Dave Fisherman's Rubbish Bin

In case you don't know, I'm a buddhist. Don't ask me if its by choice or by force. I find that very offending. (ok, in case you wanna know, I chose to be a buddhist.)

Everytime, I meet new people around, there'll be those whom wanna absorb me into their religion. They'll question my choice of religion.

"Do you know its not necessary unfilial to not follow your parent's religion."
"Are you being forced into buddhism by your parents?"
"You'll be in heaven if you follow my GOD."

Can you imagine how irritating those questions are? I had studied on my religion and I had chose to be a buddhist myself. Can't you people just respect my choice? I'm not like some people out there. Whom chose a religion without knowing what it really mean. Whom goes to certain place of worship just because its "hip" to be spotted there. Whom converted because your new crush is of that religion. I look down on you!

And people out there, if you wanna preach, do it in moderation. Well, it might be good that some people got to be in their "right religion" because of you. But, don't question my choice! You're not getting me in with such rude questions and they're not gonna score points with your GOD.

Every religion is suppose to be good to mankind. The only difference is they are based on different basis. They all teach man to be good and do good. If you practise a certain religion and you felt you're doing the right things, good for you.

For those whom had chosen your religion wisely and practising it correctly. I applaud you. For those misguided souls, work harder, wish you'll finally find your heaven one day.

[I'm not pin pointing at certain religion here, no offense meant to anyone out there. some personal thoughts with some extra time = this post. I grew up in a multi cultural society with friends from different race, religion, pay check. I'm enjoying the diversity.]

Someone pointed me to this article. I thought every singaporean should read and think about it. If you don't have the patience, read the last 8 paragraph.
Misplaced Sympathy

I think at the end of the day, a less gullible self with more thoughts of what you're doing might just solve the problem. And of course, the media plays a big part here. They have to undertake the social responsibility.

This post is in protest of singaporean media's never ending coverage of [The little girl from china, whom was killed in Pasir Panjang.]

Can you guys stop publishing all those non important stuff about that little girl and her money grabbing mother and her fat step father and her biological father. So what if her mom's pregnant again? Its her own business! So what if she died on the day her younger brother was born. Its just plain coincidence! STOP hyping up everything!!!

She's dead for a year, her murderer had been convicted and case closed! STOP all the nonsensical news coverage! Leave her attention seeking and money grabbing mom alone! More important incidents are out there to cover, go get them!

Its been a few weeks that I've been talking to you.
You're so adorable! So cheerful! So positive! Talking to you had never been boring. Your love for sweet stuff is amazing and your super wide knowledge really fascinates me!
Thanks for your frequent dosage of oldies which are ever so soothing.
Its my honour to had known you and of course talking to you.
One day we go ORNI, ok? ;)
