Thoughts - Deep, Down, Inside…

It is only recently that I realised alot of things, things that i have never thought of it before. Perhaps we humans who are constantly stuck in the silent but ever present war of survival-of-the-fittest that we are too busy to realise it.

There are all sorts of people that I have met during this whole year serving the nation as a worker who gets paid for a job which people wished that its duties would never have to be carried out. There are some who are very quiet, and some who are really eloquent. Some who are very simple-minded, and some who are always deep in thought. Of course, like in many organisations, some who puts up a show to superiors, and some who are the unsung heroes.

It is during the time spent talking with those who are constantly in deep thoughts that made me wonder about the reasons for humans to do certain things in this world.

Have anyone wondered why parents would always teach their children the values of right and wrong when they are a child, but yet teach them to take shortcuts, cut corners and get around things when they only got older? Why bother to teach them the right then?

This makes me wonder then, what is really right and what is really wrong? People often said that it is the wrong that makes the right, and evil for justice to exist. But who judges what is right and what is wrong? ‘One’s terrorist is another’s freedom fighter’. This is solely based on perspective.

Perspective. Is there really truth in the world then? All the truth we know are based on what we can see, smell, taste, touch and hear. But what truth is there when we cannot see as sharp as an eagle, cannot smell as far as a dog, and cannot hear a wider frequency range of sound as a wolf? So what gives us the right to kill a person true something called capital punishment? Just by gathering in a nice air-con room, debating in what we called languages which animals consider it as rubbish, just like how we treat animals’ grunts and howls as noises, and basing on manufactured truth like law?

Murder, robbery and fraud have always been condemned. But has anyone questioned why? Is it just because it is labelled as wrong? Or is it because they cause sufferings to another? Why is it considered wrong when truth is manufactured then? Would it still be wrong to murder a murderer, and rob a rich person to alleviate the sufferings of the born-poors? What is the difference between a soldier shooting another enemy soldier from a militant shooting an enemy politician? Why only legalise killings in war whe latter are considered enemy to the former in both situations?

If people believes only in the ultimate truth that everyone agreed to be facts as they could be authenticated by the five inferior senses relative to other organisms on earth, why do humans also believe in religion, something that deals with the extra-terrestrial and cannot be authenticated by the five senses?

All these while, we humans have been to busy to keep up with the routine that we have set ourselves to follow by. To get up. To go to work. To come home. To spent time for the family. To spent time for recreation. To earn money. But have anyone realised that we have been kept busy with concepts we have created ourselves. We could not be bothered to seek the answer to the ask 3 basic questions of ‘who am I? where do I come from? where am I going to?’, but keep producing manufactured knowledge (the adjective ‘manufactured’ is redundant when talking about ‘knowledge’, just like describing a ‘robot’ as ‘artificial) to temporarily satisfy our curious minds just to free it up to get back to work on the manufactured concepts and routine of life.

Perspective is the key. It all comes to emptiness to argue.

This entry is all based on simple logic which manufacture truth relies on. If you agree with it, you are not getting me.
