Perspective Friday, April 6, 2012 Last blogged @ 8:03 PM Try spotting the bubbles in the next 3 pictures (: (: (: Was going to blog a happy and lengthy post, but I am suddenly not up to it. It's been a long day, in the most ironical sense, considering how I only spent 3/4 plus hours out. But I guess in life, things can't always go my way and I need to learn that. The feeling sucks, really it does, but ultimately I guess it is something I have to learn to cope with in order to keep the people around me happy, my tear ducts dry and my heart sane. I know that definitely does not mean I care less, because if I were to do that no real lesson is being learnt. But I need to rationalise, I need to think with my head more than my heart. Anyway today was pretty interesting! (: Went to Botanic Gardens haha. Wished it wasn't raining before that though, I would have happily stomped on the grass haha. But we still managed to get many pretty shots. Need to come back here when it's sunnier <3 Oh and I got called for SMU's social sciences interview today! SENSE MY RELIEF PLEASE. - Oh and on a completely different and random note, here's one of my favourite speeches of history. It's by Ronald Reagan, titled 'Tear down this War.' I'm just going to insert one of my favourite parts here.
As I looked out a moment ago from the Reichstag, that embodiment of German unity, I noticed words crudely spray-painted upon the wall, perhaps by a young Berliner: "This wall will fall. Beliefs become reality." Yes, across Europe, this wall will fall. For it cannot withstand faith; it cannot withstand truth. The wall cannot withstand freedom. And I would like, before I close, to say one word. I have read, and I have been questioned since I've been here about certain demonstrations against my coming. And I would like to say just one thing, and to those who demonstrate so. I wonder if they have ever asked themselves that if they should have the kind of government they apparently seek, no one would ever be able to do what they're doing again. Labels: Musings |
