It has been decades ever since i last blogged. What should I discussed about? Prelims ? No, i shouldnt mention about such an disapointing issue at this point of the time. Yes, its a wonderful night right now. The vast dark skies decorated with glimmering and dazzling stars in random positions and a near-to-round moon hanging at a corner, seeming to be admiring the beautiful night scene from her own perspective. It is indeed the right time for screaming souls to be calmed, stressful lives to be pacified. I am just mesmerised by this single moment. The soul-calming effect is coupled by a lazy, yet full of attitude tune of jazz music played by the radio (I am listening to UFM 1003 right now), which enlightens my inner spirit, teaching me what "life" is.
Anyway, back to reality. If you think that i am crazy or insane to write the above.....i doubt that i am normal too. So, I shall discuss of a recent show shown on TV which I am a fan off. Yes, if you all know me well, it is hard to guess it wrongly what i am refering to now. I will be sharing my opinion on the new Survivor Vanuatu aired every friday night 10pm on channel 5. For those who dislike survivor, please don't shun this as it may change your pespective towards the show of Survivor. Survivor has been marking into its 9th season and in this season, the show brings us to the world of cannibalism, the world where the deads are believed to have control over the living, the world that black magics and spirits are belived to exist, the world where terrific volcanoes bursting ashes and magma out of its gigantic mouth, like blood gushing out of someone's mouth (ok, i am sick). Haha. Indeed, the natives of the island indeed have rich cultures dating up to milleniums ago, practicing witchcraft, black magic, carnibalism and most importantly...sexism. (I wonder if there is such a word). This is where 18 castaways settled , the place they call home, the place they face the cruelty of reality and human relationship politics, toughest challenge of man vs nature, etc. You can call me a sadist, that i love to watch backstabbing, throat cutting and alliance forming among the castaways. But this is the really the case in our real life. People around us come in different "shape and sizes", they have different motives, different characters, different behaviours. And all of us are actually fighting in society for a better life. However, the fact states that the path to a better life is definitely not straight. There are alot of hindrances and obstructions.Physical obstructions are easy to clear, but the hardest will undeniedably come from us human. Hence, human relationship is very important in our way to success. The people around us may want to get rid of us, they may make use of us in aiding them achieveing their success, they may be a helping hand and a stepping stone for you to reach out for success. Hence, the saying "No man is an island" applies. You cannot attain success without the help of others, neither can you easily eliminate all the people around you with ulterior motives or those who are trying to eliminate you. Everyone is fighting in society. Hence Darwin's theory of Natural Selection applies too. It states that the weaker ones will be eliminated by nature, while the stronger ones survive. Yes, when i am talking about nature, i am refering to our society. Its our "nature". Its made up of different kinds of people, including us, hence the question of whether we will survive or not depends on how strong we are. This is reflected in Survivor. Some of you all may be opposing my next view. But i find it crucial for our survival in the society. Friendships. Friendships are important but always be on the lookout for any potential case of backstabbing. You never know when your friends can stab you in your back. Survivor is a game of trust. So is the real game all of us are playing in the society. Its on how far you can trust your friends and partners or alliances in the game. I am not trying to put across the idea of staying on guard against your friends but sometimes you never know. This is when trust comes important. Okay, let me put it this way, friends will never harm you, friends are for life, but you may never know for your partners or classmates or people whom you work with. Its politics. So, if you are evil enough, try stabbing your friends in their back. I am totally against this. If you are trying to gain some small benefits but using your friendships as an exchange, i find it worthless. This happens alot of times in Survivor. Well, you think i may be talking nonsense or irrelevant stuffs abour survivor. But the show reflects these facts about life. This is what i can see from the show. Be this a warning or some nonsensical joke, i dunno. But my final appeal is....WATCH SURVIVOR VANUATU AND YOU WILL UNDERSTAND. |
