"I am a demon" utters the young girl Saya in a scene before her master Kato who is dying. "No, demons have no soul. You have a soul" responds Kato in his dying breath. "Heaven puts demons on earth to test humans' virtue," thus utters Kato to Saya as he combs her hair for her in an earlier flashback. "If demons are there for us to show our good, why do we then kill them?" asks Saya. "Every man is appointed to his duty by heaven. It is not for us to ask beyond that," as Kato responds concerning the need for Saya to abide by her mission. The idea that one is called to heroism, to martial action against evil even in the darkest hour against all odds, is an idea which has roots in these very ancient and medieval narratives, and which in some way enjoys currency even now.
So evils have to exist, put there by god, to provide the contrast of good against evil. to show the true good in a pure heart. It’s not possible to rid all evil, since god can easily inject evil into another being’s life, for every evil that is slain. To destroy all evils in humans is in itself a race against god.
But with hypnosis, to allow the evil to stay alive, but forgetting his contaminated nature, is a trick that some can use against god. He’ll never know. But maybe that’s what he wants us to think. Because that’s what he wants. Tolerance and acceptance. Not killing the evil, but convincing them to turn to good. Tolerating and accepting their existence, changing them. this is a chess move. God, your turn next. Let’s see how you balance the good and evils again. But know that for every move, there will be people out there who will try to tip the balance towards good again.
Had econs remedial overview on microecons this morning. Ended at 11, tht of either going to the range to visit my juniors or going to amk hub for a movie and lunch. Heh. oh wells.. was thinking and thinking so hard.. guess if I was cap it wouldn’t have been such a hard decision after all ba.. but I’ve to remember that I’m not, and I don’t owe them anth. guess I’m just too used to leading that I’ve forgotten what it means to be a follower. I’ve been in some high seats since lk p1 all e way to lk sec4.. tt’s lk 10 yrs of my life.. hahax.. 10 yrs in either top pupil or vicechair/psl/housecomm/schrepresentative/invitationalspeaker(yea, I was invited to speak about change at the STAR conference in p6.). well, 10 years. And I’ve kinda forgotten how’s it’s like to be selfish, and to be served, and to have a laid back attitude, and to relax and heck care.
All the time, you’re used to teaching your friends who can’t really catch up with their work. All the time, you’re used to actively helping the team achieve their goals. But now, your studies need help, and you don’t really know how to ask for help. You’re not in a leadership post, but you still feel the need to ensure everything flows well. yea, I have a problem. But well, I don’t regret those 10 years of my life. It’s just that I don’t know how the next 10 years of my life will be, that’s all.
Hahax.. OH WELLS. in e end, decided to go for lunch at amk hub, to give myself time to think. (yea, sounds stupid. well, it is.) heh. lol.. met R at amk hub! so went to watch blood: the last vampire. Lol.. some fight scenes really reminded me of those days with them yea. well, I guess for us, it’s 不打不相识 ba? Yea, she is pro. the katana skills are really quite good. quite imba ba.. I still remember the running up wall with the umbrella, and then executing the lunge from the wall.. HAHA.. din know you live arnd amk now.. well, we’re all grown up, no more street fights to protect the bubble tea shop uncle. Heh. all those stupid things we do, the martial arts we learnt and used just cos it was cool like in the movies and tv, all the troubles we gotten into and out. those were the days yea. I’ll see you arnd someday ba.. though it’s a recession period with rampant crimes, I guess I just can’t be the same as before. I’ve my own life to lead. We’ve got A’s this year yea. it’s no more like those days when you don’t study and still score well. we’ve all gotta start studying hard ba.. take care yea.
Ok, gotta start mugging now. Physics. Yea. and Amides. Lol..
