BioA repository of things happening in my life, and anything that takes my interest.
What I do with my spare time:
- surf the web
- read novels
- watch anime
- make up music in my head - usually melancholy played with orchestral musical instruments. It really depends on my mood. (if there's a machine in the world that can directly translate the music into sound, that'd be so cool, because I'd love to hear it in real life.)
- write RPG (and novel if it's time)
- do chores
Philosophies:
- 'Love' can really solve everything, but everyone is too selfish.
- It's easier to point out faults of others than learn about myself.
- There're tons of stuff that one can discover about oneself, but it's a painful process.
- The world cannot save the environment without paying the cost. It's too late.
- People never learn from history.
- Capitalism is evil and it creates and promotes inequalities.
- Hate conformity.
- Geography should be made compulsory alongside with English and Maths in schools.
- Don't complain, count the blessings you have.
- The world is too cold.
Some favourite quotes from Steven Erikson's fantasy series: Malazan Book of the Fallen:
"... the assumption is the foundation stone of Letherii society, perhaps all societies the world over. The notion of inequity, my friends. For from inequity derives the concept of value, whether measured by money or the countless other means of gauging human worth. Simply put, there resides in all of us the unchallenged belief that the poor and the starving are in some way deserving of their fate. In other words, there will always be poor people. A truism to grant structure to the continual task of comparison, the establishment through observation of not our mutual similarities, but our essential differences." - Tehol Beddict in "Midnight Tides"
"Rich? More like mired in minutiae ..... In this case it was an indolence characterised by a pursuit of knowledge, a frenzied search for answers to everything, no matter the value of such answers. A civilisation can as easily drown in what it knows as in what it doesn't know." - Icarium in "Deadhouse Gates"
"The world, Ahlrada Ahn knew, was indifferent to the necessity of preservation. Of histories, of stories layered with meaning and import. It cared nothing for what was forgotten, for memory and knowledge had never been able to halt the endless repetition of wilful stupidity that so bound poeples and civilizations." - Ahlrada Ahn in "The Bonehunters"
"We humans do not understand compassion. In each moment of our lives, we betray it. Aye, we know of its worth, yet in knowing we then attach to it a value, we guard the giving of it, believing it must be earned. T'lan Imass. Compassion is priceless in the truest sense of the word. It must be given freely. In abundance." - Itkovian in "Memories of Ice"
