It only takes a spark, to get the fire going...
We all know that when a butterfly flutters, it creates a whirlwind somewhere on the other side of the world. Even Newton defines the first law of physics as for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Combining these two thoughts, what you get is what ever you do, will create an equal and opposing reaction. The chain reaction you created will 'bubble out' and as the 'bubble' expands, all the reaction takes place to counter that expanding 'bubble'. Perhaps it will go as far as how much the bubble surface will stretch before bursting.
Profound as it sounds, it simply means what is that small action you take to create the chain reaction that changes the future. Just make sure that it is the right thing. For we do not know the far reaches of that action can do.
Many times, for most of us, we are not doing that one right thing to make the difference to the world. However, we can do the one right things to make the difference for the people we know, the people around us. The consequence for them can be life changing.
I often wished I have done the one right thing to make a world of difference to the people I know. The 'wow' effect is certainly felt when I see how far it cascade. Of course, no one is perfect. The consqeuence can be a world of detrimental pain.
What I wished more than anything else is to do the one right thing for myself. Perhaps I have done it a long time ago, or I am still waiting for it to be done.
I wonder who will see my own 'wow' effect. I am certainly blind from behind.
Whether this is for someone or for myself, let us just say that it will be the best to share the feeling of the 'wow' with the people you know.
'Wow'.

happy
As humanity progresses, it strive upon itself as things become more complicated.
Learning maths isn't just one plus one anymore. It has become a sophisticated matrix of formulas to calculate the precision of putting a man on the moon, firing the right dose of radiation for treatment, computing the right prices that drives an economy, estimating the odds in gambling, predicting the trend in human behaviour or knowing how much to eat for a balanced diet. The list does not end here.
It gets to us in trying to do almost anything and puts the question, "is it worth to do this or to do that?" in our minds. While it is necessary for such arithmatic for some cases, most other cases are beyond the capabilities of a matrix formula in a super calculator.
We become too calculative and get caught in trying to unravel mysteries upon mysteries. We worry and take the anxieties even to sleep. Eventually we become numb and cannot feel ourselves.
Are we lost to the realm of creating perfection?
I see the things in life that bring joys to the heart are the simplest things. They are but little things, like a walk in the park, or have a meal under the open sky.
There is a greater joy to these little, simplest things - to share the same joy with someone who believes in the same things. This is something I always look forward to.

fantasy
Even heroes have the right to bleed...Even heroes have the right to dream...
We are humans. Last reality check, we cannot recall ever about any person or being that survives from some distance past and is still in the present, and is expected to live to the future.
The mind itself will create the imagery that defies the laws of physics, or distorts the laws of rationality to survive the time between activities. Some people does it more, some people does it less.
In the past, such rift in the mind is limited, yet it effectively calms the mind and allows imagination to evetually mature into reality. The imagination is spoken. Over time, the imagination is also expressed through the hand. In the last century, expression of the imagination has increased multiple fold to such an extent that the imagination can be redrawn, story re-told, and worlds re-created. The make believe world is now digital.
With such ability, the mind is capable of overcoming almost anything. Capable to scale the next level. What is after digital?
However, the mind isn't always in the straight line of thoughts. Often, thoughts are in a convolution, unable to find an exit in the mind, unable to let go. Where dreams are shattered, they are rebuilt to perfection. Even the greatest mind is unable to overcome this deficiency. Just like any human bleeds when cut.
I cannot understand how to escape convoluted thoughts, what controls it.
Will the thoughts come true one day? Will digital becomes physical? Will the mind cross from cloudy to clarity?
If only a thought becomes real.

hope
When something happens in the world, it just gets worst.
We often hope to yearn for something ideal to come our way in life. It never comes until you have given up waiting - when it is least expected.
"You are too late". The unexpected appears, magically, as if all the answers are answered at the same time with an overwhelming exception. That exception tears the magic of the beautiful ideal apart, literally shreds it to pieces.
The innerself is torn between two choices: the obvious and the miracle. The innerself launches itself in search of the future. To see past the crystal ball. Although the white lights swirls within the crystal ball, they remained as white lights. The eyes are unable to penetrate the swirling.
The turmoil rages within the innerself to make out the future, but is kept anchored to what has happened.
The obvious - move on. The miracle - supernatural change. The choice is not difficult to make. It is a question of which choice is more stronger to believe in.
I am doomed to search. I can't decide.

cherish
Life is about change - Sometimes is painful; Sometimes is beautiful. But most of the time is both.
There is a constant flux of change in life. It can become unmanageable. There is so much to consider. Is there any escape from this?
Albert Einstein said that a photograph captures that one moment in time. When you look at it, you look at the past. Life has moved on.
The meaning of life is baffling. You want to contain it but it slips all the time. So, the best time in life is when you cherish it - all the time.
Yet, there is a greater life. The greater life is to cherish it with someone. If there is an eternity, I want to be there with you.
Eternity is there, won't you please come? There is eternity. I will wait.

the next dimension
Prayer is the highest activity of the human soul.
I heard on the BBC the other day that research has shown that embeded in human is the perception or impression of a higher being, known as God. Regardless of culture, religion and including anti-Theo beliefs, man will look to a greater being through prayers. Anti-Theo beliefs inherently also need to pray. They cannot dismiss the need to look to luck or hope on something when something happens. It is where all else, physical, emotional and so on ends and spirituality begins.
The saying goes: People do not care how it works, so long as it works. When things begin to fail, where rational once hold true but no longer anymore, everyone, heroes or anti-heroes will have to face destiny - that which is inevitable. It is in these times, men look to God. It is embeded within man. There is no escape.
The BBC program mentioned that the reason for having the belief of God is to bring people together. Similarly, dis-similar beliefs divide people. Some people don't even pray. Do they neglect the activity for their human soul.
So, where does one stand when it comes to prayer?
I prayed, and I pray. Usually for reasons other than my own. Usually for other people. And these prayers are answered or are they miracles that happened because of it? I don't know. But the prayers are answered, for them. My own prayers for myself are not answered. Sad. My soul longs for an answer.
Will it come a time that just one prayer for myself is answered?

ecclesiastes 311
He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end.
One night, at that time I was eight, I woke up in the middle of it. I thought I saw eternity. Someone took hold of me and showed me the universe. I think I know who.
I knew about eternity, but I don't understand it. I still don't understand.
