Than a world where I've never heard of quantum physics, where Tan Sze Chuan fails his exams, where Rainy starts having conscious thoughts, where Shaun can run faster than me, when Daniel doesn't do his homework. Where the Sky is yellow, and the seas are orange. Or maybe the sun is a neon green, and the moon repels the earth. Maybe I'll be interested in linguistics, rather than science. Maybe science will be religion, and religion be something else. Where everything is different, but everything is still the same. The world is changing, and so must we. So must I, put some emphasis on that one. But we don't want to. Humans do not like the notion of change. We're all perfectly comfortable with our present lives. Rather, we want more, but we don't dare to try. But why should we want more? Why should we want to change? We all know that it's going to get harder, more challenging, and ultimately more depressing.

But honestly, it is inevitable. Why do we try so hard to stay with our present environments? Why are we so afraid to venture outward, to make a difference? Simply, we fear the unknown. Not so simply, humans have a tendency to tread the paths already beaten and worn. What do you call new technology? It's just old technology, with fancy parts added. What is the internet? Surely, such a complex web of information and communication has to be something totally revolutionary, but it's not. The internet is a glorified fax machine. It's just been amped up a little and given a nice cover to it. But it's this tendency to stay in the safe zone, which stops us from truly being who we are.

Still, that's another question. Who are we? What significance to we have in this world? Sometimes I think that I overreact to these things. I feel as if I mean nothing, one out of 6.6 billion human beings. If I just vanish off the face of the earth, would it matter? In my lifetime, am I going to bring humanity ahead one more step, or am I just going to waste our so very precious resources? Does humanity really need me? It doesn't seem so. But then again, I'm willing to bet that many famous, important people in this world once thought so. It's really impossible to imagine though. Try imagining... Your mom when she was a kid. It's not so easy, is it? And that's your mom, someone you grew up with.

I have honestly never gone through a day like this in my life. In the morning, I felt the best I've ever felt. The memories of the previous day, the feeling of a good rest. But then it all came crashing in the evening. I won't go into detail with that, since no one wants to hear me whine and complain. I don't know. I just hope that my ramblings gave you a little insight.

On a lighter note, here's another picture to amuse ourselves with:
