Couple events swirled past lately that caused my thoughts venture deeper into the complex nature of the human world. I realized that the human brain is like a stack of papers capturing memories of certain people in our lives. These pieces of paper are too often too easily stained and what’s worse is that these stains aren’t easy to wash off.
As a Christian, I am taught to forgive and forget. Such a simple yet uphill task, I often question why can’t people just stop dwelling on what has happened in the past and forgive one another? Why can’t the very thought that stem from our minds about a particular someone be a blank piece of paper? Why must it be tainted? But as I question why can’t others do it, I probe myself whether I have actually done it. Well I would say to a certain extent, so to put in bluntly no. The thought of certain people just brings about negative connotations, even though I forgive others but forgetting is not a simple task. Often I forget only for short periods of time. Ultimately, to forgive is to forget.
I recall a quote that I love a lot that is “Many people often think of having the best start, but it’s not about having the best start but to create the best ending”. Likewise, when it comes to love, “It’s not about finding the perfect lover but creating the perfect love”.
To: One of my friend out there (When you see this, you would know it’s for you)
“Everything that happens in our lives happens for a reason, when something sad or unhappy occurs reflect for example on the learning point if there is one. Pray if you are a Christian, think positive and get on with life. If through your reflection you manage to find the answer I would feel happy for you. But if you have yet to find the answer, fret not. That is why we are living life, that is to understand things that we don’t. Live on bravely”
Forgetting is never easy, “If you let go of who you are, you will become who you might be” – Lao Tzu

A rare moment in which I would blog twice in a day, but I simply couldn't resist I needed to explode somwhere. Anyways ...
The scene in 通天幹探 in which Moses exchanged shots with Yuen Biao simply made me feel like crying. It was really touching, show casing an example of what it means to help your friend to the greatest extent. In that particular scene Moses was a cop turned bad, he tried to silence someone in order to cover his deepest darkest secrets. Yuen Biao his good friend who found out caught him red handed and when they were exchanging gun shots, I thought to myself... great this is going to be a stupid ending in which everyone dies but on the contrary the next scene was a heart stopper.
Instead of shooting his friend Yuen Biao shot the person behind Moses who wanted to do him harm, and Moses who was a particular jackass in that scene shot his friend. I simply wanted to cry at that point of time.
Yuen Biao a cop with extrasensory perception had premonitions that his friend would shoot him but instead of running he chose to march towards his death all for the sake of friendship. Would you do the same if you were him? I hope I live to become such a man in the future.
