Protection



"God loved the birds and invented trees. Man loved the birds and invented cages."
- Jacques Deval

I want to get rid of cages and fly in blue sky. Over protective is not protection.

Boundaries are good, for one's sake. But when it became crippling rules, not just one's opportunity to grow is killed, it could mean harm too.

We have freedom. That's the best gift from God. It's our decision how to apply rules to either be it constructive or destructive. I agree cages are for beasts.

when we try to cage everything, out of good intention to protect, often the end result would not be expected. God in his infinite wisdom created mankind who can make own decision and He did not regret to make us so special.

Everyone has freewill, it's God given. While man abuse their freedom, we need it to stay healthy as well to be whole.

If one solution doesn't work, try another. God gave us brilliant brain and ability to think and be creative. Unlike animal, man hold the power to invent useful things and make this world beautiful; or destruct everything on earth into ugly wasteland. Animal just live.

Man is able to reason. Without reasoning, we can be more animal than animal. Man are thoughtful being, we need to understand and relate to others. Animal doesn't understand consequences. All man are gifted, make use of our unique gifts to benefit one another.

My point is, identify cages in life, unleash your potential. When cage doesn't work, plant trees.

Airplane Faith



“When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it."

Is that true to you also?

Even I am flying up high, there's still wind against me. Unless I get rid of gravity force and flying in outer space.

How to get into outer space? Must I also follow the steps of how rocket overcome the grip of earth? What about chances? Is there true freedom in outer space? Earth is dying? Any hope?

Like the picture, my heart is at sunset. Not all sunset is beautiful and pleasant experience. To me, it's like the bright happy day is going to end in darkness. Maybe I'm wrong, I hope it's dawn instead.

守得云开见日出还是守得云开见月明。希望山穷水尽后,可以看见另一世界。

why so messy




An advice for all my programmer friends:
Always code as if the person who ends up maintaining your code is a violent psychopath who knows where you live.
Yes, it's harder to read code than to write it. Please write readable codes. I don't want to end up visiting you in hospital you hear me?

Maintenance programming: Altering progams after they have been in use for a while. Maintenance programming may be performed to add features, correct bugs that escaped detection during testing, or update key variables (such as the inflation rate) that change over time.
