Now, close your eyes, and feel the light. What colour is it? Can't tell?
Well, look at something bright, a shape; focus your eyes on it and then close your eyes; can you still see it? If you are not blind, you should see it clearly printed on your eye lid.
My question will be - as you close your eyes, and still seeing that image; where is that image? is it in your brain, or is it seen by your eyes? You 'see' it because you 'remember' it or you 'see' it because your eyes 'keep' the image? If your eyes is keeping the image then it should be colourful as it is, but it isn't colourful; if your brain is keeping the image then the image shouldn't fade away rapidly. If the image was 'remembered' than regardless of how long we close our eyes, we should 'see' it clearly. But we are not!
So what is it? What is happening? What is the mechanism?
Why we can remember face but takes a lot of effort to remember name?

What if..!
Question-----------------------------------------Probability of True
What if Religion is a Fake?-----------------------0.5
What if Religion is not Fake?---------------------1-0.5 = 0.5
What if Science is a Fake?-----------------------0.5
What if Science is not Fake?---------------------1-0.5 = 0.5
What if Religion & Science is a Fake--------0.5 x 0.5 / 0.5 = 0.5
What if Religion & Science is not Fake------1-0.5 = 0.5
Religion Fake & Science Not Fake---------0.5 x 0.5 = 0.25
Religion Not Fake & Science Fake---------0.5 x 0.5 = 0.25
Fuck Religion, Science is not Fake---------------(1-0.5)-0.5 = 1
Fuck Science, Religion is not Fake---------------(1-0.5)-0.5 = 1
Fuck Science, Fuck Religion---------------------(1-0.5)*(1-0.5) = 0.25
Religion + Faith------------------------------?? (brain not needed here)
Science + Evidence------------------------------0.5+(1-0.5) = 1

E=m*c*c
E=m*c*c
Many associates Einstein's wonder equation, the E equals m c squared to be the evil who created the atomic bomb. Well, they are wrong.
What Einstein meant by that equation was the ratio between Energy and Mass is always constant, which is the square of speed of light, c.
He also imply that, for any particle, as its speed or velocity increases, energy also increases and its mass also increases. Well, one maybe don't understand this, but think of a stone thrown at you. Let say that the stones are thrown at equal speed, but different sizes, from small to large. You might die immediately if the large stone is thrown at you. The larger the object, the more energy it carries.
Certain particles has constant mass but of excessive energy, therefore the ratio exceeds the squared of the speed of light. How will this possible? is there any other particle faster than light? Definitely. Einstein postulated that speed of light is not constant but finite. Some heavy particle may travel 98% the speed of light. Some particle maybe 102% the speed of light.

Virtue and Knowledge - Plato, Socrates
The questions that were pondered in Plato's Protagoras were; is virtue knowledge, and can virtue be taught. Protagoras' position was that virtue and knowledge are different things and that virtue can be taught. Socrates, on the other hand, held that virtue is knowledge, but that it can't be taught. Keep in mind that Protagoras and the other Sophists claimed to be teaching virtue.

"Moyangku Berteriak Dari Kubur" - LB Philosophy
Moyangku berteriak dari kubur,
"Apakah benar yang aku dengar ini?,
Sejak bila Negeri ku ini miskin?
...Aku tidak mengerti erti miskin,
Apa lagi tempat tumpah darahku ini;
Gudang padi ku tidak habis 7 generasi,
Sehingga kelabu beras, sehingga kembali jadi debu,
Tidak habis;
Tanah tempat aku pijak,
Benih kacang panjang yang separuh hidup,
Bisa tumbuh sehingga 7 generasi;
Aku berkawan dengan hutan rimba,
Sehingga 7 keturunan pun tidak habis kayu kayan;
Perlukah aku berbicara tentang kerbau dan ayam ternak?
Perlukah aku berbicara tentang sungai yang jernih?
Perlukah aku berbicara tentang ikan-ikan liar,
Yang 7 keturunanpun tidak habis,
Walau berkongsi dengan duyunan 7 keturunan memerang;
Takkan habis sudah semua itu,
Atau terlalu lamakah aku sudah mati?
Hingga tidak terjaga apa yang aku tinggalkan.
Aku marah, walaupun aku sudah dalam kubur ini,
Aku marah kerana generasi ke-8 sudah hilang akal;
Aku marah kerana aku peduli,
Anak cucuku yang masi melata, miskin di Negeriku yang kaya;
Mana pergi tukang-tukang, man pergi penjaga,
Mereka sudah jadi pencuri?
Negeriku yang kaya ini mereka jarah,
Gudang padi seketurunanpun tidak ada sudah?;
Terlalu lama aku di kubur.
Biarlah. Aku sudah mati, Aku gembira,
Kerana seketika aku kaya,
Bersma dengan negeriku yang kaya ini."
"Engkau sudah mati, buat apa kau peduli!"
"Ia, benar"

Diversity of Species - I finally understood to bits
I support the concept of Evolution. I don't agree with Creation. So I guess I am an Evolutionist, not Creationist, so to speak.
Evolution is remarkable. If one understand it to bits I mean. One might study biology, agrees with Darwin's idea; but it does not mean he or she understood evolution, or the diversity of species for that matter.
Diversity of species is one of the key question that evolutionist and creationist disagree always. Creationist 'want' everything 'been' created. Evolutionist, in the other hand, always suggests that there is origin of everything.
I know that it is so hard to understand why the diversity. Why there are differences between every species. It is difficult to accept that bird and elephant was descended one form of species very long time ago. It is very hard to accept everything because what wee see is differences.
Well the best way to understand the diversity of species is not to ask the question 'how two different species be similar', but to ask 'how two similar species be so different'. Shifting one's point of view is always the hardest thing to do.
Although explaining why there is diversity in species is lengthy, I shall bring the focus of discussion to the element that creationist always forgot to take into consideration, which is time, and the magnitude of time itself.
Time magnitude of time is the key component of why there is such diversity. Scientists found that genes of all species are relatively similar in some sense. Human genes are only 1% different from Chimps, and a few percent different from fish. Suppose a fish lives in an aquatic region, thriving. Like always, offspring and their parents a different in look and features. Some features are from the female and some are from the male. Imagine for a bit that in many offspring, there is some random mutation of genes, thus that offspring has one different feature and that feature did not came from either of the parent. If that feature gives an advantage to that offspring, it will be good. If that feature gives disadvantage to the offspring, the bad news. Imagine for a bit that there is predator to this species of fish. Lets imagine that the new feature that the offspring has due to that random mutation of genes is that the colour of the skin become dark, while the parents are bright. And this darkening of skin gives an advantage of the offspring to camouflage and gets undetected by the predator. If this offspring can survive until it gets to the cycle of reproduction, the new feature will be propagated through his generation, the dark skin generation of fish. Thus, there will be two generations of fish, of similar species but of different features. This differences will be noticeable only after a magnitude of time and it is often large magnitude. It takes generations to propagate the new features. One mutation may causes the fish to be able to get oxygen from air. Some mutation may cause the fish to have longer limb. For the fish, it is just happen to have that feature, no realisation of its advantage yet, until a moment comes where the new feature gives them advantage over the others. Since there is food chain in all species, every features developed can have remarkable impact on the survival or destruction of that species. Thus Darwin recognises that only the fit survives, and it is natural selection.
It just happened that for many-many magnitude of time, new features came about due to mutation of genes once in a while, until it gets to ancestor of human and chimpanzee. Along the way, the genes of their ancestor mutated and thus came along human like figure, and another mutation causes chimp like figure. Chimp so adapted to their environment, and human also so adapted to their environment. Thus even they are similar, they look different, just because of that 1% difference in genes. The 1% accounts for genes that are turned on in human but not in chimps or vice versa.
Imagine, for every species with new features adapted to its environment. If the species' genes mutate again, whole new generation will be created, which probably look alike but somehow different. And after many-many generations, it is common sense to think that the parent should be so different in look and features compared to the species many-many generations after.
Magnitude of time that one should think of is not in years, in tens of years but in millions of years. This mutation is so commonplace in species that has short life span but not in species with longer life span. One good example is the virus and bacteria that causes illness to human species. The more we use anti-bacteria, the more the bacteria mutates and resistant to the anti-bacteria.
There is no explanation of species being 'created'. I have not heard any reasonable explanation. It is only 'explained' by 'having faith' that species are 'created'. That is not an explanation. That is a Conjecture.

