I just watch a reaction video of elders to a viral music video that's basically made up of imitation of chicken sound. When asked why do they think these MVs are such a success, a few of them responded "because people hardly give any thoughts to things anymore. Lazy brain. Anything that's pleasing and enjoyable comes at them, they are going to take it." I have to agree with them. Honestly, I am a generation of people to take things without giving much thoughts. The rules are simple: I like it, I take it! As I reflect, oh God, isn't that how Adam and Eve fell into the deceiving trap of Satan? So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate, and she also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate.  Genesis 3:6 I guess I am guilty of being lazy-brained lately.  I haven't gave much thought on the things I do la...

I love watching educational channels. I subscribed to this channel called Veritasium, where the maker of the channel constantly challenges my intellect and reasons. Recently, Veritasium's video has challenged me to think about my faith. This video did an experiment on the social phenomena called "Loss Aversion". A bet was proposed to subjects where the odds are favourable to them as much as twice the reward for a 50% chance of losing. It's interesting to note that many people would pass up the bet. People generally value loss at about 1.5 to 2.5 times than of gain. Interesting. While I presume all human beings are logical, we are not. People are also influenced by their emotion, much like the lady who refused to take the bet at all cost for her feeling that her $10 is worth far more than the $20 offered. ~~~ I guess that's how we treat our spiritual life (or life as a whole) as well. Most of the time when people do not believe in the saving gr...

"Fool", An adequate description, For me who trades glory for shame; Innocence for guilt; Power for sickness; Freedom for slavery. O a fool I am! Crowned to be a son of God, But I traded the birth right for a stew, And my crown for manure. I abandoned my inheritance, To whore after destruction. O what a fool I am! To desire the lust of man, Over the glory of the Lord. O Lord my God, You are awesome, How could I trade Your glory for my shame? Forgive me a fool, By Your mercy and Your grace!
