This is AYUN
Her organiser's over here.
And her art over here.
This blog is not about GORE. It is about the finer points of life and how much we can live it by enjoying it to the fullest...
NOT!
This is GOHR-blog. Nothing will make sense here now...I think.
There's many things I'd like to talk about.
I took the following lines from Yumi's blog; who had taken them from this psycho book she found in the school library. I read the lines and wanted to keep note of them; but Yumi actually took the trouble to write it all down in her notebook.
The trouble is that we over-estimate the importance of words and let them dominate us so that we lose grip on reality. Worse still, most of us human beings think we are masters of words; the truth is they master us, we are enslaved by words.
So true. Those lines are also an example of the power of words. Hahas. But its basically all self-reflection really.
Like what Yumi said; see reality as it is and not the verbal illusion most people mistake for reality. Human beings are in a state of conflict. The human brain has been conditioned by 50,000 years of thinking that conflict is mankind's natural state. Health is affected because these conflicts cause psychosomatic illness and dissatisfactions. And they affect energy which hampers anyone who is in a state of conflict, but if the being can see things without conditioning it leads to great energy and enthusiasm. Why do human beings who have such intelligence have this problem? The reason is that the brain is taken up in that problem. If there were only problems and a brain that has no problems then it would be easy. So why can't we live without problems?
Because the brain accepts problems as part of existance.
It is itself the main problem. Politicians have many problems and trying to solve them with brains that are muddled with problems causes even greater problems. Yes, that is a problem isn't it. I always thought that having problems and going through them is a part of life. But it sounds like problems is more of a choice and can be avoided with your way of thinking.
Hmm; maybe I should try that. That way I could be less sickly and not so gan chiong over every little thing that happens in my life. Maybe I can try to accept things as it is; and just go with the flow.
But in a sense everything written up there is arguable; and I probably have wasted five minutes of your time just because you felt like reading. Still really; if you think about it; maybe it is better to have a less problomatic life. We just have to adjust our way of thinking.
Dammit this is madness. I feel like I'm being brainwashed. Gah.
I came back from camp this afternoon. It was great; it was inspirational; and I had experienced so many feelings within such a short amount of time it left me exhausted and sleepy and I actually went to sleep the moment i reached home. Yes, smelly clothes and all. Like eew.
Camp was fun; as it should be, like on the first day we had some ice breaker games where I learnt everyone in my group's names and courses. We also realised that everyone was so different from each other we clicked easily. I had lots of laughter and smiles all around cos design is one big happy family. =D
Then at night I started worrying abt stuffs and wondering if I might get sick the next day because a bit of a migrane was on. Yumi had it worse; she had to pop in about 5 panadols until her legs turned into jell-o. Yumi me and Cherine then decided to talk about random silliness because we couldn't sleep.
And yes I got sick the next day. Nothing much, not that bad, not good either. But I coped, and got through the morning and afternoon with a very upset stomach. The butter prata we had for dinner helped me a bit though. I feel a lot better after that. Also because fizzie smsed me sayin tt he'll be meetin me the next day. weeeeeee fizzie~
We watched Akeelah and the Bee as well. Super inspirational; even though Chering kept telling us spoilers for about half the movie it was good. Rino and me had to keep covering her mouth every few seconds though.
"....Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure..."
One line that really made me think. I can go far in my life. I know I can go far in my life. I just have to try.
And one last thing:
Something Yumi showed me. Its a real beautiful song..