Jewish Bohemian
It is interesting to note in Hebrew, Arabic and Sanskrit there is no word for religion; the concept of religion is a manufactured apparatus meant to skew reality by making it appear as if they had captured God in there story, or book or even on video. Theirs is a false witness and like every witness who stands before the judge the testimony of the witness requires no corroboration.

When You Are Hungry, You Should Eat!
When you are hungry, you should eat. When you are thirsty, you should drink. Simple statements.
I can always say this to people. In fact, anyone can say this, without hesitation, to anyone. It is a clear message. In fact, it is a simple message that feeble mind can understand, comprehend, grasp. How difficult it is to understand that. Thus how difficult it is to follow. Extremely simple, when you are hungry, you should eat.
Lets think. The irony of this statement is that it is so difficult to follow, at least in some situation. And at least once in their lifetime human been into such situation. How easy or how difficult is it to understand the difficulties that lies behind that statement? Well, only the one that has experienced it knows that answer. Or if one still unable to understand what I mean, just imagine our parents, skipping lunch just because he or she had used all the cash he or she has to buy our new uniform for school. In the midst of hunger, they persist. In some situation, the statement 'you should eat' will truly hurt.
Why there is pain when we are hungry? Hunger is not fun. Its like a craving for drug. Thirst likewise. Well, there is no pain in hunger if we are plentiful. Hunger, oddly, goes along when we have less.
It is so easy for human with plentiful to speak about 'When you are hungry, you should eat'. It is easy because they have plenty. But it is so hurting for human with need to do it. Logically, why should the hungry go hungry if there is something to eat. And should one resist himself from eating if he is able to eat. This question often missed by the human of plenty.

Albert Einstein's Words on Spirituality and Religion. . .
So many ways religions used Albert Einstein to promote their religion. This is his views on Spirituals and God.
Albert Einstein's Words on Spirituality and Religion. . .
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(The following quotes are taken from The Quotable Einstein, Princeton University Press unless otherwise noted)
"My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble minds. That deeply emotional conviction of the presence of a superior reasoning power, which is revealed in the incomprehensible universe, forms my idea of God."
(The following is from Einstein and Religion by Max Jammer, Princeton University Press)
"I'm not an atheist, and I don't think I can call myself a pantheist. We are in the position of a little child entering a huge library filled with books in many languages. The child knows someone must have written those books. It does not know how. It does not understand the languages in which they are written. The child dimly suspects a mysterious order in the arrangement of the books but doesn't know what it is. That, it seems to me, is the attitude of even the most intelligent human being toward God. We see the universe marvelously arranged and obeying certain laws but only dimly understand these laws. Our limited minds grasp the mysterious force that moves the constellations."
(The following is from The Quotable Einstein)
"Thus I came...to a deep religiosity, which, however, reached an abrupt end at the age of 12. Through the reading of popular scientific books I soon reached a conviction that much in the stories of the Bible could not be true....Suspicion against every kind of authority grew out of this experience...an attitude which has never left me."
"I don't try to imagine a God; it suffices to stand in awe of the structure of the world, insofar as it allows our inadequate senses to appreciate it."
"Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind."
"I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the objects of his creation, whose purposes are modeled after our own - a God, in short, who is but a reflection of human frailty. It is enough for me to contemplate the mystery of conscious life perpetuating itself through all eternity, to reflect upon the marvelous structure of the universe which we can dimly perceive and to try humbly to comprehend even an infinitesimal part of the intelligence manifested in Nature."
"The scientist is possessed by the sense of universal causation. His religious feeling takes the form of a rapturous amazement at the harmony of natural law, which reveals an intelligence of such superiority that , compared with it, all the systematic thinking and acting of human beings is an utterly insignificant reflection."
". . . In spite of all this, I don't let a single opportunity pass unheeded, nor have I lost my sense of humor. When God created the ass he gave him a thick skin." Einstein: The Life and Times by Ronald W. Clark, Avon Books.
"Where dull-witted clansmen of our tribe were praying aloud, their faces turned to the wall, their bodies swaying to and fro. A pathetic sight of men with a past but without a future." (Regarding his visit to the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem, February 3, 1923)
"Should we be unable to find a way to honest cooperation and honest pacts with the Arabs, then we have learned absolutely nothing during our 2,000 years of suffering and deserve all that will come to us."
"I appeal to all men and women, whether they be eminent or humble, to declare that they will refuse to give any further assistance to war or the preparation of war."
"It is my belief that the problem of bringing peace to the world on a supranational basis will be solved only by employing Gandhi's method on a larger scale."
The following is from Elsa Einstein, Albert Einstein's wife, regarding Einstein's development of the theory of general relativity. It's taken from the outstanding book Einstein and Religion by Max Jammer. It's originally taken from Charles Chaplin's autobiography.
The Doctor came down in his dressing gown as usual for breakfast but he hardly touched a thing. I thought something was wrong, so I asked what was troubling him. "Darling," he said, "I have a wonderful idea." And after drinking his coffee, he went to the piano and started playing. Now and again he would stop, making a few notes then repeat: "I've got a wonderful idea, a marvelous idea!" I said: "Then for goodness' sake tell me what it is, don't keep me in suspense." He said: "It's difficult, I still have to work it out."
She told me he continued playing the piano and making notes for about half an hour, then went upstairs to his study, telling her that he did not wish to be disturbed, and remained there for two weeks. "Each day I sent him up his meals," she said, "and in the evening he would walk a little for exercise, then return to his work again. Eventually," she said, "he came down from his study looking very pale. "That's it," he told me, wearily putting two sheets of paper on the table. And that was his theory of relativity."

Is there limit to Randomness?
*Sigh*
This thought again...
What is random?
How many random numbers out there?
Is random finite or infinite?
Is randomness a rational definition?
Or is randomness a real world entity?
Is random mean chaos?
If random mean chaos, is chaos mean random?
Or is it that random is chaos?
And chaos is random?
Or is it totally two different thing?
How one can tell if random is not, or is chaos?
Is random measurable?
Is random quantifiable?
If it is quantifiable, then will it mean that it is finite?
How can something finite be not rational?
Is there rationality in randomness?
How many random numbers between 0 and 1?
Is the largest integer unknown to man is random integer?
Or is the smallest rational numbers unknown to man is random?
What is the smallest random number?
What is the largest random number?
If 0 is the smallest random number, then 0 will be unknown. But why it is known?
What is the next number after 0?
Is there any other numbers between 0 and the next number after 0?

