Quote - "Life Sucks, According to Buddhists"

I was surfing once again.. and as usual i always stumble upon things that are new, interesting and full of excitement and life. Today, i found this line, and i quote its title: "Life Sucks, According to Buddhists".

I never once dared to write about religious stuff even though i'm full of it - the negate of it - to be exact. Simply because i try so hard NOT to appear to criticise and thus causing religious unhappiness that may flame into riots... (WAH.. haha.. i not so li hai lah)...

So many peeps around me are christians either their whole life, up till now, or once upon a time, except myself. So i do have lots to talk about Christ.

Taosim is also something very interesting but often neglected be many contemporary thinkers.

Buddhism is my favourite.. cos it deals with a lot of human nature and philosophies, but then again, people these days don't see eye to eye with Siddhartha Gautama's discovery about the dreadful lives people are going through.

Never had the chance to know more about the Muslims and Hindus... but one fine day i shall, so won't comment on that now.

Of cos the author in this ariticle obviously wasn't quite well versed in Buddhism, but i hope the comments he have would have taught him a little bit more..

(notice i still didn't make any personal stand here?) keke~

For the Elderly

PART 1: I went back to school today after another very long time. At some point in time, I went to look for the toilet. Although there are many toilets in NUS, it seems that everytime when you need it it's just so far away from your current location. To get to the nearest toilet, you need to traverse 300 yards west, conquer 2 nothern hills and double jump up another 10 flight of steps. Now that you are about to complete your quest, the worse thing that can happen and which it did, is see a yellow sign board placed in front of the entrance saying "floor wet"! What happens next is curse and swear hurled at the toilet auntie inside. I have already lost count of how many times I scolded these aunties silently in my heart, "Lunch time clean what toilet!!! so many people want to use you clean!!! can't you clean other times??" I was not alone, from our body expressions and unanimous lip sync-ing, I conclude that we are all equally F5-ed and annoyed... PART 2: On th...

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...
