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

Blog #15


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.

the Truman show is a movie about the life of Truman a person who is play by jim carrey. in this
movie Truman's life is just a hoax by chrisof the director of a reality show that is his life fo entertainment of the people. chrisof and Truman is a philosophical idea of themselves. chrisof is god because he the one who is ruling Truman life and everything in their is their to make Truman think this is reality, it a perfect reality for Truman for it have no despair and everything is there for him. it is until too much that Truman start to think it is not and he try to escape. Truman is a symbol for true man, a man who is perfect in the face of society, as we see in the beginning of the movie that Truman is truly a perfect man he is nice to everyone he met. and he is perfect in everyway.

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.

blog #9 final



minus is a web comic about this little girl who have the power to reality warp. reality warping is when you can change the law of reality and do anything the user want base on their emotion and will.
I would recommend this comic for the simple fact that it show you being omnipotent doesn't not equal having wisdom to used it for good. in this comic you will see the main character using it to fulfill her life, like an young children will do with imagination but this time everything will happen. she is basically God in perspective of the reader. like for example in one comic strip when she was introduce to the concept of heaven heaven was pop into existence in her own universe. another one is that she can hop into painting and live out it life there. if she believe it can happen it will happen. another time is when her friend tell her " the star is beautiful, I want to see it up close" minus grap a star out of the sky in her hand and show it to her friend, as a result of this everything died  cause a star is a sun going supernova, the next script it show her rewind time back to when her friend say the sentence.

I would recommend this comic to children but not people who analyze the page per page because this is nightmare fuel.

you can read this at Kiwisbybeat.com

cant link it cause the school internet block it just copy and paste it at home.

blog #8: my experience in starbound

 

over the weekend I have been playing this game that is known as starbound. it is a sandbox mix with rpg element. it basically a game where you travel across the galaxy to different planet, finding civilization there, befriend them or plunder their house or just nuke the whole planet. you can build a house on the planet that you set as your home planet. when you set it as your home planet you have the option to terraform the planet, changing it landscape and even weather control.

what I learn is that, when you play this game at the early level with no equipment is that expect to died a lot. because the mob will kill you at anypoint. did I mention the mob and weapon is randomly generated also?. basically it mean no planet have the same monster ever. they are all randomly generated. ok so the second thing I learn is that everything you can upgrade in that game is all except axe for chopping tree, you can have laser gun, mech, diamond pickaxe but your chopping axe will always be the same.

but all these thing can still change for it is all still in beta. so sooner or later there will be new item for us to chop tree.

Blog #5 The Pigeon!
look at him.
 
During the weekend while searching through some of my recommendation on fanfiction.net. I was introduce to a one-shot crack story about harry potter. this story have thing that i have always want to know, the the book in the series fail to answer. harry was abuse as a child, he was basically the slave/servant in the family of his relative, not only physically abuse but emotional, I don't know being call freak and worthless seem a lot like affection to Dumbledore. but the most problem i have is that why did he NOT try to run away?????.

Well this fan fiction tell me about it and do it in an hilarious way. basically the primes is that harry try to run away, but Dumbledore come and bring him back not before mind wipe him and other about it. then he try to do it again. and Dumbledore, now bring him back but this time make sure he never escape. this escalate into that harry accidental magic force him to become a bird (I don know it a crack fic). and then he fly away to live somewhere else.
It'za harry :D

but Dumbledore always find him and bring him back through out all of this Dumbledore always mind wipe him, but leave out the feel of escaping. in turn this make harry become more aggressive to be free. also making him think as a pigeon the story goes into more wacky escape attempt. the story is overall good and the best part it is completed. :D

An unusual time travel Fanfic

Today i read one pecular fanfic on fanfiction.net, it was a time travel story set in the harry potter universe. unlike most of the time traveler story about harry potter this is not one of those angsty harry go back to the past to fix thing. this was humor, it show what happen when a bunch of character go back in time and try to change thing. but unknow to eachother, they didnt know the other person were a time traveler, also harry was just the normal harry he is not a time traveler. this make some really funny changes to the story. for example the first time they ever met harry, ron just come up and were like "oh i miss you so much, you look so young." and when he notice he did it wrong he have to try it again, to harry this was odd. another time, when the quidditch try-out during first year. when neville fall and broke his arm. instead of draco go and goat harry into chasing him. he forgot what to do and the other time traveler needed to remind him what to do. it quite hard for me to explain this so im ganna say it. the name of the story is Far Too Many Time Travelers by Lord Jeram on fanfiction. you should try reading it. :D

Voldemorts

blog #2

Voldemorts


look at him.

I am sorry for not posting for so long, I forgot to post and or I don't remember what to do. what I am trying to say is I like to procrastinate.

I will assume that the person who read this have seen or read the Harry Potter book series/saga. if you doesn't I will explain briefly about what it about. the harry potter book series is about this glasses wearing kid name Harry potter, who live with his abusive relative. one day this friendly giant come along and save him from the abusive relative. he told harry that he was an wizard and take  away to an magical boarding school for teaching people life him to control his power ( remind me of the x-men). it turn out that people know him as the "boy-who-live" for his achievement of defeating a dark wizard call Voldemorts (Tom Marvolo Riddle by dumbledors and he "you-know-who" to a ton of people i.e. all wizard Britain). fast forward it turn out voldemorts is a live through a dark artifact call horcrux (or phylactery). he have seven of those, all of these was all famous wizard artifact and it lied in the open for people to destroy.

I am ganna say it now if I am lord Voldemorts I will make my item that keep me from dieing close to me at all time. or make the item that I make my horcrux very hard to destroy. this is the object I will make to show you what I would have done. and what item I will make into my horcrux.

#1
The horror of pebble
which is the one harry?
 
this will probly be the most annoying horcrux you will find on this list. because the pebble will be spell with unbreakable charm and anti-summoning charm. combine with the numorous pebble around it. this will be one of the hardest to look for.

#2
coin at the bottem of the ocean
somewhere under that sand is the coin go find it.

this is like that movie with the pirate where they have these curse pirate, who goal is to find the gold coin that started their curse to lift it. it was pirate of the carribean i believe. right so throw your horcrux in the ocean peferally somewhere deep and dare the hero to go find it.

Everyone hate Dumbledore




there is many harry potter fanfiction on the web, with a total of around 600,000 thousand on fanfiction.net alone and many more on other site. the fanfiction have many flavor in them, some are bad, some are good to read, and some are just plain wrong. reading around 100 fanfiction about harry potter make me realize one thing about all of them. everyone hate Dumbledore for some odd reason. or as they call it in these sort of fanfiction Dumbledore bashing. they all have the same type of Dumbledore. that he is an manipulative old man that out to destroy harry life so then harry can sacrifice himself after he go defeat Dumbledore. some fanfiction show Dumbledore as an idiot old man, he literally don't know what harry is doing. few show Dumbledore as a good guy with flaw, he only see thing in his perspective in the "greater good" and through this he make really bad decision, he often will preach about giving second chance in these sort of fanfiction it mean infinite chance to redeem yourself. it is this sort of decision that make them losing the war in the first place.there are many more to rant about Dumbledore but this is all I'm going to say people hate Dumbledore in fanfiction ALOT.
