To future readers
Posted on October 28, 2011
To those who will be seeing this in the future, don’t get bogged down by what u see. Look beyond. Sometimes things are not what they seem to be, this phrase’s common enough but many truely understand it. Though it will be a problem if it is common. But if there isn’t any such ppl who are able to, the progression would not be at the most effective rate and even deteriorate. Complacency is also a fault here.
Another thing. What will come, will come. It’s a matter of how you respond to it. Ur choice of action together with your personality will determine whether you will survive it or not and how well. That’s why the commonly uttered phrase in Chinese guzhuang xi “天机不可泄漏＂，＂时机还未到＂. Because if you know what has to come beforehand, you will be prepared for it and the result will change.
**Oh and if I did mention anything abt how I increase my energy within a limited time through breathing regulations, especially through manipulating heart rates through willpower, don’t follow. It’s dangerous. The whole cardiac system can go haywire and cardiac system is the most important system besides the functioning of the brain. It’s just that I don’t mind the consequence and I’m running out of energy and time–busy schedule. My physic’s weak to start with with all those illnesses and disorders bogging me down and eating up a considerable large part of my energies( mentally and physically)
**VERY IMPORTANT IF YOU DON’T WANT YOUR HEART TO OVERWORK WHERE THERE WILL BE AN INCREASE RISK OF CORONARY HEART DISEASES OR CORONARY ARREST, WHICH IS HEART ATTACKS, OR SUDDEN HEART FAILURE. Unless there’s someone there to guide and watch-out. But the best is refraining from it.
还有记得要当个不怕火的真金哦。^-^ 要经得起磨练。^-^ 俗语不是有说吗，大难不死必有后福。^-^ And it strengthens yourself. Life’s can’t always be a bed of roses. ^-
Another thing, fears and weaknesses are equivalent. They can be manipulated by ppl, depending on the motive of these ppl, it can be for worse or for the better. It’s as like what Mishal, in 善德女王said. One’s greatest enemy is actually thyself. Wait, how come I feel like I’m not just 21…-_-||| laoliao…-_-|||
This is the post I posted back a few weeks ago on my private blog. For those who want to check and see the validity of it , check it through legal means.

人之常情
3/10『药医的悠然生活』难得的写得很真实并且把所有人类的劣性一一列出来－相当多的，而且也把不同类型的人类互相对比起来，可是她却能够把这些编进一个故事里真是不简单，故事的连串行也没受到影响。其他一些的online 小说家也有，只不过没她那么多。能写出这些来想必他们熟知人心(/性）^_^
其中一则：劣行难改之人何其多
不明过程/理由，只看成果判人之人何其多
只看到世俗的金叶、意念之人何其多
以小人之心看君子之人虽少但也相当多
以勾心斗角来维持生活在权威越集中的地方越明显
医术可救可杀
早知如此何必当之人何其多但若让他们重来又有多少人能够不重蹈覆辙
知士可杀不可辱之人何其多但能真正做到的人何其少
涉及到他人利益可以雪上加霜但若涉及到自己的利益或所关心的人就急如热锅上的蚂蚁之人何其多(我话是不是说了太直了些？但是看不过这项）
能分辨真正仁慈之心者与表面的仁慈之人何其少更别说执行者，所谓慈父多败儿(虽然执行者有上升的趋势）
长生不老人人想得可是活着勾心斗角、防人之心不可无的生活在原本的寿命还不够累吗
做人做得再好也有出错的时候因人再怎么说也不过是人，可是人人却不那么认为
以上是本人的看法。There's no right or wrong. There are positive and negative sides to human nature. 有了知觉才更有可能提防、戒备负面的人性(用＂腐败＂又有些言重）。

capital punishment, interrogations and confessions
Finally, the nation's sensitive period is over. Oops, and I just realised that I haven't written for a month, I thought I wrote something last month, nevermind. Oh, that was for the other blog, and my essays.
