i agree with dr on at least one count which is perception is reality. 'truth' is what's perceived, and our means of sensing is limited as it is (landscapes to bats are like what, barely audible echoes to us). people assume alot (which i attitribute to our habit of perceiving things as truth), and i'm assuming tt dr is being encouraging and not painting a 'perfect picture of happiness' of e world, but a relative one (i find tt fertilisation example abit overused tho lol), so..yeah we shouldnt take blessings for granted. But then only a fine line separates sanguine from delusional. I held the belief tt u'll find a way 'when there's a will right?' but what if another person has an opposing will? The 'way' is not definite. of cuz happiness is a choice and if u're shuang shuang regardless of pple's take on you, then u're cool. (strangely tho, i've never respected that ah Q dude)
as for the child in everyone, i think it never really goes away =) people can never be wise enough
just something i don't understand tho, what's tt appeal of 'innocence' when it's being 'unknowing of evil'? i feel 'childhood innocence' belongs on e same platform as 'dumb blonde' and 'filthy rich' - the underlying description aint appropriate.
anyways i think bug's reminder's worth repeating
"honour the spirit of Christmas...spread love and remember the pple less fortunate in this season of giving..."
