JC thoughts... about life... *wow*

Found a few treasured thoughts that I had in JC... just sharing these...
I didn't know I thought so much in the past
Wow!!

Life

About birth…
It had long been said that nothing would be more fantastical than the birth of a child. A puzzle that had bewildered me still had been whether life begins at birth or before birth. I guess this is something quite like the "egg or chicken" question? I know it might sound mystical to some extent… but since the element of "fate" might actually be experienced in life… even before birth (maybe?)

About death…
"The green mile" might be longer for some to finish… but death is deemed as unavoidable in the course of life. I do believe that the quest for longevity would be answered eventually by science and technology, but obsession with this quest might eventually lead to human's ultimate discourse… a mistake that would live in the annals of the human race.

About cloning…
Recent push into cloning research had brought the world to the brink of creating cloned humans and reviving extinct species.
The pursuit of fame and glory might have actually blinded the researchers who quest for the honour of being the first to clone the human race. What's the point of cloning? Is it merely for the sake of the rich and powerful to continue their genetic codes in a pseudo identical entity?
I believe that there might eventually be a point in time when human cloning would be possible… the subsequent effects would be disastrous. For instance, the creation of a superior racial genetic code could be in the pipeline, and tyrannical governments for the sake of ethnic cleansing might exploit the cloning techniques. These repercussions are truly possible… and indeed probable.

About abortions…
Killing of a life… however demeaning the life might be… is still sinful.
To make innocent unborn souls suffer and pay for the mistakes of their frivolous or irresponsible parents… is unacceptable. Abortions might only be tolerated under the scenarios of pregnancy due to unfortunate events (such as rape), or in the impossibility of raising another child in an over-bloated family.
____________________________________________________
About dreams…
"Dare to dream… will to live" had been one of the guiding beacons of my life.
It is a tragedy that children grow up in some societies learning that the realisation of their dreams is a mere impossibility.
Children in many war-torn and under-developed countries had to forgo their dreams for the sake of scraping a living in their homeland… look at the children in Ethiopia in the 1990s… what do they ever "dream" of? "The possibility of living"? This "dream" is not a real dream… it is a mere entitlement of life. It is appalling to discover that as most of us in the developed world live in comfort and grow up to think of greater things in life… a greater part of our peers in other lands are losing hope and never able to realise their "dream".
____________________________________________________
About time…
How often is it that one stares blankly into space and only realises that much time had passed upon his regaining of consciousness? Often… I presume.
An "invention" (in 2002) at Warwick University was a formula to calculate the value of one's time. The economic concepts such as "opportunity cost" and "laws of diminishing returns" had been applied by some academics to give value to time. But I often wonder what is the true value of time… it might actually be worth more to people in need… it might be worth more to people with agendas to fulfil. I believe that valuation of time might not be possible in reality.
The desire of man to travel to the future or the past… or even create a condition of time freeze had been unrealised. Should one of the three "desires" be fulfilled, I hypothetically believe there would be cataclysmic repercussions.

About love…
Are humans born with a heart to love or to hate? The ultimate plot in a tragedy story would be when "love" turns into "hate". Truthfully, this tragedy might actually be happening in the real world.
The presence and actions of a loved one can be of miraculous impact. Have you watched films or dramas where a patient in coma wakes upon listening to a familiar and beloved tune… or upon the persistent accompaniment of his loved one by his bed? I truly believe that "love" is miraculous!
The most sacred love would be one of giving and not desiring of possession…
