[Reflection] The Giver - what make us human


  It's a tiring Friday full of Spanish. Though I spent quite a lot of time on it, it somehow makes less but also more sense when digging into it. The more I know, the more I'm lost because there are so much more to be discovered. Probably it is like this when digging deeper into emotions or even realities, no matter for good or for worse.

  Movie "The Giver" describes an "ideal" world where difference, hatred, racism, pain, grief, greed, death, and all the other negative things, don't exist. While we get rid of them, other positive things like uniqueness, joy, courage, mercifulness, curiosity, compassion, love are gone as well.

The bright side of being short

  When I was little, I often worried about my height. It just seemed like the number don't change much over years. At the age when I tended to lower my sense of existence, my height always get in the way. I have to be in the first row in order to be seen. Also, need to keep an eye on my weight cause "short and fat" somehow appears to be worse than "tall and fat."

  Yet, now I'm really glad that I'm short. There are a lot of examples. Some of them actually depend on how you see things or how you change disadvantages into advantages. Or like I said, being lazy might makes you smarter! Cause you figure out ways to be lazy!