This post may not be relevant to the society I'm living in but still I feel that I should write about it. Great I forgot what I want to write. Interrogations and confessions, and something else...death penalty. Haiz, seems as though I'm digging my own grave again, and it's just before my semester exams...Capital punishment has always been a source of controversies, like euthanasia, and confessions are closely linked to capital punishments. Like many before me had argued, what's the fundamental reason for having capital punishment? And thus, what is the fundamental reason for confessions and like wise for euthanasia? If it is for justice, as in an eye for an eye, a life for a life, but then the victim had already died, well, in most cases, it's homicide cases. So there is the argument that it's for the family members, to 'console' them. But then, their family member's lives cannot be resurrected, so are the writers/debaters trying to say that it's to appease the family members and close ones' anguish and hatred. But then, is this justice? What is the definition of justice? And does it really appease their anger, or does it make them even more bitter? And this is also what I have my doubts about during one of the counseling lectures.
In counseling, one of the methods or rather aim is to try to reduce the family members' the 'why me/her? why they have to die?' etc. thoughts and the feelings which accompany these thoughts (I can't write the exact emotions they are/were experiencing as it's a mixture of almost everything negative,and it also depends on the individuals.), though e.g. retribution etc. But the thing is will they really be freed of these emotions, or will it cause them to have the mindset that whatever wrong the others do, they will receive retribution, and thus become bitter, full of vengeance? What is the definition of best interest of a person?
Another argument is that capital punishment is to deter potential criminals from acting out serious crimes. However, there are statistics which showed that every time a execution is made public, there is a rise in homicides, and they are one victim and one criminal. Is capital punishment sending out the wrong messages? (oh, and by the way, this argument is not original, my apologies to the person) Is it telling the public that it is alright to punish those who have committed a crime or just by do something wrong, here, the definition of wrong is being defined by the public? and thus, justice killings are carried out thus by individuals? Or on the other hand, if the conditions of the hanging place is bad ( usually the death penalty being broad casted is death through hanging), the public may be swayed to the criminals, which defied the purpose. On a side note, in lethal injections, which I just learned about a few days ago, there are witnesses to the injections, witnesses have to be there throughout the whole execution and sign a paper declaring that they witnessed the death of the criminal. The cause of death on the death certificate of the criminal is stated as homicide. Problematic.
Confessions play an important role in law enforcements. It is almost always considered case close when confessions of suspects are being presented in court. In cases which attract the attention of the public, the pressure on the investigators to catch the culprit is large, and in some cases, those investigators who want to close cases within a short period of time have the tendency to overlook certain matters and to have the impression that the suspect that they had are the criminals, there are such cases which happened and happening in real life, it's all on the frontline, innocence project website.
There is this particular case where they caught the suspect whom the neighbour pointed out might be the criminal of a rape and murder case( It's the Norfolk Four case). However, the suspect was merely trying to help the victim's husband, and called the police, and even offered to help the police. However, he never came out of the police station, which he went to offer his aid, for 13 years. The most outrageous part is that, k,the police caught another six to eight in total (cant really remember the no. It was two rows of 4. yeah, 8 of them in total. Four of them, whom were innocent, were convicted and jailed for 8-10 years until last year where they were granted conditional pardons, but not yet exonerated.)and they changed their hypothesis to fit the evidences presented on the crime scene, and the information from forensic science department, without even thinking that they might have caught the wrong person, not really the wrong person, the real criminal was one of them. However, from information gathered from the crime scene, it is quite obvious that the criminal was a single person and the testimony of 'criminals' changed according with the surfacing of new evidences, which they received from investigators. This case was really screwed up, and screwed up four innocent lives--I don't mean death. Best of all, the wrongly convicted are not even exonerated yet despite concrete and new evidences surfacing, one of which the interrogator, who was nicknamed 'the bulldog' was being charged of concocting false statements and bribery, but he was not charged for all the misconduct behaviors he committed during the time he was acting as a police investigator. Their current lawyers are still trying to exonerate them. Now, what is justice? Where is it? In another case, a lawyer was almost jailed for trying to exonerate a wrongly convicted person, the reason given for overturning the verdict was 'in the best interest of the law'. Legislations are not infallible, we have to face it. However, without legal legislation, order and peace would not be easily attained. What a dilemma. But then these loopholes and faults can and has been reducing, but much more can be done. It's fine to make mistakes, humans are not perfect, but once a mistake has been realised, it's better to correct it immediately instead of procrastinating it, which may snowball into worse scenarios, I'm very tempted to say consequences but the word would not fit into the phrase.
