Ethereal

This quote was so ethereal I had to post it. With all the crap feelings I've been feelings, this, was so beautiful. It's a little like how we can't fully comprehend our feelings, and how we get lost in all the emotions, that we lose all comprehension of them, and start questioning our mental validities in understanding these feelings? 

Reading this quote, I felt like I was staring out at space. I see now why we see so much beauty in space. 

"Life contains the capacity, like flames that reach toward heaven, to transform suffering and pain into the energy needed for value-creation, into light that illuminates darkness. Like the wind traversing vast spaces unhindered, life has the power to uproot and overturn all obstacles and difficulties. Like clear flowing water, it can wash away all stains and impurities. And finally, life, like the great earth that sustains vegetation, impartially protects all people with its compassionate, nurturing force."

Vicious Wednesday

In light of the Paris attacks many have come out to show their solidarity and to share their thoughts and prayers to the victims.

AND THEN there is people who are sending death threats and actual attempts in killing muslims post Paris attacks. Not that these never really existed before Paris, but this amount increased. A mosque was burned down in Canada, and a couples house severed some gun shots while they were out feeding the homeless.

Thank goodness they were actually out doing good instead of being at home.

And in a video by AJ+ (Al Jazeera+), we witness a man calling up a mosque and threatening to shoot every single person in the mosque and adds that he doesn't care "if they're 2 or 100".

Seriously?


It's a bloody vicious cycle when you keep doing shit like this.
Why won't you use all this goddamn energy to do good? Like, I don't know feed the homeless, fight for better education, donate to technology advancement in health, start a new sport, SOMETHING USEFUL AND PRODUCTIVE INSTEAD OF ALL THIS GOD FORSAKEN HATE.

A couple months ago my childhood friend visited me, and he was staying Seoul Station, pretty much the one-stop-shop for the airport, out of state train travels, and buses. And if you didn't know, Seoul Station is actually known to be the place where A LOT of homeless stay and get food from NGOs and all.

What was interesting was that my friend, as he was walking by, saw the homeless people, and then saw that there was a big (I shan't name the religion so I shall say) religious event going on, like an appreciation offering kind of event. According to my friend, it wasn't too small, and had a stage, speakers, and all. But all they were doing were just gathering and praising.

Then my friend asked: why would they spend all that money for this, and not use it to help the homeless? They're really obvious cuz they're just walking around this event. And this struck me. Yeah, why? Don't get me wrong, I'm not condemning anyone here, but why do people have to spend money unnecessarily instead of using it to do more good?

And so it goes back to the Islamophobic video which you can check out for yourself here.

WHY? 

Why won't you use all that hate, all that energy to get off your high horse and help those in need instead of spreading all this hate towards people who were not even involved? What is wrong with you?

Earth Day! (:

Happy Earth Day everyone!
While it is about the environment, it is also about giving back. So for those interested, we're feeding the homeless tonight and it os Easter themed!
Where: Central Market Parking Lot
When: 9PM
What: Bring a backpack, wear a white top or anything close to it (tees are best), and tell yer friends!
But in my humble opinion, everyday should be Earth Day and we should always find ways to give back, whether its to the homeless or to Mother Nature. Everyday should be a day to take care of people/things that aren't just ourselves.
