Orthros no Inu

those who want to be popular.. cannot hang around with the absolute truth.
those who want to stick with the absolute truth.. cannot be popular.

well the above two lines have little to do with the japanese dorama that vivy successfully recommended to me actually. i just felt like starting with those words.

the dorama was about a kindhearted teacher who could kill with a touch of his hand and a mysterious death-row prisoner who could heal any kind of wound or sickness with a touch of his hand.

those who watch Inuyasha would notice the resemblance.

i don't see too much of a problem with a guy who could kill by touching. maybe because we grow in a country full with stories of some witches who could kill from afar.

but it's definitely problematic when you have someone who could heal with his touch.
the world would bow down to him.. there are people who would do anything, including killing, to be healed.

and i like how this dorama, like some other japanese serials, fleshes out the ugliness of human's greed and desire.

and it brings us to the point of 'killing'.
basically.. often.. we don't kill not because we don't want to do it..
we don't kill because:
1. we don't have the capability, or..
2. we are scared of the consequence (prison, death sentence, hell?)

and we hate to admit or acknowledge that it's the truth.

Hmm..

si mahasiswa NTU yg bunuh diri itu denger2 namanya david. sigh.. mgkn final year presssure was too much to him. jadi inget masa2 kerjain final year project, tinggal 3 bulan dan gua maseh blank. untung ngga masuk berita ky dia. life is a funny thing. well since there is a chance that this may not be a simple suicide, lets not assume so. maybe there's a truth behind this. duh.. jd inget kalo di conan trus dia bilank, "ini bukan bunuh diri.. ini adalah kasus pembunuhan!" jadi serasa mao jadi detektip -_-

Father

I am reading the book "Wild at Heart". One of the most striking points that the author made was that of how many, if not almost all, men are most severely wounded by their own father. You would have thought that your dad will be the one who believes in you when everyone else is doubting you. You expect him to do so. Coz when he does, you know that it ain't matter even if the rest are against you. So when it turns out that he is siding with those who doubt you. It hurts the most. It kills off your hope. It strips you off your courage and belief to be a real man. Because the man who is suppose to show you how to be a real man, the one whose approval matters the most.. does not side with you. He loves you.. yes. But a father's role is not simply to love and nurture. He is more than just that. He is your assurance, stronghold, strength. He leads you into adventure, he fights with you side by side, he shows you how to rescue a beauty. When your father of flesh and blood ca...
