Ignorance or stupidity?

That day, I saw a father transporting his toddler in the front carrier basket of a motorcycle without a helmet, while he himself wore one. I wondered if he wore it due to enforcement by lawmakers or if his tiny 5-pound brain thought he needed it.

We all wish luck will always be on her side. The little girl is not only exposed to danger but also subjected to an ignorant attitude passed down to her like pedigree.

Most of the time, we think "it's okay" when nothing happens, right?

Wrong! "Convenient" is sometimes just another way to spell "risk."

Has our overly simplified societal culture blinded us, or have we simply stopped thinking? (Maybe we've forgotten that we can think at all.)

To me, it feels like living in an "Artificial Intelligent" environment where we tempt fate by ignoring the dangers around us.

Look around us, from our society to our very own households. Have we reflected enough on the adjustments needed to adapt to modern civilization?

Here are some thoughts to ponder: Who makes the decisions...

1. About the toxic packaging we use?
2. When voting for less than "noble" politicians?
3. About following a flawed system?
4. When wasting our time on meaningless pursuits?
5. About conforming to the wrong crowd?

This list could go on indefinitely...

Migratory Chinese

You cannot keep the Chinese; not even their own land can keep them. By nature, Chinese people are among the most migratory races.

Born with an entrepreneurial spirit in their DNA and driven by a desire for a better lifestyle, many Chinese are motivated to relocate around the world in search of a more suitable place to settle.

There's a saying that wherever there is good 'Sun & Soil,' you will find Chinese people.

If the 'Peking Man' did it before, so will modern Chinese. The new migration patterns of Chinese people are mainly driven by their survival instincts, or perhaps, more humorously, by their reincarnation from countless lives of ancient Chinese warfare. One wonders what benefits the ancient kings brought to their people in return. (Thanks to the Qing dynasty, whether selfish or not, at least it brought an end to the endless wars.)

Regardless, there is a place for everyone in this world. Philosophically speaking, the world should not have borders or citizenship. Modern people should look at the bigger picture rather than confining themselves to the stereotypical viewpoints of fabricated 'keyholes' from others.

My skin may be yellow, but my blood is red, just like yours, no matter what color your skin is. So, let's be open and embrace the practice of loving kindness, my friends.
