Humanity has been in my mind lately

humanity : The condition or quality of being human - dictionary.com

been seeing really disturbing news recently like the austria incest case (totally disturbing) the hk minced meat murder case, the malaysia rape case (father attempting rape on son's gf but ending up killing her) the distastrous cyclone that kill 20,000 in myanmar because they weren't given enough notice for evacuation from the authorities, aid to the victims from all around was stopped due the reluctance of the rigid military ruled country to accept direct aid from outsiders. if thats nt enough the government continue to hold its polling instead concentrating on giving aid to the affected areas, victims also claims they were given tv sets. disgusting.

few nights ago i caught the rawanda genocide documentary on history channel, one of the worst mass killing after the cambodia massacre in the 1990s. this prolly sets me thinking...

is humanity born or taught? With the current level of education people should know what is right and wrong, right? I believe the media plays a very important part in this and yes humanity is definitely taught.

The current media are ever so hungry for 'crazy' news, shocking and appalling news gets the headlines, they increase readerships, and if a person sees this in a daily basis for a really long period of time, does it make one or two people to think killing and torturing a human being is normal? are movies turning more violent? where many die senselessly and one start to disregard death. are ordinary people who become psychopath born this way? is that the adverse side of excess information in advanced countries?

How about the results of lack of information, people from 3rd world countries never have enough information and media exposure to know what is happening around them and most importantly on what is human rights, they end up believing wars and dying is a way of life and accept it without questioning the government. they also get brainwashed easily by leaderships bastards hungry for power causing civil war within.

suddenly i didn't feel its funny when contestants from Miss Universe always hope for world peace in their Q&A.

what can we do at our end, we who are not the rich, powerful, famous or even won Miss Universe?

i think we can play our part by knowing who we are and sharing what we know is right. never think just one me will never make any difference, a person can makes a difference if ten persons start thinking the same way. (im really not preaching here) for example telling your husband, wife, children, siblings by to be respectful to their maids, thanking the auntie who cleans your office every morning, or avoid making a mess with your food after your meal, its just the basic respect for the person who is going to clean your table, by keeping up with current news and highlighting those worthy of some after-thots to others who dont read newspapers is also a form of social responsibility.

i can really go on and on about humanity but its not something i can put into words or even cover in just a blog entry, im not even sure what i wrote holds any weight to the heavy topic ive touched

but i believe im not alone in playing my part as a good samaritan in our daily lives.

it might start with an action really small...but its always a beginning.

===================================================================

for something lighter, we celebrated cat's birthday last sat. managed to catch up with my ex-colleagues. im just glad we partied like before and sammie kaline if u are reading this...i miss you guys so much!!

birthday girl aka dearest ah cat






alot more ppl was there but sadly it wasnt caught on camera. just got my new canon ixus 950 and happily brought it out to hao lian, only i forgot to change the SD card and i only got the default 32MB card to take for the whole night!!!!

true. with stupidity and greed flying around in humans head, it's gonna be hard to promotoe world peace since it's not the general people who don't want peace but leaders themselves.
