Physician, heal thyself

Time to crawl to a corner and pretend that I am mute.
I don't blame the TSA test, it's all my fault.

I surprised myself by writing an essay so lousy that even a fool could have done better.
Coincidentally, I am that fool.

I know that I could have done much better.



Helping others? Forget it, I can't even help myself. Ironic isn't it?

Update:

Somehow my mind just cleared itself up and I am feeling much better now.

I wonder whether self-help authors actually read their own books for inspiration, because sometimes even the most rational will have irrational thoughts. I didn't read any self-help books to recover though.

I've just proven myself wrong. I successfully helped myself this time.

2 Timothy 1:7 - God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but the Spirit of power and love and self-control.

Reasons why you should park responsibly in HELP

These are the consequences.

Think again.

Obloquy

Prior to the furore, she broke her racquet in rage after losing the first set.

Kanye West interrupting Taylor Swift's winning speech during the MTV awards, he claims that Beyonce should have won instead.

Having heard the news, Obama calls Kanye West a 'Jackass'

Is Kanye West that great? Kris Allen and The Fray's cover of 'Heartless' is far better than his Auto-tune music.

Magnanimity

Marketed as 'Durable Performance', and it could barely last 5 minutes

Aren't we just fed up? We are just sick and tired of being cheated every time we read the news, walk about the streets or arrive on a blog (this blog) which rarely updates.

So we have a problem.

Would it be different if the shuttlecock did not carry the 'durability' tag? It would most probably make a difference, people would not have high hopes and might not purchase it in the first place. Oh, companies produce goods to be sold.

A simple solution to this problem is to not buy this product in the future. However, sometimes we don't have a choice don't we?

Locke argued for liberty from natural rights, Mill from Utilitarianism and Kant using metaphysics. We on the other hand, talk about liberty based on our common sense. Derogatory remarks against a particular race is commonplace within private discussions and sometimes even speeches by prominent figures.

People nowadays conveniently brand themselves as stalwart supporters of unity. People calling for fairness, equality and justice are nothing new to the most of us. Other than that, people who say one thing and do another is just too familiar.

The subject of racism often leads to discussions on the ISA and Sedition Act.

Why the need of oppressive laws? Thomas Hobbes writes:

Hereby it is manifest, that during the time men live without a common Power to keep them all in awe, they are in that condition which is called Warre; and such a warre, as is of every man, against every man.

It basically means that we must be forced to live in peace by an absolute power, else we will always be in a state of conflict.

A fascist was right?

Pewter-ware

Finally, a win in a debate tournament!


The path towards the championship trophy wasn't really a smooth one. Faced many challenges and worthy opponents along the way.

Somehow God shaped this journey in such a way that we will be able to survive and to get accustomed to the BP format of debating.

I really enjoy the BP format over the Asians format now. It's really unpredictable as it's either suicide, murder or murdered! :)


Although we're the champions, I feel ambivalent and I don't know why.


I think this belief is somewhat true: You can win all the tournaments in the world, amass as much money as you can and maybe achieve all the greatest awards and recognition in the world.

..and still end up feeling depressed.


So what? Everything ceases to exist at the point of death.

HOWEVER,

God is, was and will be there with us. Without Him, life would be nothing but meaningless.



He is our meaning of life. Praise God for everything.
