江山依旧岁齐天 人事长绕不入眠 赤兔城门顿时烈 一载几十就化灭 后孺何日问何寻 不知所为争青云 -- 23/04/12 Commentary

Written on April 23, 2012, while I was reminiscing all the events back in Singapore Polytechnic that led to my resignation in 2010. A per-son's life is just a few decades and as Zhuang Zi said, is like a horse speeding past a gate - there is no meaning in the grand scheme of things. Yet, all these fighting and politicking has kept us awake and bothered. When I read history today and looking at the blood shed by named and un-named warriors of the past, be it Julius Caesar or Genghis Khan, I cannot help but wonder why? Is it really worth it? How much land one needs to be buried with? Then I look again, what will the future say about us?
