What A Laugh

Ah...the folly of men (yup...emphasis on the male specie here although women too can be an enigma at times). Here we are, the human race, poised at the crossroad of its existence...yet still worried and continuing to play the 'money' and 'political' games.

On the global front...the term 'world economic downturn' seems to be the recent catch phrase on everyone lips. Every nation and almost every society is so embroiled in its own quest for money.

And then there is, closer to home..'Perak'.. where grown educated men have made a mockery of democracy and behaving like little school kids squabbling over the most trivial of things in the school yard with theirs zippers down and snort dribbling down from their noses.

Its so mind boggling that I don't know whether to cry or laugh at the folly of men.

Since April 28/29 over 6,000 people are now infected by H1N1 with the first reported case in Malaysia coming today. Virologists anticipate the virus to infect one-third of the world's population or roughly 2 billion. If fatalities are between 5% and 10%, that would translated to 200million dead. Very interesting indeed...as I wonder if we will still be clamoring over money and power if that happens.

Exactly a decade ago in 1999, Malaysia was struck be a deadly virus named Nipah virus. It came from flying foxes...transmitted to pigs...and finally became a deadly human infection that claimed over 100 lives. The current H1N1...is really going to be a bang when the second and third wave hits later this year.

There is also the real threat of global warming. Experts have gathered to ponder the future of our precious corals with a prediction that they won't last this century. Duh....don't need a bunch of experts to tell me the obvious. Hello?...the glaciers and large Antarctic ice sheets are rapidly melting away...something which had not happened over the last 10,000 years or the present Holocene period.

So to all out there, enjoy life to its fullest and live as best as you can. Let not the worry of today get to you...just live for the moment and love all things...because...afterall...doesn't love conquer all.

To None I Wish Ill But To All I Wish Peace and Love.
