The war

the war.....

Do the leaders think about any civilians? This was my fist question when I saw this report.
I think it is going to more and more question come up to me.
Since Britain and America support Jew to establish in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, then it also has already extended hatred. Arabic in order that fight for Jerusalem how many wars have they made with Israel. Until now, the violent conflict with each other Arabs and Jews stating it was unable to arrive at a solution. But do both governments think about any civilians and I’m very confluence? This is religion conflict or civilized conflict? I really don’t know…..

The war is merciless and the bomb can’t distinguish who you are. The bomb will turn around when if see the civilians? What can I do for them; I think only prey for them and hope the war can be stop as soon as possible.

Question 1:

I think we can’t say any people who have mentally ill or crazy just basin on their behavior. Because we are not professional psychiatrist, especially that person who we don’t know them much and this behavior also don’t respect them. For nowadays is not only 21st century but also civilized society, and our thoughts should be in many aspects no longer single way. Although, some countries still have some kind of factors so that lie in traditional and conservative society. The other countries do not to say, but we can say that homosexuality can be slowly accepted in Taiwan. In my opinion, there are not different any stereotypes that are common in America film or television in Chinese. Only different is they afraid to admit that they are the homosexual to their family, friends, and society, because fear to be isolation or group under have problematic people. In the film those homosexual is always tragedy in the end as Chinese. To capture the life is not the human’s job and should not be to do, either. Because they also are mortals, besides we are not the creator.

Question 3:

I think Taiwan is the same. I know I think this way is unfair to men, because man and woman are different in some characteristic. And we have been instilled into boy and girl what things should to do since childhood, even unwilling. Taking to holding hands walking down the street as an example, we always consider that this behavior execute on females are more acceptable than males. Actually, I don’t know either. But in my opinion, I cannot accept very much, males have the physical affection. If it is happening in socially, I can accept for it is concern about the social manners. No one wants to isolate in group and be a lonely one, because human cannot life without anyone, it means mankind is a gregarious animal.

The Negro Speaks of Rivers

The Negro Speaks of Rivers

by Langston Hughes

I've known rivers:
I've known rivers ancient as the world and older than the
flow of human blood in human veins.

My soul has grown deep like the rivers.

I bathed in the Euphrates when dawns were young.
I built my hut near the Congo and it lulled me to sleep.
I looked upon the Nile and raised the pyramids above it.
I heard the singing of the Mississippi when Abe Lincoln
went down to New Orleans, and I've seen its muddy
bosom turn all golden in the sunset.

I've known rivers:
Ancient, dusky rivers.

My soul has grown deep like the rivers.

=================================================

First time to read this poem I felt I have been love this poem, besides I’ve read it many time and suddenly realize Hughes used natural to express his idea, especially used the river. The river is always considered to be the cradle of civilization, such as China has the Yellow River, Egypt has the Nile, west Asia has the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, and Indian has Indus River. Furthermore, those ancient rivers are the older the human history, even human death its will be continuous. But I found up poet mentioned that river of the Euphrates, the Nile, and the Mississippi River; those rivers have the same common they were slaves, dark skinned property. Maybe poet with allusions the deep dusk rivers, the setting sun, sleep, and the soul want to show the image of death and, meanwhile, the ideal of deathlessness. Because generation to the next generation, just like the rivers the spirits and culture will continue on.

Another earthquake

7.6-mafnitude earthquake at dawn Sunday killed at least two people and injured dozens more in remote eastern Indonesia. A series of powerful earthquake temblor damaged collapse hotel, cutting power lines and destroying buildings. It struck 4:43 a.m. local time. It sorry about some people death and some injured I wish our government could sent the rescue team to help them as they help us in 921. I think human being are facing the natural disaster and realize one’s so lowly.

Earthquake in Afghanistan

Earthquake in Afghanistan

A 6.2-magnitude earthquake hits Afghanistan on Sunday. It struck at about 12:53 a.m. Fortunate, until now no deaths or damages were reported from the quake.
The earthquake let me remember 921 that night was so horrible and scary me. In beginning I thought someone tried to shake me up, but I was totally worse because it become stronger and stronger. Thank God we all were finding in whole house, just the house couldn’t live any more. Anyway, we were safe and living now.