Humanity's Stupidest Question.
I think, philosophically, human had gone mad and insane. Insanity beyond human's own comprehension. Why the mad and insane? Well, human asks themselves the question 'why are we here?', 'why are we in this world?'.
Of course, human, like always, like how the genes wants it, always wanted to feel important. No matter how small. Human wanted to feel the belongingness to something called 'special-ness'. Human wanted to feel the authority and acclaim the existence of such authority, though unseen and invisible, but it is depicted (or rather 'assumed') as always 'there', the authority that makes human mind feel calm and purposeful. That question is not a question. It is a statement of confirmation! It is always feel good when somebody tells us 'You are special!'. It is a kind of drug.
There is not much to the question really. The question is just an allegory to human confirmation and self belief, about the answer that is already been defined in human's own mind. Why ask the question if an answer is solid fixed in the mind?
Philosophers asks those question -philosophically-, to understand the total meaning of life. Religion asks those question to satisfy their mind, hungry of 'good feeling'. What else can you ask for if you are, by default, came about to this world, bearing a mark of 'specially delivered with a task to do'. You don't do anything else but to live inside that 'purpose', and feel good, and continually flourished with feel good questions and feel good answers.
Then why human asks that question, particularly religious bunch? Well, only one reason - they are out of their mind.
Human should live as human, just like elephant lives just like how elephants should live. If an elephant should ask themselves 'why they are there?', well, I truly doubt it if they ever asked that stupid question. Human should see the world of now and not tomorrow. Yesterday is always nice though. It is pointless to anticipate another world to live in after this one. I mean why bother? It is another world anyway. Human lie to themselves by starting to ask the 'why are we here?' question. Truly, what human is actually trying to say is "I decide to believe that there is GOD".
Feel Good for the brain, is a free drug, endless supply!
Of course, human, like always, like how the genes wants it, always wanted to feel important. No matter how small. Human wanted to feel the belongingness to something called 'special-ness'. Human wanted to feel the authority and acclaim the existence of such authority, though unseen and invisible, but it is depicted (or rather 'assumed') as always 'there', the authority that makes human mind feel calm and purposeful. That question is not a question. It is a statement of confirmation! It is always feel good when somebody tells us 'You are special!'. It is a kind of drug.
There is not much to the question really. The question is just an allegory to human confirmation and self belief, about the answer that is already been defined in human's own mind. Why ask the question if an answer is solid fixed in the mind?
Philosophers asks those question -philosophically-, to understand the total meaning of life. Religion asks those question to satisfy their mind, hungry of 'good feeling'. What else can you ask for if you are, by default, came about to this world, bearing a mark of 'specially delivered with a task to do'. You don't do anything else but to live inside that 'purpose', and feel good, and continually flourished with feel good questions and feel good answers.
Then why human asks that question, particularly religious bunch? Well, only one reason - they are out of their mind.
Human should live as human, just like elephant lives just like how elephants should live. If an elephant should ask themselves 'why they are there?', well, I truly doubt it if they ever asked that stupid question. Human should see the world of now and not tomorrow. Yesterday is always nice though. It is pointless to anticipate another world to live in after this one. I mean why bother? It is another world anyway. Human lie to themselves by starting to ask the 'why are we here?' question. Truly, what human is actually trying to say is "I decide to believe that there is GOD".

I am in a brink of Madness!
I write too less these days. I have to stop for a bit, my whole realm of thought is on my work. Though 'my work' is too abstract to be used to signify what I am doing, currently, right now, yesterday, today and tomorrow's work, one should understand that it is plural. Here is what I intended to complete;-
1. My Reed-Solomon Decoder based on Blahut's (2t) Time Domain Decoder algorithm. And then I will need to extend it to (2t+1) and (2t+2). Eventually, I suppose to come up with Reed-Solomon decoder which can correct up to (t+1, or maybe more) errors.
2. My LB-Triangle is progressing well. I had the necessary propositions written down, with corollary, which I intend to deliver it to Salina in a bit for checking. I can see at some parts which need a little bit more clarification, the mathematical notation seems a bit complicated.
3. I have an intuition that the LB-Triangle has a unique relation with Finite Field numbers. I had proof that the triangle works well in Prime Field. My intuition is that it should have some interesting properties in Finite Field Polynomials. I shall try Galois Field for a start. I just don't know when I may be able to start this.
4. My head is filled with, probably a dozens of Short Story, it might not be an original ones. Though an adaptation or re-narration, I think that an allegory to the actual story or myth may do the trick to get someone interested in reading.
5. My songs is waiting to be put to garageband. I had one for my friend's wedding song. I had a couple for praise and worship. My guitar is in the case, so I might have to do this very much later. I hope the tunes and the hums stick hard in my musical side of brain.

Conformance, it is a Disease.
Imagine, walking in a neighborhood of genius; and we happen to be not really a genius. They till see us as 'alien'. We, in the other hand, surely will see them as alien too.
We thought that nobody understands us and therefore we fell into deep depression. They, thought that we are some numbnuts who are trying to preach new culture.
Religion are built upon the culture of 'conformance'. It is a method of brainwash, rejecting any other thought, except the thought of being 'loyal', 'obedient', 'humble' and the utmost of all, 'unconditional submission' to the rule of the culture. The rules are unwritten, it is just a code of ethics mutually understood and transmitted through body languages and by indirect persuasion.
Individual who does not conform into the conformance is an alien to the culture and society. Black sheep of the family and an example of bad example. Since the rule of the game is 'majority wins', individuals which has conformance problem (according to the majority) will always loose (according to the majority).
However, in the eyes of the individual who has conformance problem, the majority is not a winner. The majority are just a bunch of idiots who are pushy. To keep his view is a continuous struggle as the majority struggles to push in their ideals and continuously attempts to 'correct' the view of the non-conformance ones. Some non-conformance thrive in this environment because of the richness of ideals to debate about. In most cases, the majority will choose not to engage in any intellectual conversation. They have no additional knowledge beyond their boundary.
Looking at it, both sides are non-conformance against each other, and both sides, by all definitions, conforms to their ideals. It is all perfectly harmonious. However, when any of them steps into the boundary of the other, and try to pull each other permanently into their territory, conflict grew and inharmonious they will become.
One good example is in the case of Multi Level Marketing's marketing concept. The 'seller' is pushing the ideal of being 'rich', 'achieving dream', 'successful', 'not being a failure', and so on to layman and normal people. But normal people have their own definition of those. And after these normal people lured and trapped into the concept and soon found out that it is just sweet talk and good word to force them to open their wallet, there normal people eventually revert back to their own ideals of being normal people. And when this happens, the MLM people accused these normal people as being 'lost focus'. Well, is it a 'lost focus' or is it that they realized that thats not their game?
Another good example is in the case of religion. In a community of similar faith, everybody are expected to follow the rules of conformance, none are to be different in anything, particularly in point of view. When one person have extra knowledge and that knowledge does not fit into the conformance, that one person is reckoned to be different, and also probably direct plain wrong. The rest of the community will push back the 'original' ideals into the mind of that one person until the community is satisfied. No one are deemed to be different in religion. In other words, conformance force smart people to be as dumb as them.
As usual, smart people choose NOT to submit to these conformance and choose to live they way they are. Enjoying life, and enjoy seeing others in trying to push their ideals into them.
Why I call it a disease? Because it spread through generations.