The above case mentioned also shows the immense psychological pressure which the suspects undergo in the interrogation rooms, where the phrasing of questions, the setting of the interrogation rooms also add to the pressure, which caused them to confess to crimes they did not commit. True, when facing hardcore criminals, the investigators have to do so, but what if they caught the wrong person, and the person happens to be a normal civilian who does not have such strong psychological defenses where the investigators do not even have to break down in the first place? It's not one rule fits all. Confessions are hard to recant. Even then when they have been exonerated, the bitterness of being failed by the legislation, which is supposed to protect innocents, the kind of self-defense they had to adopt in jail in order to survive the harsh conditions there, the views of the public ( in cases like the rape and murder case mentioned above, and it's not as though they asked for it, the procedure screwed up,)and the feeling of wanting to be free, not just physically but also free from being under someone's influence, instructions, kick in. They'll have a hard time trying to fit into the society, one video even showed that a few of them wished that they were in jail, jail was a better place for them, after they had been exonerated. Some of them may even end up destroying themselves, i.e. self-fulfilling prophecy, whereby they had been told that they are such and ended up believing it themselves and behave like what they are being told, or they refuse to listen to advices of doctors and family members on issues like their health.
Legal system, a seriously dangerous sector.
Law + media + society, a powerful double edge sword. Erm, I'm not opening a Pandora box right? Knew it.

An extract
"Please do not let me stray away from the path I had chosen even though the path is unpredictable and strenuous. Do not let me run back to the path towards the animal kingdom immediately even though it is one of my eventual goals. It's relatively easy to put in effort to help those who had helped you, even if they do push you away but it is tough to reach out a helping hand to those who had once cause you much distress and hurt. However, I owe B many, but B do not want me to repay him. His idea of repaying is to help others. Thanks for reminding me that. Thanks for reminding me why I'm still alive despite my weakened body."--by A
Reflection
Sorry, I can't seem to get the embeded link for this video and if I write the summary out, the impact and various messages would not be captured. It's about the impact of being jailed despite committing no crime and the number of years they have to serve before they are being exonerated, and despite being freed from jail, psychologically, they are still being chained to their past experiences in the jails and their tainted records. Beside the messages which are mentioned in the clips, the following questions ran through my mind: doesn't each one of us have such wounds inflicted upon us in some time within our life span? Even small things like not returning borrowed items from acquaintance. Aren't we similar to these people in these sense? That some of these wounds left permanent scars on our psychological being? How can we avoid such tragedies from happening? Or at least reduce them to the minimal? Just occurred to me that I'm getting more questions but lesser answers...>~<...maybe I'm getting too tired/brain juice can't replenish at the same rate...

Egypt's current political situation, the up-rise of the peasants against the corrupted government; the rise of the price of a barrel of oil to 100 bucks. It all sounds too familiar. I've heard it last year. Exactly the same as what I heard, even the figures and the year. From a video made two years back. From a reliable source. I won't state that video's title or that person's name. It's a sensitive issue. I'm actually regretting not stating clearly about this matter. I only wrote :
This was written after watching the video and doing a bit of reading up on Middle East online newspaper and at that time,current international news. It's clear that what the person said was and is true,one prominent newspaper even had nevermind,I'll just leave it here, though I'm not reading up to check for his reliability, his sincerity was clear and enough for me. Now, I totally understand what he said by he himself was overwhelmed by the news broad casted, which he was told beforehand what was going to happen,a few months before, as the whole thing unfold in front of his eyes. Even though, he had told it to those citizens who listened to the talk show. The accuracy of the information, to the minute details.
