The 2009 film remake of the ever so popular television series "Star Trek" has many similarity to buddahism pilosophy. it quote have more meaning to it then most people give it for.
"Which path will you choose?"
this can be connect to the buddahism philosophy of path that we take which is the eight path of lightenment. or th eight fold path which will help us become a better person as we take our ourney.
"Put aside logic, and do what feels right"
this quote remind me the philosophy of the matrix, of how morpheus tell eo to put as side his logic and do what is that he feelright for the world they are in are ot real. "A friendship that you both needed"
This quote could go with Aristotle's theory as a friend being another self. People need friendships, but there are also friendship that is true companion in life. this person is th person who will alway be there with you. h is basically another person of you weather it personality or hobby that he have with you.
"You are fully capable of deciding your own destiny"
this remind me that we do not live in a world full of fate ad god. it is a world that we as a person can shape it to our image if we put our mind and body to it. it is this that make us what we are at th en of the day. we can accomplish nearly anythig if we try.
"Whatever remains must be the truth."
this can be interrprets as that we can question verything around us assume that they are all wrong. by questioning these you can dwindle it down to which one is the truth of it.

Asklepios and the philosophy of house
learn more about manga? <----click
contrary to belief of most of the people I know I actually do read manga that is not in my scopes of intrest. one of such example is Asklepios. this manga is about an doctor in a time where they see the art of surgery as the art of the devil. as the story goes he goes around and helping people even though they refuse it, because as I quote "the wickedness of the devil". he do this because he know he is helping the patience, a patience who have bump on his body and believe to be curse by a devil. but it was just an infection when diagnose by the doctor.
one of my favorite part of this manga is when he help this person who have always been a thorn in his back since the beginning. even though the person refuse it, the doctor fix him up for he believe even if he hate the person he deserve to live.
this manga tied to the philosophy of medical paternalism for the doctor believe that the patience is better to be treated and cure then left to died by following their wishes and not be cure. another, is an example of the Hippocratic oaths "I will prescribe regimens for the good of my patients according to my ability and my judgement and never to harm to anyone". this was shown true when he heal his long time enemy instead of lefting him to died.
atlas asklepios is a cancel manga we can never see the ending but enjoy what it could have been.

Matrix: the awakening or how neo stop thinking and transcence into a cybergod
the matrix is a movie about a bunch of human regenade fight again the machine that have put most of humanity into a illusion of life. the movie can be compare to the symbolism of buddahism and his road to enlightenment. the meaning of Buddha is the "enlighten one" it show Buddha journey from a prince to a person who understand the suffering and pleasure of the world. and break free from this illusion. the matrix we have Morpheus and neo both from the same world, except one is enlighten but the other is still "sleeping". this can be compare to the Buddha when he was young and when he met the prophet that have experience the suffering of the world. neo was just that guy he was normal in the world he live in never knowing it real or not, and here come morpheus who just come and tell him the world he live in wasnt real.
the journey to transcendence for Neo is also comparable to buddha while he was still looking for englightment, there was many obstacle. for one he didnt think he was the one, as you can see how he act in the movie. people have try to hint him on the path to enlightment. it is until near death, like buddha when he was starving, did he finally reach transcendent hood of cyber god, or enlightenment if you will. he finally understand that the world around him isnt really thus broke the chain of order that have bound him from the beginning of the movie untill now. he was trully free. FREEDOM. you can see it when he stop the bullet and destroy agent smith and also you know fly at the near end of the movie.
Neo birth is also almost like buddha birth, what i mean is that both of them have one unique birth. for buddha he was born when a elephant tusk touch his mother side, he emerge from a lily pad as a baby, he was able to walk when he first born. for neo he was born well we didnt know but i assume he is born from the tube that he was in, that one with the wire that connected to him. and the day he take the red pill is the day he was trully born and welcome to the world of the living. this conclude my essay on the similarity of buddha and the matrix

in groundhog day the movie, the main character a weather man is stuck in a time loop reliving the day of the annual groundhog day over and over again. at first he was like thinking everyone was crazy, then it was great for him for he can do thing with no consequences then it started to become his nightmare. he started to try everything to stop it but he don't know how. in this way it does show the five states of grief. first come denial then anger follow by bargaining, with a slice of despaired to mix it up and to finish it up it was accepting of his fate.
at first in the movie he started to wake up and he never believe it was true and he thought everyone was just screwing with him, not believing what is happening he just go on with his days this represent the state of denial.
after a while he try to make it stop and he started to act aggressively even yelling at a person who say good morning to him. he insulted the annual groundhog day represent anger.
after his anger impulse. he started to calm down and started to help alots of people. including an old man that is going to died on the groundhog day. this show that he is bargaining in hope that if he do good then something will change on this day. Bargaining.
In the near end of the movie we started to see Phil the main character started to go through his day with no emotion at all. he been doing this for so long untold many repeat that he specialize in many subject. he look like he is lost his will to live, he even try to kill himself over and over again, jumping down a church hit by bus etc. this represent depression.
the last stage is acceptance. he accept his day he goes on and help a lot of people, old lady car tire is broken he fix it. an old man is dieing he try to help him through the day. a couple who is having a wedding he pick the wedding for them. he did many thing that make him a better person then before.