The Keymaker's Dilemma
In one fine town, there lives an old chap. His name is Smith. Everybody knows him. People in that town call him Lock Smith for his true talent of fixing rusty lock. Some of his good mates call him Rusty Smith, because he does smells rust at the end of the day when they sit down for a pint. Smith is an honest man, he is as honest as a donkey, his good old mates say. He didn't even fall for Mrs Lee's cry when she asked him to change her door lock, says another mates. Mrs Lee was some rich old lady who was trying to lock out her husband. Poor old Lee said Smith. He won't be dying in his bed for sure, he thought.
One day, while sitting on his nice confy chair at his balcony, watching the evening passes by, in coming in a rush a little boy, about 7, calling and crying. He was looking straight at Mr. Smith. With a very sad eye, with his left hand squeezing his right hand's thumb, he cried for help. "Please Mr. Smith", he cried. "You got to help my dad", he said.
The whole scene numbed Mr. Smith for a bit, my day should be over, he said in his heart. But what the heck, I'll help this innocent little boy he said. Very quickly he grab his tools and went to the boy. Without any words, the boy took Mr. Smith to his dad. At every corner that they pass by, the boy said "right over here Mr. Smith". Soon enough, they arrived at a bakery shop. Mr Smith looked around, and was puzzled with broken glass on the floor which he guessed came from a small window up on the wall. "Please be quick Mr Smith, my dad fell from the window to the other side" the little boy cried again. Mr. Smith can't help thinking what was happening there. So he asked. With sad eyes, the boy murmured that his dad was trying to get a cake he hid yesterday in that shop. It was for his little sister's birthday.
Mr. Smith paused for a while. He understood that the dad was trying to steal a cake for his daughter's birthday, but fell from the window and probably lying on the floor unconscious. Stealing, he said in his heart, is so wrong, he should go to jail for this he murmured. But this boy will be in trouble if the dad is not around. They are poor now, and what more will it become if the dad is gone, he ponder. Mr. Smith sat down, leaning against a wall, looking at the shop, the boy, the window. He has no trouble picking the door lock. He have done it many times for shop owners who forgot their keys.
The boy went to the broken glass, very carefully picked all the pieces and stack it by the wall. He took his shirt fold it square, he sweep the glass debris very carefully, pushing it near the wall. Probably the boy thought at least nobody get hurt if the glass is near the wall. Done that, the boy sat down underneath the window, just like what his dad wants him to do. Supposedly a short wait, he has been waiting for a very long while now.
If you are Mr. Smith. What will you do?

f(A)+f(B)=f(C)
I have a story. It goes like this.
f(A) lives in Alabama, nice place. He is a chap with nothing in particular. He is 21 years old, not very bright. All he does every day is watching the sun passes by from horizon to horizon. Very boring. About god, he has not a clue whatsoever.
f(B) is another guy worth telling. He is a smart guy, lives in Bhutan. Very literate and rich, he went to MIT when he was 15. Graduated as Geologist, he is now enjoying the beauty of Himalaya. His ancestors passes myth about how Himalaya was created by some mighty turbulence caused by some angry gods fighting. He knew these myth but enjoys its wit.
Everyday, at exactly 7:09 in the morning, f(A) wake up, jump out of bed and in to the loo to pee. Miles away, exactly at 7:09 as well, f(B) does exactly the same - jump aout of bed and straight to the loo to pee. Not only that, exactly at 1:00 f(A) sat on the dining chair and drink a glass of milk. Miles away, f(B), at 1:00, sat on the dining chair and drink milk too. And exactly at 6:00pm, f(A) sat on the balcony looking at the horizon, just like what f(B) is doing, looking at the setting sun.
Now, if you read this story about f(A) and f(B) independantly, you will not find anything interesting. So to add spices, I put f(A) and f(B) in the same page. You will definitely finds it peculiar and odd and very unlikely two events occuring at the same time, at two different places, on two unrelated individuals.
What if after I put both f(A) and f(B) in the same page, I told you that f(A) and f(B) are very religious and they are worshipping the same god that you worship. I tell you, very likely that you will forget about how impossible, how odd, how unlikely it is for two events to occur at the same time, at two different places.
In reality, events occurring at the same time are normal, it does happen, and it is not impossible to occur. We just don't see it, and there is nothing special about it. It is explainable mathematically with great accuracy. Events occurs naturally, and it does not wait for any divine intervention to occur.
Religious thought often exploit this natural phenomenon to gain attention. Not only that, they claim that only divine intervention can make it possible. I don't know how 'those expert' came up with such thing. To me, it is more like a lie though.
When comes to science, listen to the expert and the 'knowledged'. Don't waste your time listening to people who pretend to be an expert.

Perfect Design?
I was trying to make sense of the claim that human are 'perfect' or 'perfectly designed'. I can't help it but to think that that claim is a mere conjecture. However, there could be 'perfectness' in the design somehow.
One problem with the claim is that there is no explanation on why human mind have so much things that it does not know. And often the basis of a knowledge which is needed to further understand other knowledge remain unknown until one mind get in contact with the knowledge. All knowledge will definitely not known to human mind unless somewhere or somehow human min get in contact with that knowledge. I can't understand why that basis of knowledge was not there from the beginning. For example, the knowledge about metal. If the knowledge about metal or metallurgy exist in human mind as per the design of human, surely human will use metal in everything. But finds in archeology tell us that prehistoric human uses stone tools. Why stone tools? why not metal? Metal was only used probably only in the last 6000 years. It can't be of any sense if perfect human is lacking the knowledge to exploit nature to their benefit right from the start. It is truly a sign of an imperfect design of human.
Anyhow, when I think of it in another angle, maybe the 'perfectness' that is referred to is of different nature. Probably something intangible. The ability to think. Regardless of whatever primitive human was at the beginning, one thing that human never missed and have in common is the ability to do art. Art has been there probably since the dawn of humanity. The ability to do art and other displays of creativity shows that human mind evolve. The brain was perfectly designed to acquire, perceive, visualize, observe and create knowledge. Is human hands perfectly designed? No way. That is why we have two of them. If one is perfect, we should have just one hand. That is the perfectness of the design. Human just have enough to do everything they want.
Well, still I don't think that human is designed by some designer. There is nothing special about human. Human are part of a family or kingdom, in which animals are human's cousin but not brother. Human and any other living being, complex or single cell are all the same in some sense. In reproduction, in need, in security, etc. we are similar.
Human are Hitler in that kingdom. Killing their cousins. Cannibalizing their cousin. Taking advantage of their cousin. What is the meaning of 'perfect' if human are like that? Mother Earth, who was protected solely by human's cousin is constantly being destroyed by human. Not only that, even the protector are destined to be gone one day. Is that the 'perfectness' that some people boast about?
Truly one view is so easy to be blinded. Just tell 'em that he is or she is perfect and have dominion over everything on earth. Surely he or she will be so proud to have destroyed his or her own house. So much of being perfect.

Expectations in Relationships
Posted by Victoria Osteen on May 27th, 2010 - http://www.joelosteen.com
A couple of years ago, I was chatting with a young man who was sharing how the ministry had really helped him recover from a terrible divorce. He was saying that he just didn't understand what had gone wrong in his five-year marriage. "After all," he said, "we met through a very reputable matchmaking website. I guess I am living proof that those sites don't really work." He went on to tell how he had filled out the profile and that his computer-matched wife had every quality he desired in a woman. As I listened, I could just imagine him filling out the profile much like one might custom order a car. He wanted a blond woman who loved the outdoors and quiet walks on the beach. Perhaps he also ordered a woman who liked to keep a clean house, cook, and wanted exactly 3.5 children—two boys and one and a half girls! He even told me that he was able to request that she be of a certain Christian denomination. Apparently, their problems began during the second year of their marriage when he realized that she didn't really meet all of his standards. He still wasn't sure if she had lied on the profile, or changed after they had gotten married, or if the system itself was flawed. He actually said to me, "They never asked 'are you willing to be there when your husband needs you?'"
This young man is a prime example of how people enter relationships with set standards and expectations. When people do not meet the standards we set, we become disenchanted with the relationship, allowing disappointment and frustration to set in. It's easy to get along with people when everything is going great and others are acting exactly the way we want them to. But what happens when something goes wrong and our feelings get hurt? If you're not careful, you'll begin to focus on the unmet expectations which will affect your attitude, and ultimately, your relationship.
But it doesn't have to be that way if we will just learn to have realistic expectations and let people off the hook. We can avoid a lot of heartache by simply giving people room to be human. We have to accept the fact that nobody is perfect, and even the best people will fail us at times. We have to choose forgiveness because it is not up to anyone in our lives to keep us happy; that is our own responsibility. Too often, we want our mate to cheer us up when we are down; we expect our partner to always be loving and kind. We expect our boss to recognize our hard work and our friends to always be there for us. But those are unrealistic expectations. The perfect spouse does not exist, nor does the perfect boss, nor the perfect friend. We would avoid a lot of disappointments by simply understanding that no matter how much we love people, no matter how much they love us, at some point, they won't live up to our expectations, or they will hurt our feelings in some way. But when we get our eyes off their shortcomings and on to Jesus, we open the door for His grace and healing in our relationships. We open the door for love which is all that matters in eternity.

