Confusing ramblings
Went to watch the Land of the Dead today with Xinyi and Andy. It's really a gruesome show.......but I feel it's better than the prequel (which is the Dawn of the Dead I think). The idea behind the show to me is quite philosophical. To me: it seems as if the writer is trying to explore the idea of what does it mean to be a human. What really defines a human being? When a zombie can walk, can communicate, can mimic human emotions and rational thinking.....does it make it human? Some parts of the show really portrayed zombies as "victims" even though they were eating humans (in a disgusting way). But what makes the zombies so terrible is that no matter how real they seem, how well they mimic human life.......they are still not human....simply dead bodies inhabitated by viruses.
Today on the bus, I overheard two girls discussing the meaning of life. One girl thinks that we were placed on Earth for a purpose; to experience and learn certain lessons and to touch people's lives. Another girl thinks that life simply happens and there's no purpose to it. Her friend then argued it is better to live life with a purpose than without. From their conversation, it really got me thinking. I can give an answer to that question and the answer is found in the Bible. I remembered Xiumin giving me a book called “The Purpose-Driven Life". There's just so much meaning and purpose in our lives if we experience it together with God. It's almost like wearing glasses.....everything will become much clearer.
During cell group, we were discussing about evolution vs creationism....something sparked off by the sermon given by a professor in our church last sunday. There's a very useful website to refer to: http://www.answersingenesis.org/home/area/qa.asp It talks about questions in creation that people might have. I think it's an interesting website to visit for anyone interested in knowing more about creationism and evolution.
If you are still reading this post by now, you must be thinking in your heart that this is a confusing post. And you are right...sorry lah I'm very tired liaoz and cannot think properly. So many things happen on a single Friday (if I start recounting what happen from 545am until now....it'll take me another hour). My brain is failing me liaoz.
I'll tell you next time lah.....ok.
