人说好奇心能杀死一只猫，我却说误会能杀死一只蜜蜂。
话说一晚我躺在床上赶着功课，殊不知哪里闯进一只蜜蜂，好死不死的就停在我的床上。一个不留神，大腿就这样辗过了那只蜜蜂，而它也奋起发动了临死前最后的攻击，往我的大腿部位蜇了一下，然后就这样结束了自己的生命。
到现在我还是不明白，为什么它们会选择了如此自杀式的攻击？明知道这样做会丢了自个儿的性命，还是这么的不顾一切？这天然的自卫系统就这么根深蒂固的刻在它们的骨子里吗？就算再想八百年，我也不会理解它们的想法。或许对它们来说，这就是它们的宿命，永远也改变不了。
只不过是为了一个小小的误会，就像当初的卡利达组织袭击了美国的贸易中心和五角大楼，一夕间造成了多少人天人永隔。为了死了以后什么也不是的尊严弄丢了自己的性命，惹恼了大家引起公愤，甚至还引发了世界性的倒戈，到头来还要被世人唾弃。难道他们就真的这么士可杀不可辱吗？误会就这么可怕，为什么都不能退一步海阔天空呢？
这又让我想起了江山美人里的阿虎哥，只觉得他是个愚蠢的可怜虫，守护了多年的可人儿移情别恋，全都因为使命使然不能坦白，还要不吭声的成全他俩。最后爱人跑了，造成国家叛变，还落得为自己的国家所不容，得孤军奋战、单枪匹马地面对数千大军。如果他从一开始就将一切的误会解释清楚，故事的结局是否就会从此改写呢？
英雄是否被人们定义为可悲的、白痴的？明知不可为而为之？因为他的悲惨遭遇，而造就了英雄特性。或许人们说起英雄都会竖起大拇指赞声好，但他们自己就如哑子吃黄连，在华丽的英雄光环下，受了多少苦，需要牺牲多少，更连累了周遭的人。对于他们的想法，我永远不敢苟同，可能我天生不够格当英雄吧，因为至少我不能忍受自己和身边的人受委屈。
好久好久没有被动物弄伤的时候了。不知道是不是心理作用，从一开始的疼痛难受，到现在那伤口还是酸酸的。也没有药可以用，只能等它自然的愈合。真的好想教会那只蜜蜂一句话，留得青山在，哪怕没柴烧。或许在做最坏的决定前，把一切都弄清楚，对我们大家都有好处，至少它不用弄丢性命，而我也不需有这难受的伤口。
P/S：原本只想写一点，哪知道又啰里八唆了一堆，不喜欢看华语的朋友也将就一点先读着吧。

Choices To B Made??
The road not taken? Sounds familiar? Wat come across ur mind when u read bout this term?
It seems like every 1 have to make their choice everyday,everywhere. N different choices will eventually lead to a different set of choices await. Which in turn means tat we have to sacrifice sum other things as well.
I keep flashing bak those important 1 tat I’ve made in the past tis few day. It seems for me tat I should have made a better choice for most of the time. Probably these slight changes tat i 'should' do will turn my lifes upside down totally.
N yet no 1 can ever said tat u had made a right or wrong choice. No juz because most of them are in the middle of 灰色地帶, but as well wat right do others have to say bout ur life?
So, wat to choose for?
These remind me of an email I got from my fren. The mayonnaise jar n coffee story from 1 of the philosophy lecturer. Wat u consider important in ur life? I do mean the most important 1. Urself? Family? Frens? Career? Or even money? Sum may seems vitally important for the moment but most of the time it will turn out to b wat we call illusion sum day.
Life is juz so hard sum time. Full of social pressure. Most of the human being live upon the others hope. It can b those come from parents, siblings, frens, or juz any 1 ard u. If u take it too seriously u will juz end up making urself suffer. Sum 1 told me b4
人生都是一步一脚印慢慢拼凑而成的，如果你觉得辛苦，那你应该感到庆幸，至少你还能努力，因为在上一分钟就已經有许多的人失去了踏步的权利。
N i myself felt so glad tat i still have the chance to choose, at least the decision is still in my hands. It sent me a jolt wif the thought of not being able to make choices for myself.
But another question pop up, how long would it lasts? Say couple of years more? or decades?
Who knows n it is left upon those who in charge to decide, not gonna trouble myself wif all tat bugging thought.

^Friendship^ Philosopher's Points of View
Had written several posts but couldn't find appropriate time to post it up. However this article really caught my eye, despite the number of my friends discuss the issue of friendship in their blog, think tat i should contribute some idea as well.
One way to construe the question of the value of friendship is in terms of the individual considering whether to be (or continue to be) engaged in a friendship: why should I invest considerable time, energy, and resources in a friend rather than in myself?
Sum claims that friendship is “life enhancing” in that it makes us “feel more alive”—it enhances our activities by intensifying our absorption in them and hence the pleasure we get out of them. Friendship is pleasant in itself as well as useful to the friends, it helps promote self-esteem, which is good both instrumentally and for its own sake.
Living well requires that one know the goodness of one's own life; however, given the perpetual possibility of self-deception, one is able accurately to evaluate one's own life only through friendship, in which one's friend acts as a kind of mirror of one's self. Hence, a flourishing life is possible only through the epistemic access friendship provides.
The sort of shared activity characteristic of friendship is essential to one's being able engage in the sort of activities characteristic of living well “continuously” and “with pleasure and interest”. Such activities include moral and intellectual activities, activities in which it is often difficult to sustain interest without being tempted to act otherwise.
Friendship, and the shared values and shared activities it essentially involves, is needed to reinforce our intellectual and practical understanding of such activities as worthwhile in spite of their difficulty and the ever present possibility that our interest in pursuing them will flag. Consequently, the shared activity of friendship is partly constitutive of human flourishing.