Infinity Downline 101 - ID Crash Course for Idiot
Hi Guys, I am so glad that you are here to read this short course on Infinity Downline, course ID101 - ID Crash Course for Idiot.
Let me begin this course with greeting - Good morning, good afternoon, good night, good day, whichever time you are here, just pick the appropriate greeting.
For those of you who are new to Infinity Downline, I feel sad for you because Infinity Downline or nicknamed ID has been around for quite sometime now, but nobody has been reported to have became super wealthy out of it though. It is a very simple Multi Level Marketing or MLM (...but 'they' does not admit it), and 'they' claim to be the cheapest 'MLM' around. The 'ID kind of 'MLM' is seems to be different from any other MLM (...well, no matter how you turn the pyramid around, it is still a pyramid isn't it...). The initial investment is truly small. Only USD25. But Malaysian prefer RM100. It was not known for what reason. About the change in currency, the only explanation that I can think of is 'Malaysia Boleh'.
So much for the introduction. Let me begin with the ID101 course now.
This business is very good. It is said to be the simplest one around. YOU, will happen to be 'recruited' by somebody above YOU. Otherwise the whole thing does not happen, so somebody somewhere got to persuade YOU to be in the ID 'system' (such 'they' call it). That 'somebody' will have to recruit THREE other, in which YOU and the third recruit have to pay RM100 or USD25 -hard earn money that suppose to buy you food for one week- to the somebody that drag you into the 'system'. Well, I feel sad for that somebody too though, because he or she need to half-crying persuade the other two into his or her line or downline (remember, need to get four person right) just to pay for the whoever that referred him or her (I mean that somebody). So, if YOU get four person, two will pay you, and another two will pay for the person that recruited you.
Well, if this explainantion is too difficult for you, let me give you an example.
Suppose an idiot recruited YOU to be his downline. YOU won't get paid. Instead, YOU NEED to pay the idiot RM100 or USD25. What will YOU get? YOU will get NOTHING, which qualify YOU to be an idiot and a whole pile of task to look for minimum of FOUR idiots which YOU will demand payment of RM100 or USD25 from. With hard labor, YOU manage to find four idiots which are willing to spare their hard-earn cash (..which suppose to be for groceries). Well, two of the idiots hand you money, RM100 or USD25 each. Well, the other two idiots will hand in their RM100 or USD25 to the idiot that recruited you. Well, isn't that nice... two idiots is handing in money to you for free, and not only that, the other two is giving money to the idiot above you as well.. I really can't find any explainable why the four idiots that YOU have so much trouble to find can't give all the money to you though. Weird, but just bear with me for now.
And the cycle continues... the four idiots under YOU will by-all-means persuade another four idiots each(... hmmm I wonder how is it feel to become an idiot...) to join the party. I calculated that by the time YOU's downline reaches the 10th, YOU will have an infinitely many idiots handing in money for free to YOU -without-any obvious-reason-
'They' claim to have a product though. 'They' also claimed that the products are 'educational' stuffs, acceptable worldwide. I am still confused, why so many idiots tries to get, sell, affiliate these products that the idiots can get from Bit Torrent for free. Then I realized, the idiots won't be an idiot if they know where to get it for free in the first place. So I give up thinking. Right now, I feel sorry for the idiots who lingers at the very bottom of YOU's downline... well, I calculated that, as long as there are infinitely many idiots around, there will always be idiots continuing the line. But I reckon, the very bottom will always be the idiot because they will give their hard-earn-money to their 'boss', and what do they get? AN E-BOOK! Good work idiots.
That is all for this class. I hope you can pass the test, which will be end of this millennium.
Let me begin this course with greeting - Good morning, good afternoon, good night, good day, whichever time you are here, just pick the appropriate greeting.
For those of you who are new to Infinity Downline, I feel sad for you because Infinity Downline or nicknamed ID has been around for quite sometime now, but nobody has been reported to have became super wealthy out of it though. It is a very simple Multi Level Marketing or MLM (...but 'they' does not admit it), and 'they' claim to be the cheapest 'MLM' around. The 'ID kind of 'MLM' is seems to be different from any other MLM (...well, no matter how you turn the pyramid around, it is still a pyramid isn't it...). The initial investment is truly small. Only USD25. But Malaysian prefer RM100. It was not known for what reason. About the change in currency, the only explanation that I can think of is 'Malaysia Boleh'.

Science and Religion
I thought that I was alone. Everyone that I know insisted that it is possible. But I stand on my point of view that it is impossible.
I questioned the religious institution's attempt to use science to proof their religious claims. So much so that they claimed that Science and Religion need each other, and Science fits perfectly in the world of religion. I doubt it.
I share the same viewpoint as Richard Dawkins, a prominent biologist and naturalist like Darwin.
I argue that one who embraced science can't possibly be embracing religion as much as he embrace science. Likewise, one who is religious can't possibly be embracing science as much as he embrace religion. Science, if anybody might missed the point, is a constant questioning and seeking of answers about the existence of everything under the sun and beyond. It is a constant search of knowledge, which is believed by them who understands the philosophy of science, are still a lot to find. And along the way, new technology was developed, and old technology and knowledge are enhanced, improved and some are totally dismissed. In other word, science makes something not there to be there, just like god. Now, how can one embrace religion if he is playing god all the time? Well, he can - just be a liar.
If one embrace religion, and science, he tends to see everything in science as an explanation to whats in religion. It seems that everything fits into the religion. Even though some do not fit, there is always a way to make them fit within. Simplest example - Visa and Mastercard is one of the sign of the so called 'End Time'. This is a pretty idiotic conjecture. Little do they know that when quest for answer is not preceded by question, the knowledge obtained are merely fantasy that makes the brain happy. It is a false positive that the brain perceived. Just like when people in love, love makes people blind - why? because the part of brain that is responsible for 'mood' is under drug influence. In the first place, how can science be in religion when science is about eliminating the concept of god?
Well, of course majority of people only read one book in their lifetime, and therefore closed other knowledge that might threatened their knowledge. I am embracing science, but I am not closing my door to the knowledge that religion can offer. I am not into spirituality, salvation, heaven and hell, sin and punishment crap. I am an agnostic. My religion is the world around me. If I manage to gather 1% of the knowledge that my world could offer, I will be happy enough to be anywhere, here, heaven or hell.
Now is more important than later. Tomorrow is more important than the day after. I want to live in now, and let tomorrow come as it wishes. Nothing is better than the knowledge of science now and today.

