i'm taking a break from compiling and editting the slides for my group presentation this friday:) haha.
i dun like discrimination. i dun like racism. i dun like sexism. especially sexism. i dun like age-ism too. the idea that just because you're younger, you know less.
lol.
the holocaust is really scary :S
very saddening too. watched this video whereby it shows the release of the jews from the concentration camps... then the last part showed a machine just shovelling piles of human bodies down into the soil. damn sad.
it's as though humans are not worthwhile at all. no worth to human life.
the issue of the fragility of human life comes back to haunt us again and again.
during forensic science lecture, our lecturer showed us slides after slides of crimes, of testing of stains, and of human bodies. fragments, if i may say, of human bodies. lots and lots of them. especially what was shown in the tsunami photo. or bombings... whereby only the head, the body (without the limbs) and part of the hip is left.
the thing about us human beings is that we always choose to think that death is far away. it's not. i'm not being morbid or pessimistic here..but seriously, the question to ask (that i've been asked a few years ago), is the question of 'would you ever know today, that you are going to die tomorrow?'
and in dying. where do you go?
