Just a random thought.

Do humans bring destruction to themselves by thinking too much or thinking too little on one thing?

Because I think I'm starting to destroy my life now...

Last Samurai

"Japan was made by a handful of brave men. Warriors, willing to give their lives for what seems to have become a forgotten word: honor. "

So out of the blue, I decided to rewatch (The) Last Samurai today.

I have to admit, it is one of my favourite movies of all time. It has everything a good movie should; romance, comedy, meaningful quotes, beautiful scenery, action...

I would proudly say that I cried watching this movie, always at the last part, when Katsumoto dies. This scene is somewhat symbolic, since it displays the end of the samurai era.

It actually made me wonder, whether having samurais in Japan is a bad thing or a good thing. Sure, some samurais were bad. Some samurais were corrupted...And they stuck to traditional customs and ways, but...as displayed in the movie, they kept Japan innocent, and 'honorable'.

The bravery those warriors had, is unmatchable. Defend your father and comrades while they escape...

Charging against machine guns....

I really have to hand it to those guys...They are just...*sigh. Braver than anyone.

Anyway, I just thought that it was a very good stress reliver movie to watch, but now it's making me think...A LOT

This movie definitely should be a movie to study in schools...

Reborn.

So...I decided to revisit my blog after neglecting it for so long.

Instead of writing what have I been up to those last couple of weeks, I decided to just start fresh.

Leave behind my errors.

Leave behind my regrets.

After all, life is there to be lived right?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So anyway, I was getting back from Japanese school the other day, by train, and in my carriage, there were about 6 odd people.

1 guy and a girl sitting together. Facing opposite each other

1 guy on i-pod, sitting alone in a four sitter

4 guys chatting, sitting in a four sitter

Because I really had nothing to do, I decided to observe them.

Now I wasn't trying to stalk them or anything...But sometimes it can interesting.

The guy on the I-pod, had baggy eyes. They were pretty much grey. The white part of his eyes, were bloodshot.

The girl and the guy was talking quietly to themselves, with occasional laughs. I decided that they were 'friends'..For now anyway

The four guys. Now they were making pretty loud comments to each other. "You know Jack hooked up with Lily?" "No way? You serious?" "I saw them together at the party." They were talking about those stuff...The typical rumour stuff.

I decided to turn my attention away from them, and look outside. Which actually did make me wonder...'Why are humans so alike each other?' I mean, the guy with I-pod. I've seen those kind of people around...

The couple...I've been there, done that.

The four guys. They represent just about any teenagers. Us kids cannot survive without gossip. I wonder why?

Is it because we need to boost our self-esteem by putting someone inferior than us?

Or, because we just need something to talk about other than homework and the weather??

I'm not saying that I don't gossip about people here, because I do, we all do. It's part of nature. But I'm just questoning, what 'gear' is driving us to do this?

Opinions please =]
