Tolerating and Accepting

I've finally overcomed my laziness and updated Peiru's blog address on the side link. Thanks for the birthday presents! practical indeed. i like. =)

i thought i having been writing for very long already, but one new post each month appears to be still reasonable.

Just read Peiru's post (dated Friday, February 17, 2006, brokeback mountain)about some story book and then and a movie which i think is stupid then "we should not just tolerate but also accept". i guess it's much easier to tolerate than accept.

i tried to make alot of people accept my ideas, but then end up tolerating me. i personally preach toleration than acceptance actually. because i believe accepting without believe is bad, accepting with believe is call enlightenment. accepting could also mean accepting the seeming fact that i cannot be saved, and just leave me alone.

so i when i try to deliever my sermon, i will say, "now, do you agree?" instead of "now, do you accecpt". "And if you agree with me, please be enlightened".

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.

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...
