A bit on Life:

"Yup, it's partly human connection. I like the trust involved, and to me, it is also a learning process. Learning how to stand in the shoes of others, relate to their experiences, and learning how to analyze the situations, and offer advice. 

People don't do these things today because they don't know how to. Advancement in this world has caused us to rely too much on technology, which results in the lost of the human touch. As you may have already felt this: People today are generally very narrow-minded. They see things from their own perspective. They don't see the fundamentals of life today. They can't stand in the shoes of others and relate to their experiences. This is because they don't think enough, don't think about many things in life and how they do things. Jack Reacher said this in one of the books: Look, don't see; Listen, don't hear (Quite true. Many people see and hear, but don't really know how to look and listen). This is about communication, and see that it is lacking in many relationships and families. And of course, you see problems arising.

...

You see many people being blinded by materialistic pursuits. They are not wrong, it's just that they are not seeing things in the right perspectives. They don't see the fundamentals of happiness and life. They let their pursuits control their lives. If you can control your pursuits (materialistic or not), you will be happy (whether you succeed or fail). They push all their incompetencies (in their mindsets) to the faults of people around them (that these people fail to do this and that). They are not grateful for what they had in the past, not contented with what they have now, and not thinking what they can do for themselves. The clearest signs of these are all the national debates about foreigners, housing, and transport issues. It is not that existing plans are so perfect that no debates are needed. It's just that these things are not being looked at in the right way. (I'm not sure if you are want to discuss politics, so I try not to touch on too much here)."


This is why i like communicating with others over the net.
So much insight; so much food for thought.
I suppose i'm a glutton in nearly every aspect of life. For knowledge, for love, for actual food...haha!
