with many other less important considerations). First and foremost, knowing the implication of the existence of a "Best Method in every situation" puts meaning to our discussion, otherwise, it's just useless talk. This is something I left out during the bunk-debate and i regretted not having the chance to clarify. The implication is this: - If a "Best Method" exist, then we can say there is no other better choice than to choose the best method. Thus we should always choose the best method. - If a "Best Method" exist, and if a systematic way to dis...
