Systems after systems.

was at kinokuniya for the past 2 days. Stucked there for hours after hours, jotting down notes about it and all. lol.

"How an Economy Grows and Why It Crashes" by Peter D. Schiff. Was really a refreshing experience. Talking about the selfishness about people about personal gains and such.
It reflects on 3 people. Started off as fishermens and the currency they used are "fish notes".
Basically, the book was depicting the storyline in the United States.

Well, other than analytical benefits from the book, there are several moral pricipals that served as 'retrieval cues'. things that really pointed it all out on my face.

"Materialistic wealth can satisfy human's desire only so much."

Haha, in fact, i'll be heading Japan this coming week.
Tokyo, Disney Sea? Osaka, Universal studio?

Lol, actually frankly speaking. I was least interested in going initially. Aunt Meiling, had a chat with me. Was about family bonding.

You see, not to boast but i mean, all these material wealth will never satisfy you in the long run.

This is gonna be the 3rd country im travelling abroad this year. I mean, crazy isn't it? Like how fortunate I am but yet so dissatisfied about life. But yeah, aunt ML was right. Memories with family will be the one that remains.

& material wealth and other shits will just be a medium that facilitates the event of nurturing memories.

Sometimes it ain't about striving for the best.. maybe it is all about trying our best to fight for our love ones.

Midnight train.

2 types of personality.
A "thinker" and the other, a "feeler".

the harder the person thinks, the weirder the person behaves. Or rather, doing things uniquely. Why?
Because the person's worldview belongs to a different platform in comparison to the society.

& the more intimate the person "feels", the more he/she has the tendency to find a community. Simplicity takes root in the heart of that person. having a kind heart etcetc.

Yes, affiliation is widely sought after. But I believe through self-actualizing, it brings life to the other side of the coin.

Everyone is growth oriented and has the tendency to pursue goals that are deemed pleasurable in their eyes.

I believe all humans are generally good in nature. But if performance traps such as societal pressures are acting against them, they'd turn nasty.
Defense mechanism within the person's mind is triggered, causing them to backstab.. pulling people down.. etc.

Being associated in a large community brings warmth. But walking down that narrow road alone opens our blinded eyes.

Which side do you wanna go?
Or, which side are you in?

There is no such thing as having the best of both world :)

Permanent.

Will you think that you're all alone,
when there is no one to hold your hand?
When all you know seems so far away,
and everything is temporary, rest your head.


Your heart is a muscle, squeezing blood, in and out.
A muscle that will wear out eventually.
Bit by bit, we'll learn new things through the exposures of life.
We'll condition ourselves to what we've experienced.

Each of us is allocated only a certain number of heartbeats before our heart stop altogether.

How will you plan to live the rest of your life?

Find your personal meaning.
Find your existential purpose.

"Move on with life then."

Empathy.

Typing down thoughts at this point of time isn't really a wise thing to do.
Lol, school is damn hectic right now.

So I had dinner with a friend at about 10.30pm.

School is always from 9am till 7pm at least. & when im back home, it gets so moody, lethargic and all.

Had one of the best talks, hidden emotions were triggered unintentionally lol. Putting oneself in another person's shoe really do help. No matter how strong the person's personality is, that person wouldn't be strong all the way through.