The Principle of Wrong
Always, 'wrong' is defined as something 'not true' or 'false' and not in between. Wrongly said statement is considered a lie. Rightly said statement is also a lie if the outcome flipped. This is wierd. Right statement should be right no matter how the outcome turns out.
Consider a teacher, holding a sweet. The teacher then asks the students to write what it it that she is holding. So some may write jibberish like 'zxsht', some may write 'shweit', some may write 'sweet', some may write 'sugar', some may write 'sucrose'. Obviously the 'zxsht' is wrong, so is 'shweit', so is 'sugar' and so is 'sucrose'. But is it really wrong? It seems unfair. We know that 'zxsht' is definitely wrong. But 'shweit' is at some degree, is correct compared to 'zxsht'. And 'sugar' more correct compared to the previous two. And the 'sucrose', definitely is a highly thought answer.
The argument suggests that the level of untrue is highly relative. Its relativity is measured by how much it differs from the 'correct' outcome or answer. For example, if a statement is true but the outcome turns out to be the opposite of the true answer of the true statement, then the statement is still true because relative to the correct answer, the statement is still true. Similar to the case of 'sweet' and 'sucrose'. For 'sucrose' is not a correct answer that the teacher is looking for, but the weight of the meaning of the answer 'sucrose' relative to the question is higher compared to the other answers except the true answer 'sugar'.
In summary, wrong shall not be taken as total wrong or total untrue. One have to know of how correct the wrong is relative to something. Correct wrong is a definite wrong if the relative point of measure is totally opposite in all characteristics and principle.

Am I asking the Worng Question?
Often the right solution come from the right question. Often but not always, the right question was asked followed by the right solution. But just like the old Gauss, I paused and began to ask, did I asked the right question?
Redefining the question, often but not always, simplifies the whole problem set particularly if the subject is totally beyond ordinary topics. I realized that my questions with regards to prime numbers is pointing towards Riemann's Zeta function, which had already put many mathematicians to madness. Nevertheless, I shall not forget about it. It is a question that stimulates my mind.
I had somebody asking me what the triangle be of use for (to human being or daily life). So I answered 'nothing'. Indeed it is useless. The knowledge I gain from this pursuit is probably useless beyond comprehension. But hey, what should I care. What is important is 'I like it'.

Significant Progress in The Analysis of Predictibility of Prime Patterns
My obsession on pattern of prime distribution continues. I conjectured to myself that pattern exists in the prime number distribution. If this conjecture is true then there will always be a method to confirm or dis-confirm it.I don't know if there is such theorem that describe the conjecture, if there is one then it is sure difficult to find it. This knowledge is dangerous indeed because if the conjecture is found true then the security of the algorithms which relies on the difficulties of computation of prime numbers is indeed compromised.
I continued my work on the magic triangle I have invented long ago, 7 years ago probably. Earlier on, I had found the basic properties of the triangle, and deducing several theorem that describes the properties and characteristics. Even so, I felt that the theorem was incomplete.
I continued working on triangle since several nights ago. Sudden urge. I end up writing down several more theorem and proving it as well. More ideas coming but some theorem needs more thoughts right now. Previously, I was working with integers. Integer numbers are easier to work with and the basic properties of the triangle was defined around integers. I proved that it works well with any integer series because any integer series is a well defined set of integer numbers, or in other word, it has structure or pattern (with regard to its distribution).
I started working on structure of integers which has no pattern, the prime number. It is difficult to predict what is the next prime number, unlike the normal integer series. Non-trivial solution shows that I can get the next prime number using the magic triangle. How it works is beyond the scope of this blog. I hypothesized that prime number is predictable exactly to the range small enough for computation to be performed to find the number. To prove this hypothesis, I need to prove that the prime number distribution has particular pattern and structure which enables it to be predictable. The triangle gives me a small insights on how to go about this proving. However, I encounter another problem. To prove that something has pattern, one has to know what is the pattern look like. In my case, I don't know. It was proven that prime numbers are infinite. But nobody has never shown how an infinite look like. Infinite is equally similar to void. I void has structure then infinite should have a structure too. If void has pattern and structure, then it has to be quantifiable or described mathematically and it is predictable. My idea is that if the n-th prime number is predictable then there is no prime numbers that is not predictable within certain set of distribution. If there is an infinite distribution then infinite can be described, therefore void is proven.
I probably end up in an asylum, just like the others. But I am not mad. I just think too much. I hope my lifetime is enough for me to make at least some small fraction of this ideas to be formally written down.

I Was Right.
End of last year through early 2010, and maybe until now, my home-village is in deep s**t. No rain and everything was turning brown. The heat was immense that I took bath like every three hours. It was not a pleasant days to laze around.
I was thinking to my self that something is not right with the weather system. It was alright last year. At least there was rain last year December. This year was, not a drop of rain since I touchdown on the 1st of December. I know from past history that the only event which can result in this kind of situation is if there is volcano eruption, and also if the sun is in its 11-year sunspot. I know that the 11-year cycle is coming up, about 2011~2012 and we should expect unpredictable weather, especially drought at the equator region. But the 11-year cycle does not explain the unpredictable weather in cold region. We have snow in Lancaster this year, in December!!! How weird is that. I don't think the sunspot gonna make that, which lead to my conclusion that volcano will be erupting soon.
I can't remember who I was talking to, but I told him that only volcano can cause such silly weather and some volcano will erupt somehow, somewhere, soon. Then I've forgotten all about it, until dinner just now, I was talking to my friend. I suddenly remembered what I have predicted earlier this year. The volcano was not truly catastrophically erupted yet, it erupted and spewed lots of bad stuffs up the sky, but scientist fears its neighbor will be the one that is erupting.
I am not really is a vulcanologist, but I have read the events that comes after Krakatoa erupted long ago. I hope rain will come soon. The sooner the better. Let the rain bring all the bad particles down to earth and let the earth regulates her weather system to its pleasant state. Otherwise, we will be having drought for several seasons. Hope for the faithful monsoon to come on time.
If somebody ever said that the drought is due to human sin, or some punishment from god, he is nut!

The Businessman Paradox
..If all Consumer becomes Service Provider, to whom the Service Provider will provide service to?...
..If the Consumer is also the Service Provider, then the Service Provider must also be the Consumer..which one comes first?
-::The Thinker - On Philosophy of Trade ::-
What Should I Do?
I am in deep dilemma. I am at the crossroad.
I have learned that brain activity can be reduced by forcing the Pituitary gland to signal the thyroid to produce more hormone. It can be done by eating less food or skipping meal, and doing less exercise. The body's metabolic rate is severely reduced.In normal condition, the thyroid supplies just right hormone to the brain. An increase in that hormone will cause the brain to under-work. This is what I want. At normal circumstances, my brain work excessively hard, working on something not important and important things. It gives me hard time to concentrate on one thing. I guess that reducing the brain activity to some extent will give me some way to focus on just one important work.
However, I am getting the side effect of this. I had excessive hair loss. My appetite reduced considerably, I am stressed frequently, unexpected mood swing, unordered sleep, unable to focus on work for long period, etc., The good thing is that my brain is not so active. I even find it hard to write something in my own blog.
I think I should go back to my normal life. Thinking is a curse to me. If I am designed that way, so be it.