I really salute to him. The skeptical comments and outbursts which are written by viewers of video clips posted on youtube, which are not only on this current issue but also on the other issues like petroleum, are downright hurtful. There isn't a need to use such degree of crude language even if they don't believe what he said. The number of such name-callings, accusations and swearings is purely shocking. True, it does show that the speeches had already affected them but it's really hurtful to the speaker, and maybe to his family members. Despite taking the risk of offending those who are in control. He's really treading on very thin ice but what he receives for his effort, courage and concern for the people? But there are some who trusted him. Thankfully. (He's truely courageous, at least more than me, though he said that he's not courageous, he's just doing what they allowed him to do and that he's also scared. But thanks to him, the video's created among many other talk shows on such issues. I, for one, kept semi-silent on this current issue due to fear. Heard of bounty hunters? Oh, and that reminds me of Anna Prokovsky, I hope I didn't spell wrongly, and the reporters-without-borders. Well, goes to show how weak I am. sigh.)
However, the weird thing is that when things happen as how he said, and mind me, not predicted but just purely conveying the information he received, some of those who finally believed him labelled him as a prophet, but the thing is that he had already firmly and repeatedly said that he was just conveying the information he received from other people, not predicting. Do they know what trouble they are putting him into? And he already denied it so many times.
Things aside. The mechanism of how things like price inflation and political instability work and come about are understandable. However, the thing is that why after acquiring the knowledge of functions and the working mechanism of institutions and well, basically how the world works, it seems as though things cannot be changed and solutions that were formed are not solutions which were able to resolve the root problem. Instead, there are people(NOT ALL, only some) who make use of these knowledge for their own benefits which usually are 'treating others as stepping stones' even though some started out with good intentions. What went wrong in the process? But that's not the main question. The main question's why they are able to 'make' things go how as they wanted. It's not just pure understanding of things work, intelligence and luck. The openings or rather the weaknesses of people and the institutions enables them to manipulate the situations and gosh I don't like typing this post T^T, k, nevermind, where am I, manipulate the situations and even create the particular situations which would aid them to their current goals. ( I don't want to type this post T^T. K I sound like a whinny kid. Stop it!"局外人当个傻子似乎不错，/可苦了正义。" Remember what I said? Well, one may find it weird about my reaction and outbursts like the one above 'cos these things are nothing new but it's because it's nothing new that's why I said "(World)History repeats itself in all forms even though efforts are made to try to prevent them from happening, on massive scales". Sometimes people don't really learn from past mistakes. Including me at times. Oh, well.)
True, it is hard to have an utopia world but at least it is possible to strengthen oneself. ( I only got to this thing which I'm saying next, a few days ago, thanks to someone. Only then was I able to see things more clearly. Eh, I'm not saying that the whole thing's crystal clear to me. There are still some foggy parts. Ironically, he wasn't talking about this issue but another one, which was indirectly related to this but I don't think that person knows it.)Have a control over greed. Let not greed control one but one control greed. It's tough but possible. Be grateful for what one has. Let not envy and jealous override one's senses. Isn't greed also one of the reasons for corruption. Eh, pride is also one of the problematic ones but just put that aside first. Problems, I think these can be called problems or maybe flaws, on a personal level can be magnified into a macro-level, like what Shakespeare portrayed in King Lear, the chaos in a family, though it is a royal family, is being brought into the country, disruption of the hierarchy and thus war and chaos broke out. And also in the comics "Mafalda", family is the foundation of a society. It's the same in most societies. Hopefully this post is posted in time in face of the crisis, I have wasted enough time due to my weakness. It's surprisingly simple but yet the impact is shockingly huge. Hope that I didn't take the wrong step. Hopefully the domino effect would be frozen in its tracks.
On occasions, I have been intrigued by the pattern I saw which is that (World)History repeats itself in all forms even though efforts are made to try to prevent them from happening, on massive scales. But now as new information made their way into my attention, me being me starts to try to get to the bottom of it. Why? Circumstances? Man-made circumstances? Human flaws? The result of the continuous old battle between devil and angel? Solution? All questions, no concrete solutions. Freak!! I seriously pray that it's 'no concrete solutions yet'.
