Rant 172 / All Those Moments Will Be Lost In Time, Like Tears In Rain.

Even the most atrocious deed has its benefits. Nothing is without a price. Nothing is without a consequence. Nothing is without its pros and cons.


What all children really need is someone who inspires them to do great things. Once a child meets one and becomes inspired to dream big dreams, he/she will have the motivation to do something. Motivation is the most important thing one must have if one wants do anything with one's life.

What use is discipline if one has no motivation to use it?






Seriously, do people wipe their asses properly after passing motion? Twice in two years I have encountered people who smells like shit without my nose anywhere near their asses. Wtf ppl? How clean do other people wipe their asses? Personally I'd prefer water since it's the best solution after all. But when left with no choice, I'd wipe till the papers are clean when they leave my hand. That is what I mean by properly - when there is not even a stain left to wipe.

But fuck man, the smell of shit is strong. My guess is that even one tiny speck will create whiffs of disgusting odour that will repel all who come near the person. But I'm usually too polite to even mention it. I'm pretty sure they smell it too and there is no way to solve it other than changing their underwear and cleaning their ass again.

No matter how urgent life gets, please, please wipe properly. One instant of detecting such a smell is all it takes to shock the senses.







This is yet another healthy day for me. So far, all I've eaten is porridge cooked with a little chicken stock that has no added MSG, and 2/3 of a jar of bamboo shoots mixed with mushroom and gluten. And a few sticks of these cheap Apollo chocolate wafer. As for drinks, I have this 500ml bottle filled with osmanthus green tea made from 2 packets of powder.

A vegetarian diet right after a day of stuffing myself at Kushin-Bo. Need to offset some of the sins.




I fear to think what will happen after this year. My inspiration will be leaving. What will continue to motivate me?




What can change the nature of a man? I believe I have found my answer.





What can change the nature of a man? I am no longer the nihilist I once was. Perhaps I still believe in a nihilistic approach in many things in life, but for once, I have a reason to do something in life. The only difference between the nihilist that I was and a scholar is our motivations. I had no reason to do anything. The main reason I am here was because I don't want to live a shitty life like the way those contractors and technicians I used to escort do. But that's it. I didn't have any reason whatsoever to make me even want to get honours for my degree.

What can change the nature of a man? Now I want to get a Ph.D someday. Nothing in life mattered. Nothing else in life matters. I had no reason to live. I have no other reason to live.

What can change the nature of a man? As a nihilist in many ways, one of the truths I have figured out is that there is no higher meaning in life. Our purpose is what we make it to be. So here, this shall be my purpose. First and foremost, I shall be doing this for her. If one day I should ever lose this reason, a Ph.D is still good for many things, like a comfortable life in the academic world.

What can change the nature of a man? How can a nihilist become motivated? They generally live and die very quietly. No one ever remembers a person who has never done anything right or wrong. Few ever spread their beliefs because they have no reason to do so.

What can change the nature of a man?







It is not right. There is not enough time in a day to complete what I need to do.