The Story of our Lives
http://sanglife.blogspot.com/2010/04/story-of-our-lives.html
Of the 7 years in his life, he couldn't remember the ones which weren't dreadful. But then again, who looks back at life when he has only 7 years to his credit?
The boy stood at the train station waiting for the next ride. The thrill of a fast train made his fears & pain go away. The wind kissed his face, as his mother once did. The wind wiped away his tears, as his mother once did. He could fly like a bird, that his pet once was. The sound of the train was a music to his ears. He could dance.
The train pulls into the station. He climbs in and takes off his shirt. He cleans the floor of the compartment with his shirt. That's what he does for a living. And then he puts forth his hand, waiting for the passengers to think his work was worthwhile. Or in reality, take pity on him and give him some money.
He goes to the girl in red standing at the door, lost in her thoughts. He puts his hand forth and calls her "Didi". He looks at her eyes, a mix of emotions and skepticism, begs her for some money. She says "No". He moves on to the others.
He gets about 3 rupees and there is no more coming. He retires. Suddenly, he feels 2 taps on his shoulders. It was the girl in red. She hands him 5 bucks. He accepts it. At the next stop, he gets down and repeats the same job there.
-------
The girl had a fun time tonight with her friends. She couldn't remember the last time they laughed this hard and went about the streets so happily. When they parted ways at the train station, she ran for the train, just about the depart. She took a seat, kept up the spirit by talking to her friends and then falling asleep. She woke up 2 stations before her stop and decided to catch some wind.
The train rides soothe her soul. The wind kisses her face, as she longs her mother to do. The wind wipes away her tears, as she longs her mother to do. She felt like bird, that she once believed she was going to be. The sound of the train is music to her ears. She could dance.
A little boy filled with dirt gets into the train, takes off his shirt and starts cleaning the floor. Her heart breaks because he's supposed to be getting an education and not earning. "It's just unfair that we are not born with the knowledge of what we truly deserve but have to learn it along the way, till it's a belief" - she thinks. She considers whether to pay him or not. What's his life like after he finishes up here. Does he go home to a drunken father or a failed one? Worse, does he go home to his master who takes away all his earning and feeds him? No, she will not pay. She doesn't have the food to give him.
He calls her "Didi" and she looks into his eyes. They are desperate as they are taught to be, else they really will be. "No" comes out of her mouth, of habit. She turns away and thinks "At least someone feeds him, if not you." and then "Have faith. May be he doesn't get abused but has no other way to live" She digs her purse for some money and draws out 5 bucks.
She taps his frail shoulders and hands him the money. He gets off at the next stop and she forgets all about him. She thinks about someone she loves and smiles at a few memories. Her stop arrives and she gets off.
"Didi" - a little voice calls out and it's happy. She turns back and finds the boy. He was eating a biscuit, holding his shirt in his arms, smiling and waving at her. She smiles a wide one that comes from knowing that the faith paid off.
Of the 7 years in his life, he couldn't remember the ones which weren't dreadful. But then again, who looks back at life when he has only 7 years to his credit?

When they parted ways at the train station, she ran for the train, just about the depart. She took a seat, kept up the spirit by talking to her friends and then falling asleep. She woke up 2 stations before her stop and decided to catch some wind.
The train rides soothe her soul. The wind kisses her face, as she longs her mother to do. The wind wipes away her tears, as she longs her mother to do. She felt like bird, that she once believed she was going to be. The sound of the train is music to her ears. She could dance.
A little boy filled with dirt gets into the train, takes off his shirt and starts cleaning the floor. Her heart breaks because he's supposed to be getting an education and not earning. "It's just unfair that we are not born with the knowledge of what we truly deserve but have to learn it along the way, till it's a belief" - she thinks. She considers whether to pay him or not. What's his life like after he finishes up here. Does he go home to a drunken father or a failed one? Worse, does he go home to his master who takes away all his earning and feeds him? No, she will not pay. She doesn't have the food to give him.
He calls her "Didi" and she looks into his eyes. They are desperate as they are taught to be, else they really will be. "No" comes out of her mouth, of habit. She turns away and thinks "At least someone feeds him, if not you." and then "Have faith. May be he doesn't get abused but has no other way to live" She digs her purse for some money and draws out 5 bucks.
She taps his frail shoulders and hands him the money. He gets off at the next stop and she forgets all about him. She thinks about someone she loves and smiles at a few memories. Her stop arrives and she gets off.
"Didi" - a little voice calls out and it's happy. She turns back and finds the boy. He was eating a biscuit, holding his shirt in his arms, smiling and waving at her. She smiles a wide one that comes from knowing that the faith paid off.

About Faith
I am trying to understand the concept of faith. Say it be in religious point of view or in daily life point of view.
I probably bias towards the interpretation of faith through mathematical analysis, since i can only argues within that domain.
Consider my paradox, I shall call it The LB Paradox of Faith:
Suppose that there are 1 billion people living in this good planet of Earth. 50% of the population are religious, who believes that the world is going to end up in smoke. And the other 50% does not believe at all in any of the crap that the religious 50% is saying.
Being bothered too much by the religious 50%, the other 50% decided to create a new population in planet Mars. So the 50% non religious population hop into their space shuttle and fly over to mars in one go. However, one religious human decided to follow the shuttle for he fears that his life will end if he stays on earth.
Now, without that one idiot living in planet Mars, the population that shifted over to Mars is theoretically living without fear because their world will never end. But, suppose that that idiot starts to tell people that the world will end (according to his religion) in smoke, Mars will end up in smoke too, just like earth. How absurd that is! If the non believer move to another planet again and one idiot decided to follow, the whole thing repeats and all back to square one.
But Mars is Mars and Earth is Earth, how can there be two world that will end up in smoke. No matter where we are, as long as the belief is carried along, it wont make any difference.
Religion works on the basis of Faith. Every inch requires faith. Remove faith, and there will be no religion. The simplest question one may ask may be is if hell truly exists. Difficult to prove, one need not asks for proof. Just have faith that that place is there is sufficient.
Well, that sounds like assumption to me. We 'want' to believe that hell exists. If we don't 'want' to believe, surely we can forget about having faith in it. 'Want' to believe is equivalent to we are truly not sure if it is there or not, and we don't care if it exist or not because we 'want' it to exist and make us happy. Believe it or not, every time we have faith in there is hell, we are actually telling ourself that we actually does not know and don't care if it exist or not. That is why we have faith.
If we know truly that hell exists, why need faith. If hell is there, it will be there. Just like a car. If we have a car, why have faith that we have a car. If we have a car, we indeed have a car.
Between faith and doctor, only idiot give it to faith when comes to sickness. Between, getting rich and poor, only idiot give in to fate. Between becoming educated and not, only idiot give in to faith.
For me, I decide my destiny.

My Beloved Friend, MONEY
Well, undoubtedly money is the best and most remarkable human invention compared to any other cool inventions. No doubt about that. No money, everything will collapse and become ruin, metaphorically speaking.
I believe that money is everything. In and out of human life, is money, nothing but money. Amount of money is proportional to the amount of happiness we'll get. More money, happier we are. If we have loads of money, we can buy anything. Anything that we can think of. Anything that we can imagine. Big and small, easy or complicated, tangible or intangible, important or not important. Nothing really matters really if we have loads of money. Anything under the sun is just how much money, if we have loads of money.
Imagine if money was not invented. Human will exchange stuffs. My nephew, Buson, will have difficulties going to college because he need to bring half chicken to trade for a pack of pencils, a herd of buffalo to trade for airplane ticket, a boxful of banana for a rim of A4 paper and so on. That will be a disaster. So money was invented to ease the management of human's livelihood. It is merely for the physical world. You wouldn't want to carry goats around to exchange for a nice dinner when you do for a date would you.
But when I mention 'money can buy ANYTHING', mind of some people starts to roam freely, way far beyond the physical world and into the spirit world. And then they find something called the salvation of the soul, and they thought..hmmm salvation is very expensive, money can't buy the... and soon they realize, automatically their mind said 'money can't but EVERYTHING'. That is kind of odd. Money and salvation, soul, spirit... That is totally not what money is designed for int he first place. Its the human's handicapped mind that pulled the thought that corrupt the purpose of money in the first place. Human with proper mind and sane mine will never equate money with the intangible realm, especially the realm of the spirit and the unknown. Money was invented so that we don't have to carry goat around for am meal. How would this got to do with salvation of the spirit? I don't understand.
We, sane mind, should not equate money with our salvation. We should not say 'money can't buy my salvation' because by saying such thing, we have already put value to the salvation. Money indeed can buy anything under the sun as long as that anything have value associated with it. Is money root of all evil? Nope. Money is pure, money didn't do any sin. It is Human that created the evil using money as the tool. Therefore money is bad? No way. Human is bad. Perhaps we should have stick to the 'exchange' method instead of money. Probably in that case, no money no root of all evil.
As long as we are in this world, find money, create money and spend money. The more money you have, the better your in the society, most importantly, education of your children are definitely assured.

