have u ever wonder...

1) if u write down ur way of life in quotes, enforce it to your newborn child, brainwashing ur child that whatever inside is the truth and nothing but the truth, expects ur child to strictly adhere to practices that are written inside, they may truly believe thats how life works if you are convincing enough..

and b4 you know, u have created a new tradition/culture if you child decided to pass it down to the next and next generation with ever increasing convincing reasons of your way of life..

note: u may try to bury it in some place, when ppl generations later dig it out, they may go "WOW! so that is our tradition"

2) multi-racialism work so well in sg, what we onli acheive racial harmony among ourselves. a grp of huge numbers of foreigners (especially those that don't belong to the chinese, malay, indians, or westerners) are sometimes treated like aliens where their living quarters are a treat. someone forgot to tell them, the category is others, not westerners. or that the infrastructure that we are using might be the work of these "aliens" which "threaten" your neighborhood.

or that, you might actually be more of a safety threat by stirring up emotions for protecting the cost of your ?

if they really wanna threaten you they can simply forgot to add a certain foundation pillar to the one you are using right now.

we are a mutli-racial country. we have racial harmony. do we?

3) technology may solve problems, but at times solving one problem may lead to 10 other more complex problems because you gain additional knowledge? or that by improving life, technology also makes you more lazy at times?

is that why ignorance is bliss?

im not trying to flame anyone, or criticizing anyone. jus some random thoughts after seeing wats happening. i admit i am guilty of the last 2 pts at times. but the first pt is something which i really thought is interesting.

whatever proof we have of our religion or culture or tradition, is something that is being passed down, in written form or in fact sometimes through word of mouth? when does humans know how to write or speak? jus because they do a certain set of practices or some journey with additional ability to write and speak, they become our religion/tradition/culture?

ignorance is bliss, if i choose to ignore i wun have these questions.
