Logical to become a Vegetable

Logical Song


He talked about what he likes to study.
I talked about what’s good to study.
He talked about his dream.
I talked about the living.
He talked about the way to explore.
I talked about the way to survive.
He talked about his life.
I talked about the life in a society.
He talked about individuality.
I talked about the conformity.



What a sensible chat and the interweaving background music is “The Logical Song” – a song that I really didn’t like and understand in the 80s, 90s, 00s but I suddenly love the song in this decade, strange though. 

As a person, I really hope my kids have dreams and work toward their dreams.  And indeed how fascinated it is to have a dream.  As a mother, I’d rather hope they could be vulnerable in the society but I’ve overlooked the cruelty that the society would probably hurt them first. 

Is the Logical Song really logical?  Can we all turn ourselves into Peter Pan? When you celebrate your adulthood, you are actually experiencing a gradual loss of innocence and happiness we experienced in childhood.  Interestingly it is the same world, where you saw it as a magical place and where you are supposed to conquer, comes to tame you, condition you, if not ostracize, ridicule and crucify you.  

When Peter Pan signs up to become one of the masses, following the dogma, he is saved and becomes a vegetable.  Congratulations.

Logical Song

Lovers in the Wind


I tend to get lost in the midst of songs, movies and books and indulged in sort of relevance of reflex images.  When I was discussing with my kid on the way to school, I thought of "Logical Song".  When I was listening to "Logical Song" during the way to the library, I thought of "Lord of the Flies".  When I turn to read "Lord of the Flies" in the library, I would rather listen to U2.  Before I found "Shadow and Tall Trees", I kept on listening to "Lovers in the Wind" though both songs are beautiful.

食鼻屎身體好 Benefits of Booger-Eating


小時候乘渡輪由灣仔到九龍,驚見一名年青西裝友神態自若地食鼻屎,狀甚享受;現在數十年後想起仍覺嘔心﹗翌日回到學校,跟同學仔研究,一致認為那名西裝友係神經佬。原來實情係食鼻屎對身體有益處,是一項既天然又健康的行為;當年實在無知,不應藐視那有為青年....

食鼻屎
星島日報 – 201214日星期三上午6:30
 (綜合報道)(星島日報報道)話說小孩子食鼻屎是相當普遍的情況,不過在絕大多數文化裏,吃鼻屎都被視為不衞生、污糟、核突、無教養的行為。但食鼻屎其實有沒有好處呢?
  奧地利肺科專家Friedrich Bischinger說,食鼻屎的人是快樂的人,因為他們身心和諧統一!Bischinger說食鼻屎是令人身體健康其中一種好方法!Bischinger一向鼓勵大家食鼻屎,他說:「在醫學上說,食鼻屎完全有道理,是種很合乎自然之道的行為,當鼻屎落到我們的腸時,鼻屎就是天然藥物,因為鼻屎有天然的抗體和防腐劑。」
  在二○○七年發表的學術文章《Benefits of Booger-Eating》(即是《食鼻屎的益處》)中,Jane Stephenson將鼻屎和疫苗相提並論,她說在鼻涕中的細菌,當鼻涕乾了成鼻屎後,細菌就都已死或已很弱,當人吃了鼻屎落肚,這些細菌就會幫助人體免疫系統製造抗體,對抗疾病或感染。她說食入的鼻屎會刺激B-lymphocyte,從而製造出抗體。
  食的鼻屎愈多,製造出的抗體會愈多。
  這是否表示我們現在就開始要食鼻屎呢?不。因為讚揚食鼻屎有益的專家/學者只佔很少數。待全球超過一半專家/學者說食鼻屎有益時,我們才開始考慮能否改變我們對食鼻屎的厭惡觀感,也未遲呀。

Mary did you know


In today’s mass, we sang a beautiful Christmas song, “Mary did you know ?” The version I like the best is by Clay Aiken - it is simply beautiful and worth listening to all year round.

Undoubtedly, Jesus is great, but one thing is certain: even if her baby boy couldn't make the blind see, make the deaf hear, make the dead live again, make the lame leap, make the dumb speak, Mary would have still loved him.  It wouldn’t make a difference, him being divine or mortal.

Mary did you know by Clay Aiken


Mary, did you know
That your baby boy will one day walk on water?
Did you know
That your baby boy will save our sons and daughters?
Did you know
That your baby boy has come to make you new?
This child that you've delivered
Will soon deliver you

Mary, did you know
That your baby boy will give sight to a blind man?
Did you know
That your baby boy will calm a storm with His hand?
Did you know
That your baby boy has walked where angels trod?
And when you kiss your little boy
You've kissed the face of God

Mary, did you know?
The blind will see
The deaf will hear
And the dead will live again
The lame will leap
The dumb will speak
The praises of the Lamb

Mary, did you know
That your baby boy is Lord of all creation?
Did you know
That your baby boy will one day rules the nations?
Did you know
That your baby boy is heaven's perfect Lamb?
This sleeping child you're holding
Is the Great I Am.