Eskimo Wolf Hunter
Here is how an Eskimo hunts Wolf for their nice furry skin. An Eskimo hunter hunts a a rabbit, a seal, or anything easy to catch red blooded animal. The hunter have a two-edged sword which he will use to slaughter the animal. He will dip the blade into the animal blood, creating a very thin coat of blood, and then letting the blood to freeze. He dip the blade again, creating another coat of thin layer blood. He probably do that several time.
The Eskimo will then put the blade strongly anchored to the ground with the blade pointing straight up. Pack of wolf, attracted to the smell of blood will come to the blade, starts licking the blood. Because the blood is frozen, eventually the wolf's tongue become frozen numb. The wolf kept on licking until the blood coating on the blade all licked by the wolf and for every lick, the blade start to cut through the wolf's tongue, and starts bleeding. Because the tongue is numbed, the wolf does not feel a thing. When the tongue starts to bleed, the wolf starts to feel warm blood, and gets more excited, and lick the blade faster. The more it licks, the more cut and more blood. Eventually the wolf stops when it feel the pain.
The wolf will then die bleeding.
Because of Passion and Lust, man and woman will eventually will end up like the wolf.

The Paradox
One stormy night in 1945, out of nowhere, a guy came out of the darkness carrying a baby to an orphanage door. The nun saw that fine little girl and decided to keep her and called her Jane. Jane grew up wondering who was her father, mother, sisters, brothers. One day, when Jane was 19 years old, she fell in love with a handsome young man. It is a love at first sight. However, things does not really goes well between them, they quarrel every night, and the boyfriend stormed into the night, leaving Jane alone and pregnant. One night, Jane was rushed to the hospital to deliver a fine little baby girl. That night, somebody broke the window and snatched the baby away. The doctor found out that Jane was bleeding abnormally and did an operation on her and turned her into Jim. Jane woke up next morning just to find that she is no more Jane. She said to herself, I was left in an orphanage as a baby, grew up as Jane, had a baby who was kidnapped from the hospital and now I am not even Jane anymore, I am Jim... He gets into fist fight every time somebody asked him who is he, where is he from, who was his parents.. One day Jim was so drunk and slept in the bar. The bartender came up to Jim and said 'Jim, wake up.. I am not really a bar tender, I am a time traveler, come into my machine and we will find out who is your mother, father, brother, sisters..'. Jim went way back in time, and found a young 19 years old girl and it was love at first sight. However, things didn't went well between, they quarrel every night, and Jim stormed into the night, leaving his girlfriend. Then Jim get to know that his girlfriend was pregnant, wanted to give the baby the best education possible, he went to the hospital, break the window and snatch the baby away. He went into the time machine and he go back..back..way back in time, and the year was 1945, it was a stormy night, Jim went to an orphanage and put his baby on the orphanage doorstep. The nun saw that fine little baby and called her Jane. Jane grew up wondering who was her mother, father, sister, brother....
Who is Jane's Father and mother?
Who is Jane's Father and mother?
Misinterpretion
I was ROFL when I saw somebody commented on facebook that CHRISTIAN is a religion. Little we know that the moslems also saying that islam is a religion. But little we know that the original intention of the usage of the word is totally different. Christians and moslems thought that jews is a religion too! Worst, they thought Judaism is also religion and theology. I think even the jews themselves will not admit that because judaism is their way of life. Just the moslems claims that islam is a way of life. And originally, the word christian is referring to people whose life follows christ (in a way, it is a way of life too). At least the jews preserved their original state of definition, moslems and particularly christians totally deluded. Little they know that christian are made a religion by the romans conqurers. enhanced the religion with flashy building and elaborate ceremony. and now, if anybody asked where christianity comes from, they will say from GOD. I am gonna ROFL again.
Is it important to know the origin of christianity? Oo yes. Imagine a car, made to ease travelling, used by an idiot as a roof of a house. Look techie, but darn idiot.

Wrong Axiom?
Consider this:
Given that
1+x > 2-y ...........(1)
where {x,y} is between {0..1},
intuitively the statement can be rewritten in equality as
1+x+z = 2-y ...........(2)
where z is some constant satisfying 0 < z < 1. Now, rearranging (2) we have
Given that
1+x > 2-y ...........(1)
where {x,y} is between {0..1},
intuitively the statement can be rewritten in equality as
1+x+z = 2-y ...........(2)
where z is some constant satisfying 0 < z < 1. Now, rearranging (2) we have
x+y+z = 2-1
x+y+z = 1 ...............(3)
Since z is a constant, the only variables are x and y.
1. Now, pick an arbitrary x and y satisfying condition (1) and assume z constant, and apply the same x and y to (3). Statements (1) and (3) does not agree.
2. Now, pick an arbitrary x and y satisfying condition (3) and assume z constant, and apply the same x and y to (1). Statement (3) and (1) does not agree as well.
Conclusion:
The axiom 'K > M can be written as (K+x)=M' fails for {K,M} between {0..1}

Why Philosophy is Difficult for some people
The reasons are:
1. They don't think
2. They don't think that + reason (1)
3. They don't think that + reason (2)
Front view is incomplete until we see the rear view, and the sides. Some choose just the front view because it always beautiful.

Philosophy of the DOER
Can it be that there can be no instructor for the doer to do what need to be done? Is it possible that the doer himself is the instructor? And is it possible for something completed to be completed by the doer without any instruction to do it? Suppose that an instructor is required by the doer; If an instructor is also the doer, it is impossible for the doer to to without instruction, and if the doer is not willing, the instructor contradict himself for being the doer at the same time.

Debate about FAITH
I had a debate with several people about FAITH. Interestingly, the outcomes are totally different. I was not looking for victory not an acknowledgment of defeat of the other side. It was merely some random debate, trying to understand what they understand.
First with my dad ( and mum). Apparently, FAITH is not understood by them whatsoever. And then with my elder sister who had some theology knowledge. She had some understanding, but seems like it is more like an 'empty' understanding.
I told them this argument: If you believe, why need faith to believe? Isn't it a confirm believe when it is truly believed? for believing with faith mean it is an unsure believe. If I believe that there is God, I will say 'I believe that there is GOD'. It is a confirmed and assured believe. However if I say 'By faith, I believe that there is God'. Well, isn't it an unsure believe?
Believe it or not, believing 'by faith' is a trademark. No matter how I argue that believing 'by faith' is not true, people will always disagree. Which mean they support the 50% assurance intead of the totally 100%. I believe in God, and I don't need faith to believe because I know there is God. It is a 100% assured that there is God. If I decided to believe in God 'by faith', I lied to my self, assuring myself that 'there maybe no God at all, but its okay, I will tell myself that there is God even though myself says maybe there is, maybe there is not'.
You need a paradigm shift to understand this argument.
