"If
the worst thing someone could tell you is what you want to hear instead
of the truth, why isn't it the worst thing someone playing for you what
you want hear instead of opening your mind with new sounds?
Truth is that we have been brought up in this world to believe that
everything should go our way; and the machinery of marketing and
advertising lets us believe we are being pampered even though we're
being gouged of our souls, both spiritually and emotionally.
So
let's bring back a bit of truth and beauty to this world and start
accepting things that we don't want to hear, whether words or music."

Series: November 2012 Thoughts (Infringement, School and Research
"I'm
really learning a lot about infringement of another's life and space. In
order for you yourself to have the space to grow and create and just be
yourself, you often need to either shut others out, or have no one tell
you what you need to do, unless asked.
The funny thing is, as I'm starting to shed the old skin of forcing EVERYTHING down people's throats, and yes I do admit to that, I'm beginning to really understand why it was so annoying to do so. We should just all learn to step back and let things take its place unless you understand the other party enough to say something, and have earned the trust of that person." - 2nd November
"When you start uncovering a lot of life's secrets, you realise that formal education often doesn't give you what you want and what you need. A lot of things in shared knowledge nowadays are often false, and we are often not equipped with knowledge to empower ourselves.
How do we make sure that the knowledge that we know is actually accurate or useful? It's simple, by looking for evidence in daily life and experimenting yourself. Of course there are some things that can't be tested through this means, but a lot of other things like psychology, and health habits, can be tested on your own personal level.
We should just open our minds up and see what are the truly meaningful and useful things for our lives, and always check if what we're learning is actually true for us." - 3rd November
"Even for Gaffer Tape, a bugger like me will do a lot of research just to find out what's the best, which one to use etc....
Should we be doing this for everything in our lives? =X" - 5th November
