I feel like screaming at the top of my voice. How I wish I could just turn a blind eye at all things around me and stop thinking for a while. So many things that I've seen are so frustrating, yet things aren't changing for the better.
The tired eyes protesting with intent to stage a revolt, yet it's not something that can be done by one person alone. I've so much to say, but don't know where to start from.

The Truth
Giambattista Vico: "Truth itself is constructed."
Avicenna: "The truth of a thing is the property of the being of each thing which has been established in it."
Aristotle: “To say of what is that it is not, or of what is not that it is, is false, while to say of what is that it is, and of what is not that it is not, is true”
Gandhi: "Truth is God."
Alfred North Whitehead: "There are no whole truths; all truths are half-truths. It is trying to treat them as whole truths that play the devil".
The truth in itself, can never be defined because it is not absolute. What we can only do is to find an approximation to the truth and continue searching for new evidence in a hope to even more accurately estimate the truth.
However, further investigation may lead to new evidence that goes in a totally different direction to the previous approximation of the truth, and things will get really frustrating. It really feel like shit when the scale is imbalanced as you totally have no idea which side is the truth now.

Sharing
Sharing without expecting something is return is something unachievable.
When people share with their loved ones, they expect to gain more love from their loved ones.
When people share with friends, they may expect their friends to share something with them in return.
When people share with strangers, for example in a kind act of donation, they want to generate good karma, and expect something in return in the future.
Therefore, doesn't this means that everyone shares with a motive? Who are the ones who really cared about you?

observant thinker
A person who don't observe and don't think is uncaring.
A person who observes but don't think is not learning.
A person who don't observe but think is learning the wrong thing.
An observant thinker is a nut-case.

nullification of emptiness
After weeks of inactivity, the time has finally come to enter the next realm of nothingness.
This week seems busy yet it feels I've done nothing apart from eating more than I should have.
Now, I'm fatigue thanks to the running I've done in the hot sun which even I don't know the result due to some useless equipment malfunctioning. Most probably, it should be in the region between 10:50 to 11:20mins.
Now, another week of canteen break awaits, apart from 2 days of "combat rations". It's really something to look forward to, isn't it?
