Natural Aristocracy --- John Adams, the lesser known founding father of U.S., VP of G. Washington twice and 2nd President of U.S. Kennedy family, well known through the tragedies of JFK and RFK, this week, by the passing of the last brother, Teddy... All of them originated from Massachusetts, a coincident or what? Each politicians, I believe, sought to come up to the stage with a heart to do the righteousness for the public, yet, how many of them, once in power, stood by their original goal and serve the needed? That is the questions each public figure should ask themselves everyday. It's easy to loss oneself in the circle of power, not to mention the luring of powerful monies. -- As I watched Teddy's last memorial since last night, I just can't kept felt sorry for him... each of the family tragedies just lays heavy burdens on his shoulder, and yet, he carry them through, not only for his family, but also turn it into energies to aid others in needs. That is wh...

Somewhere out there. -- Somewhere out there, there's a hope, a hope among us that, some day, there will not have any disasters around the world, a hope that each ethnic group can live without chaos or arguments. Some day, each individual will realize, realize that step on top of others isn't the best way to work around things... harmonic society isn't a dream, utopia is not a mirage... All of these may come, in time, when each individual is, weak enough, suffer enough, and walk enough, from bottom of the Earth... A dream may come, when, we let go of us... -TT --

慈孝 -- 慈悲，孝道，禮儀。 我想，這應該是古老中國文化的一些思想和目標，只是，老祖宗們似乎沒有留下一些標準來讓後人衡量耶。。 經典裏頭的東東，老實說，我沒什麼讀過，對台灣來說，聽說我的官方紀錄是小學肆業，理論上來說，嗯，我是個沒文化的人。。 古人的三綱五常，孔老夫子的論語，朱子的理學，聽說在聯考或高考中都要準備的喔？ 那表示說，亞洲成長的孩子們，應該都有認知吧？ 理論上。。 這麼多年來，東走走西晃晃，不知是我去的地方怪，還是沒遇到正常人，總是少有機會見識到這些古書上所描素的人或事。。。 這是古人的標準太高了還是什麼？ 亦或是我對書中的理解錯誤？？ 亞洲媒體報導的，電視中的，生活上的，怎麼都沒讓我有點書上的感覺？ 這是被西方文化摧殘的結果嗎？？ 小孩子們跟我說名牌，中老年人說政治，青年才俊談論汽車手機與投資； 當我到江西廟裡混時，道士們好奇的是美國人平均一年薪水多少；台灣的善心人士與我談論慈悲心與因果外加算命。。 末了拼命商討說她們是學佛的，所以一切皆是心中有佛。。佛法無邊，慈悲為懷，嗯，阿彌陀佛。。 另外一些媽媽們鼓吹神人理論，所以她們會得永生，我們屬於迷途羔羊，要記得買門票入場。。 不然天堂號列車會走遠。 不過，有個奇怪的地方，也屬於共同點，那就是，台灣與世界的股市如何如何，她們都非常清楚。 外加一些屬於辛密事件，她們也都瞭若指掌，也會熱心十足的與你分享，深怕你不知道那 CIA 是她家開的，小歐是她的下屬。 對於這些上流人士，我是望之莫及，我想，應該我一輩子都追不上的。。 我覺得，我還是做我的沒文化人自在些。。 上頭風大說，我還是玩玩泥巴就好了。。 -- 嗯，這個嘛，那麼，亞洲到底現下重視些什麼呢？我其實非常想知道。。畢竟，離開那麼久了，也是會想知道一些資訊的。。 好嘉在，遠房親戚有一門幾乎都是做老師的，有優良傳統。。 府城人氏，百多年前屬於繁華社區，人才輩出，血統純正，至今依然是門風不減，刻苦克勞，點水成瀝，不容易啊～ 話說，機會來了，那就不要放過，好好研究下台灣的教育思想也是件不錯的事情。。 只是，嗯，這個，研究觀察後發現，ㄜ，禮儀之說似乎跟八股文一起下葬了，慈悲無我的戲碼停播了，孝道無涯的書賣完了。。。 不過還好，物質上的需求，增加了。。 有減就要有增嘛～ 不能吃虧說。 我想，現在人的生活追求，也許真的不一...

笑看風雲 --- 嗯，今天其實是想到秋官，不知為啥說。。 有些歌還是他唱的好聽說。。 --- 世紀之戰 大時代過客 (2000) (ㄜ。。 YouTube 沒有耶。。 lagging 就，將就些啦。。) 看不到就只好 link 囉～ Link: 大時代過客 --- 笑看風雲 (1994) -- 楚留香 (1979)

Point of Shadow --- Day by day, each sunrise creates shadow for each of us, we thought we are in the bright sunlight, yet, once we stand up with the sun, we also created the shadow for those behind us... Point to point, where's the end note? I thought I rid of the past, rid of the memories of unwanted, in fact, those tedious memories are just, click away from my heart... never gone far, and never been erased... it's just rest in the dark, waiting to be explore... human memory is an art... Shadow arises, leaves my thought in the wild, where should it headed, when to rest, I know, I'm about to be tired, maybe I'm already tired, just don't know yet... abstract abound, I do, need time to rest, and a soothing place to dive myself into... Sept, Oct, years flyby without trace, typical breathing pattern still, yet mindful tasks... all, leave the point of no return; which, is the path you led me into, without mercy... What can I do to prevail? I do not know, it co...

葬花鳴 --- 葬花鳴 徐風清漸筱白夜， 八方已逝薇行遠， 載載遙望遠方星， 落落無言葉滿窪。。 徐也，無心牽掛鎖滿盈， 歸也，笑笑它言末道哀， 塗也，草草兩目烏雲奈， 復也，納納夕陽待朝時， 落也，保黯橋頭獨行木， 損也，墨雨流塌有心人。 -- 葬花梧桐。

A Walk to Remember -- An '02 Movie by Mandy Moore and Shane West; I actually had this dvd and tv recorded file for couple years, yet just never really want to watch it... probably I just refuse to get into it, though it's a somewhat typical romance movie, just that the release time back then, wasn't my prime at all... Love, is, arbitrally, by sets of condition or backgrounds, never a fixed value to it; thus, the fun per se... Even since mid '01, my path of it, closed... With the closed door, I observed more and aware of a lot of things that made life what it is. Honest to say, the closed door actually gave me more knowledge than I ever want... which, to these days, I do not which is better... "Love is like a wind, never sees it, but can feel it"... In life, what many of us want is actually the opposite... did we lost the ability to feel? I'm more incline to say yes, especially with modern education and society norms. Path to wonderland, i...
