I saw two unconnected pieces in National Geographics last week. One was about the death of Hitler and the other one about a calf that was attacked by six lions and a croc but was still able to escape albeit with great aid from his mates.
I saw the second one as the will to live is exceptionally strong but sometimes may simply not be enough. The calf struggled, kicked, screamed with life being seemingly sucked out by the seconds but fought and fought and fought as all those watching nottingly nod to the futility of it. But then out of the sudden an unseen before scene transpired and buffaloes in a herd attacked the lions and free the calf. Life and for life we should kick and bite and fight but not, NOT for death and the biggest death merchant of all, the highly surreal Hitler.
He brought death by the millions and compelled Germany to die with him. Let us not fight to bring back the memory of this man and let us not follow the Jewish unsatisfiable hunger to have a piece of his flesh to burn over and over again. Let us forget him and many others who were like him.
Forget him and throw his memory of the human mind shelf. His legacy should not be reminded to us all in a wonderful media information show such as the National Geographic Channel.

Mistakes and Faults
Humans, we are. Let nobody tells us otherwise and to prove to ourselves and even the mighty ones, we make mistakes. We make them not all the time but they do happen. Sometimes these mistakes becomes the opener for old can of worms, sometimes they just dissapear and well sometimes.. mistakes as in the earlier statement will just happen.
You are no less a man or woman if you make mistakes. It is precisely what you do after making them that defines your character. If you've made an error of judgement, a bad call or a stupid step; first and foremost admit it or them. Second, apologize and do it meaningfully. Third, try not to do it again as most people especially the ones that matter to us should not be made to suffer fools who are stupid enough to make incessant mistakes one after another.
We are human and thus not perfect. We make mistakes and sometimes these mistakes create a Godzila type problem but remember still, as humans we have a life and thus a role to play in others' life so rectify the mistakes and move on. Do not ge too bog down with the consequences.
Kids can behave like that but not adults, never should adults be so judgemental on themselves.
Humans,... Do the best and expect the worst.Life would be quite interesting.

Political maturity in Malaysia
Never in fifty years. Never in fifty years that something like what had happen in the silver state could happen before in Malaysia.
Reasons; Not enough thinkers want to think about politics other than maintaining the old Barisan vanguard status quo. Things were okay then, we could go to work, kids can go to school, people have jobs, wife have to go to work .. er this particular statement was an obvious change from the fifties, sixties and seventies but people who can think just pointed out to the fact that women wanted career as they were more educated. But, Really, Do we really want to work?
I do not and if I can afford it I probably would not.
Women going to work was a big change but not big enough to move massess of thinkers to change the status quo and see what's next. Not enough, even when the corruption index, even when politicians were driving around in super expensive cars and living in castles, not enough.
But now, political maturity just seem to happen. We do not like the politicians or what they are doing or not doing we change them. Direct and strong political actions.We change them like in the 5 states that were lost to Pakatan Rakyat. They were changed. TBo Hoo but the beauty of political maturity is the fact that the people who later did not like the Pakatan rakyat in Perak then decided to change albeit through a weird and almost uncivilized manner but somehow or rather, change happen quite fast and after the change, we could still do and go about our daily chores nonchalantly.
Beautiful, to have the fights only in media but business still goes on.
