The Calendars and Astronomy lecturer was crappy as usual, but he said something really meaningful last lesson. He was talking about how the the Chinese calendar was used for geomancy and fortune-telling.
People always wished they know the future. Don't you yearn for that too? He commented there's only one reason why people wanted to know the future. It's not because you just simply want to be informed what's going to happen next, but be able to change the outcome if it's ominous. Sometimes it's just better to be ignorant. If you know the future and can't do anything to change it for the better, would you still want to know it?
Sounds a little science-fiction now. But for me, at that particular instance when he mentioned it, I said to myself that I don't mind seeing what's beyond. Maybe I can appreciate what's around me more.
Anyway, I've a pile of skyscraper-high assignments. Can't seem to finish them any time soon. It's work and work! Work and work!! There's one quote that goes somewhat like that:
"Solving a problem only leads to a more difficult problem."
To get around this, it sounds so simple. Don't solve the problem! But by not solving a problem, more problems will come. That leave you with one instinctive choice and that's to solve it. Eventually, we have more responsibility and tougher decision to make. It's like things keep piling up. You can don't clear it now, but when you want to, there's so much more to.
Breath in and smile! The next minute, breath in and sigh...
'NUFFsaid... and the tune of 4 Minutes is so catchy!
