understand your soulz

Human beings, homo sapiens, men and women, whatever you called this civilization. Hmm, we might not even be civilized. We are the race that kill the earth and destroy the surroundings. Eliminating animal habitats, deforestation, breaking the ozone, contributing to dumping of waste that create global warming.  The most fantastic part is that we kill one another. WAR . In fact, we created weapons not to defend against animal attacks but to make sure that countries don't evade each other. If there is no country, no power struggle, there is no need for weapons. Maybe a tiny part to deter criminals. But human society has created all the unnecessary issues. Capitalism. Power struggle. Country boundaries. Letting a single ruler or party dictates your life. 

Could this be a possibility? Working from home or anywhere will be the defacto mode for all employment. Human interaction becomes lesser, going out for meetings or lunches becomes rare, web meetings becomes more packed, etc.  Is productivity better? Let's not dwell into work.  Will WFH helps Earth? Helps in pollution? Helps in less food wastage? Helps in lesser crimes?  There is so many what ifs but did we really put thoughts into matters that impact the humans.   What if the vaccination is only effective for covid19? What if it is not? What if pandemic is here to stay? How prepared are we? Is this a sign of something more dangerous to come? Did we really tried to save our planet or is it too late? What if we can travel back? What if the pandemic is really to clear the human race for sustainable living of the greater good? And everything starts from WFH. 

Dogs, Cats, Guinea Pigs, Hamsters, Parrots, etc are considered as 'pets'. When these 'pets' are cooked and eaten, most of us will think that it is cruel. Really?! If you are a meat eater, you should 'see' them as meat. It is always about perspective. In most of our eyes, because we are born and bred with these so-called 'pets', we treated them like 'almost human' or our companion. What about other countries or races that kept tigers, snakes, pigs, cows, goats and chickens as 'pets' and you ate those meats like daily food.... Aren't we equally cruel?  Ironic?! As long as you are an animal / meat eater, I don't think you have any right to talk about animal cruelty. Don't cows, chickens, pigs, goats, fishes, prawns, crabs, feel THE PAIN? We domestically caged, netted, boxed them in inhuman spaces and large quantities to fulfill our stomach. Do we care about these animals' feelings?  With the 7 billion population growing at al...

Human beings created rules, we follow these rules. We bend those rules to improve them.  Human beings derived theories, most of us follow those theories. Very few tried to crack or rebutt them.  Human beings created religions, we believe religions can make us a better person. How many tried to question the teachings? Did the teachings change as society evolves? Did we re-write the teachings? Human beings created the most powerful weapon -> Laws to keep ourselves in place. Laws can be simply implemented if you can gather the majority.  Human beings are now trying to play GOD. We are trying to outlive our given life span, we are trying to 'preserve' our memories, we are working to dominate the Earth and Universe.  Humans are never really part of the ecosystem, whether in food chain or harmony or universe. We follow the simple logic: Rules are meant to be broken. We create CHAOS. We try to 'break' everything rules, every animal kingdom, every country, every land....

I used to roam freely in the small jungle of Punggol. I used to be able to find food easily. I have a lot of friends in that jungle. I had a home and was sure that my family would be safe. I found my wife in this jungle, we built a family. With the passing of time, the jungle was slowly reduced to nothing. Excavators, bull-dozers, cranes started appearing and tore down my homeland. My home destroyed, my friends lost, no food and shelter to take on for my family.  We had to wonder around the streets of Punggol to forage for food. We had to move from place to place to sleep like a nomad. We are just trying to survive but those homo sapiens thought that we are pose a threat and trying to attack them but in fact, they invaded my territory and eliminate most of my species.  Show some empathy, Humans! sign off: Wild Boar Lim

Little did I realised that my first blog post was on 9 Sep 2005. When I first decided on this blog is to explore the meaning of soul, mind & life, anything other than work, but I got so distracted and tied up for the past 10 years in work that got me nowhere.  Covid-19 really sets me thinking and recollect my initial intention of exploring the soul: - What is life? - What is the purpose of life? - What purpose do we serve in this life?  - Is there a soul within us?  - How is life created?  - Is there life after death?  - Is there a calling? - Are we 'killing' Mother Nature?  - Is Covid-19 part of Mother Nature's punishment?  Reflecting upon Year 2020, I really enjoyed it. I had at least pick up my habit of reading back (after years of 'dumping it' since my school days), gone back to meditation for clarity, continue my 'no meat' diet and hopefully, I am back to managing this blog regularly.  I have plans for an early retirement (though I am not...