blog 14 imperfect perfection.
In the philosophy of the world of the movie Truman show. play by jim carrey. there is a philosophy sentence said by one of the character christof: "We accept the reality of the world with which we are presented, it's as simple as that.". this statement stay true in the naruto crack-fic of imperfect perfection. the character in the story have met a girl who is not from their world who is too perfect to say the least. heck perfect is an understatement to describe the beauty and intelligent this girl possess. yes everyone this character is a Mary Sues.
lets me explain to you all what is a marry sues is. mary sues is a self-insert character base on the fanfiction author in real life. or It just an original character make by the author. this character will often have god moding. which is by the way is just what it name is like, the character can do ANYTHING. solve any problem with ease. to describe the picture here is a snippet from another fanfic on the site about mary sues:
"The new girl stepped forward to be sorted and every male in the room felt his chin hit the floor. Many fainted. She was the most beautiful, gorgeous, stunning, attractive (reaches for thesaurus), striking, lovely, wondrous creature they had ever seen. She had long curly/perfectly straight tresses the color of sun-kissed honey/raven black/burnished copper with highlights of flame/glossy golden sunlight/deep chocolate mahogany, and her eyes were like sapphires/emeralds/rubies/amethysts or as black as the blackest night. She was not too tall or too short nor too skinny nor too heavy. She was perfectly proportioned and toned. She had a fabulous tan. She smiled shyly at the assembled students and they were momentarily blinded by her dazzling straight white teeth." ~ from Harry Potter and the Overdone Plot Devices.
as you can see the character is not natural it is a main character to the max with unbelievable luck and skill. Beauty is included in that packet also.
why in the story the character just pop up in the story out of now where all of a sudden every major character in the story started to like her, like she was the most important thing in the world, they do not question this or talk about how strange this is. it contradict other people perception of them. this affect most of the major character except the main character which is the title all about naruto. he feel unsafe near her, like she shouldn't exist in this world. which is trues she is a self inserted character. this story is about the author poking fun at all of the mary sues fic on the site. that keep spawning every day. it actually is a good read if you know what it is about.

The
expulsion from the Garden of Eden
The
painting above is showing Adam and Eve being expelled from the Garden of Eden
for defying god word and eating the apple of knowledge. In the story it is
shown that the snake or man-snake-thing is tempting eve to eat the apple. If
you was to know this story, you might say the snake is evil or the angel is
good and that Adam and eve was expulse from the garden because they was to
naïve to not follow god word.
But
to an outsider perspective of the painting it goes the opposite. In the
painting it is seem that the snake man is greeting Adam and eve. You can see
the genuine friendliness he shows them, and the facial expression of
friendliness from them to him, they seem to not be afraid of this half-man
snake, but greet him. The other side of the picture shows an angel pointing a
sword at another human, forcing them to walk away. They seem to be terrified of
this and trying to get away as you can see. This is what you see when you look
at the painting with no knowledge of what it about be for hand.
Nietzsche
philosophy on good and evil is that there is no such thing it only base on
person to person. In the painting as you can see you can infer from it from
many direction from the people who know what the painting about and the one for
who does know what it about. If you were to know the story, you would know that
the snake is bad because, he trick eve to eat the apple, and thus god banish
them out of the garden. But there is no apple in the painting thus we cans
assume that the snake is just greeting them as a friendly person. The angel is
guiding them out. But base on another view we can see that the snake is
greeting them in a friendly way while the angel is forcing them to go away with
a dagger. As you can see in there is many point of view you can look at this
from, the painting show there is no such thing as good and evil it depend on
the person who was looking at it and their knowledge of it.

blog #11 first anime review
over the weekend beside talking about Aquaman. I decided to finish of my anime that I didn't finish before. mushi-shi.
anime is a Japanese animation that is popular in japan, and growing in popularity in other part of the world over the past year. anime is different from cartoon because of their story, art and theme they have. unlike most of most western animation anime target a wider audient from children to adult. they also have rating for teen only up to adult only. actually here a link to learn more.
Mushi-shi...ha let me tell you about it.
this anime unlike most doesn't have a chronology which said it does not follow a specific ark or story line. so you can literally watch any episode and quickly jump into it cause the main character will explain it to you.
Mushi-shi follow ginko the main character a mushi-master. a person who can see mushi, think of them as the spirit of the world existing in meta physical form, basically an eldritch abomination. the show basically just him going around Edo-japan helping people with problem with mushi. like in one episode a ment have a dream that come true whenever he sleep this was cause by a mushi. another is an ink block that kill people. what I love most about this anime is the music the episode have their own soundtrack that make them original and the animation is not half bad.
