Eyes of The World

I believe that in most education systems, we are taught about people have played a large character in both to our own country and the history of human beings. Plato, Socrates, Isaac Newton, Thomas Edison, Karl Marx, Adam Smith, Albert Einstein, but are a few of the many names that we have come to know. Although many of them have left for a very long time, their contributions to the human society are praised even today and the years to come. Just recently, two major death messages have spread across the globe: The American actor, the actor of the main protagonist of a famous movie series, Fast & Furious, Paul Walker. The South African anti-apartheid revolutionary, politician and philanthropist, who served as the President of South Africa from 1994 to 1999, Nelson Mandela.

Here's what I've noticed. On Facebook itself, at least in my own circle, all I see are statuses and pictures about Walker. I see people mourning upon the lost of Walker as the main protagonist of Fast & Furious, and that they are not able to see his play anymore. But what really gets to me is that there are little to none of those who mentioned, even at the slightest, the name of the man who put an end to apartheid. I do not say that Mandela's death weighs more than Walker, but it has been nearly a week (2 for Walker) and still, only Walker's name appeared in my feeds.

Theories

Since the times of Archimedes, the Theory of Everything (ToE) had been pursued by physicians. It's been a few millennia and yet it is still an unknown. More and more theories are thrown out by the physicians, relating to the ToE, and the explanations are all very intriguing (to my logical mind that is). I may not be a physician, nor am I any kind of person in Science but I have a weight on me that this theory cannot be found. The ToE is the ultimate and final theory to all happenings in the Universe, while this Universe is so gigantic and no one can ever claim to have seen all of it. Even when we've finally thought that we've found our theory, sooner or later, it will be toppled down again to another mere theory of a number of things.

Take that I'm blabbering at the first part of the post. It's been a while since I wrote on the blog but a lot has changed and happened since the last blog post. Blog makeover aside, most of these changes and happenings are upon myself. And just as a note, this post is inspired by a certain anime that I've actually watched twice (might watch it for a third time). One of its episodes was entitled "Theory of Everything", which was an ending to a certain character's arc in the anime (Okay "otaku"s, you might already know which anime it is, or you'll know sooner or later).

The place where wishes come true

Things are running up ahead, like a vehicle that has no brakes. Yet, I feel as if I hadn't moved at all... What is this weird feeling surging inside of me? I see my friends gone, going to different places, living separate lives. I see them flowing along with time, gracefully. I see them in pain at times, yet I see them grow. I'm glad that they did. But, when I look at myself in the mirror, I asked, "How much have you changed?" I wonder that.

Write

Writing... Scribbling all over the page... Drying all the ink... Breaking the nibs... Yet and still, all emotions of one's heart and mind cannot be fully illustrated...

Anxiety and confusion cannot be described in black and white
Only thy heart may know
But thou shall not know of mine
And so I can only write
How much would thou shall know and understand I cannot measure
But I can be certain
That thou will not understand
My fears, worries and confusions
