Chrysaora quinquecirrha in Monterey Bay Aquarium. What is the life of an animal with no brain, no blood, no senses, and no knowledge? Is ignorance really bliss? Do these animals even have a purpose? They’re essentially globs of chemical receptors and reactions.
“Tonight, I believe everyone must be very upset. If you really are, then let it out. You can cry, but you can’t sulk. You can be sad, but don’t give up. Because tomorrow when we wake up, we have to be as brave as we have been in the last four years, our hearts filled with hope, because we need to bravely take up responsibility for our country. Dear people of Taiwan, we will return one day, we won’t give up. In 2012, to support DPP, to support Tsai Ing-wen, I think it’s something to be proud of. Let’s keep our heads up and keep walking.”
-Tsai Ing-wen
「今天晚上, 我相信大家一定都很難過. 如果你心裡真的很難過, 就讓它發洩出來.
你可以哭泣, 但是不要洩氣; 你可以悲傷, 但是不要放棄.
因為明天起來, 我們要向過去的四年一樣勇敢, 心裡充滿著希望, 因為我們必須勇敢的扛起這個國家的責任.
個位親愛的台灣人民, 有一天我們會再回來, 我們不會放棄. 在2012年的這一天, 支持民進黨, 支持蔡英文, 我相信是一件驕傲的事. 我們抬起頭, 堅強勇敢的走下去.」
-蔡英文

Inefficiency in the Human Mind
The state of being efficient, as defined by the New Oxford American Dictionary, is when one is “achieving maximum productivity with minimum wasted effort or expense.”
If the subconscious mind naturally tries to be efficient, changing minds would be considered extremely inefficient due to wasted time and effort. If this is true, then changing emotions or viewpoints would be inefficient as well.
However, as everyone notices, it is near impossible to remain angry forever. Over time, the mind begins to forget all the pain that was felt. Why did the mind choose to forget? Why is the mind mending these hurtful and permanent agony? Why can’t the mind stay knowledgable for the sake of consciousness? In another sense, is forgetting even good?
I admit, over time, I will probably hate myself for attacking humanity. I chose to post my opinion so that I will never forget what my mind was thinking.