(Impulsive)Denial in face of uncertainty and fear is fatal, though inevitable."--9/16/10

True, it does show that the speeches had already affected them but it's really hurtful to the speaker, and maybe to his family members. Despite taking the risk of offending those who are in control. He's really treading on very thin ice but what he receives for his effort, courage and concern for the people? But there are some who trusted him. Thankfully. (He's truely courageous, at least more than me, though he said that he's not courageous, he's just doing what they allowed him to do and that he's also scared. But thanks to him, the video's created among many other talk shows on such issues. I, for one, kept semi-silent on this current issue due to fear. Heard of bounty hunters? Oh, and that reminds me of Anna Prokovsky, I hope I didn't spell wrongly, and the reporters-without-borders. Well, goes to show how weak I am. sigh.)
However, the weird thing is that when things happen as how he said, and mind me, not predicted but just purely conveying the information he received, some of those who finally believed him labelled him as a prophet, but the thing is that he had already firmly and repeatedly said that he was just conveying the information he received from other people, not predicting. Do they know what trouble they are putting him into? And he already denied it so many times.
Things aside. The mechanism of how things like price inflation and political instability work and come about are understandable. However, the thing is that why after acquiring the knowledge of functions and the working mechanism of institutions and well, basically how the world works, it seems as though things cannot be changed and solutions that were formed are not solutions which were able to resolve the root problem. Instead, there are people(NOT ALL, only some) who make use of these knowledge for their own benefits which usually are 'treating others as stepping stones' even though some started out with good intentions. What went wrong in the process? But that's not the main question. The main question's why they are able to 'make' things go how as they wanted. It's not just pure understanding of things work, intelligence and luck. The openings or rather the weaknesses of people and the institutions enables them to manipulate the situations and gosh I don't like typing this post T^T, k, nevermind, where am I, manipulate the situations and even create the particular situations which would aid them to their current goals. ( I don't want to type this post T^T. K I sound like a whinny kid. Stop it!"局外人当个傻子似乎不错，/可苦了正义。" Remember what I said? Well, one may find it weird about my reaction and outbursts like the one above 'cos these things are nothing new but it's because it's nothing new that's why I said "(World)History repeats itself in all forms even though efforts are made to try to prevent them from happening, on massive scales". Sometimes people don't really learn from past mistakes. Including me at times. Oh, well.)
True, it is hard to have an utopia world but at least it is possible to strengthen oneself. ( I only got to this thing which I'm saying next, a few days ago, thanks to someone. Only then was I able to see things more clearly. Eh, I'm not saying that the whole thing's crystal clear to me. There are still some foggy parts. Ironically, he wasn't talking about this issue but another one, which was indirectly related to this but I don't think that person knows it.)Have a control over greed. Let not greed control one but one control greed. It's tough but possible. Be grateful for what one has. Let not envy and jealous override one's senses. Isn't greed also one of the reasons for corruption. Eh, pride is also one of the problematic ones but just put that aside first. Problems, I think these can be called problems or maybe flaws, on a personal level can be magnified into a macro-level, like what Shakespeare portrayed in King Lear, the chaos in a family, though it is a royal family, is being brought into the country, disruption of the hierarchy and thus war and chaos broke out. And also in the comics "Mafalda", family is the foundation of a society. It's the same in most societies. Hopefully this post is posted in time in face of the crisis, I have wasted enough time due to my weakness. It's surprisingly simple but yet the impact is shockingly huge. Hope that I didn't take the wrong step. Hopefully the domino effect would be frozen in its tracks.

烦
看似自由非自由
看似简单非简单
看似无虑非无虑
看似儿戏非儿戏
不想知却又不能
非明显的事物
反而看得更清
是咒还是赋？
不知，不懂，也不想管。
‘船到桥头自然直’
顺其自然会雨过天晴么？
大道理，不想知，
大局势，不想顾。
傻人有傻福，
局外人当个傻子似乎不错，
可苦了正义。
*没特别的意思所在。

城市人
“It’s alright
乖，没事了
不哭，不哭” 好久没听到了。
这慈祥的话，温柔的声音好怀念。
长大了， “不许哭，不许闹”成了口头禅；
强逼自己闯一关接着一关，渐渐成了习惯。
累了也不能松歇，
任何缺点都会致命。
坚强不过是关键的生存面具。
是么？
