A ghost from the Past? A journey to the Future? CAUSE and RESULT

"Why am I in this situation?"
"Why do I have to end up like this?"
"Why am I doing this now?"

Sometimes, we notice people around us, there are generally 2 types.Those that mingled in the past, and those that wander into the future.

A lot of confused people always wonder, why they are in such situation at present,"Maybe because of something wrong I did before?""Maybe because my ancestors did something before?" (sorry, ancestors!!)However, throughout these year, and also maybe because of my Belief,I started to learn another way of thinking.

Personally I don't like to cry for the past or regret for what I have done, or rather, I have not done.However from time to time, I do have faith of what I am doing, (it can be wrong, it can be right, it can be something constructive, or, it can just be something rather nonsense) as I slowly learn that, whatever we are doing now,it WILL affect the future.

There are people who like to know the CAUSE from the past, (look at those tv programmes, talk shows, particularly some oriental talk shows, again, it's because of their general belief)to find peace for their present life.
As for me, past was too far away for me to imagineas well as future.
However, future looks more interesting and challenging, and exciting and yes, we're stepping into it, every minute, every second.
Therefore, I started to learn, NOW is always the CAUSEI learned not to seek for CAUSE in the past,
and I love imagining what it is like in the future,
"What's the meaning that I am doing this right now?"
"Is there a meaning that I get to know this new friend right now?"
Ya, due to my Belief, whatever we are doing or experiencing at the moment, there is always a meaning... and that's the arrangement of God.
Therefore, it's somehow interesting, when I have nothing better to do :-D
to start imagine what's God's plan to me... (of cource nobody ever succeed, but, it's an interesting journey)

Recently I have just finished one of the japanese drama, "Byakuyakou" 白夜行
frankly, I do not like this show, even though I know there're lots of fans there, cyring out loud for the LOVE between the couple.
It is a very sad and dark, and crooked and distorted kind of love story, but I'd rather say, it's not a love story at all.
The meaning of the title is,
"a walk in the midnight sun"
(from Wikipedia: The midnight sun is a phenomenon occurring in latitudes north of the Arctic Circle and south of the Antarctic Circle where the sun is continuously visible for at least 24 hours once per year. Since there are no permanent human settlements south of the Antarctic Circle, the countries and territories whose population experiences it are limited to Alaska, northern Canada, Greenland, Iceland, northern Norway, Sweden and Finland, and extremities of Russia such as Novaya Zemlya and the cities of Murmansk, Norilsk and Vorkuta. A quarter of Finland's territory lies above the Arctic Circle, and as a consequence the midnight sun can be experienced — for more and more days, the further north one goes. At Finland's northernmost point, the sun does not set for 73 days during summer.)
Ahh...!! I am not going to tell the story now (wait till I have the mood)basically, 2 of them, (the couple) ended up keep getting rid of people in their life, who knew their past. (they killed their parent for each other)
The reason for them to keep killing,
1. for each other
2. for the sufferings they have encountered in the past, from the parents.

The police who has been after them for 14 years,
said something like this...
ah... it went like that...
he was trying to tell what he has found out, and what he speculated about their killing act and how he stiched all the little bits and pieces together, to the librarian, who knows them since the couple were age 11. (ie. 14 years ago)
The librarian, being a nice and kind lady started crying for their misfortune,
she started asking, "why did they have to suffer like this, why did the adults have to do such cruel things to them, (when they were 11 years old)?"
However, the police responded like this,"it's all because both of them are morons!"
"if they have the 'intelligence' to kill their own parents, and hide it, they should have the intelligence to know that this will not get them anywhere in the future."
"if they have the 'intelligence' to subsequently kill so many other people, they should have the intelligence to know that they should surrender themselves to the police, and sort things out."

Sometimes, we do like to blame our own misfortune on others..
and it's like... the 'misfortune' (regardless it's big or small) IS the immunity for your future wrong doing!!
How many people ARE like this, and how many nations out there ARE like this?
will this get us anywhere, or it'll just turn each and everyone of us into some most distorted and ugly monsters...
ya, monster human, monster nation!
and how many of us, actually start thinking about the future, and start doing some right things now!!
I am not saying something 'good', but rather, what an individual thinks, RIGHT for the individual's future... so that, the future you will onto turn back and seek for the CAUSE now...
(but of course this will not include those psychopaths)

Oh, back to the drama, another message that I received is that, it's a battle between justice and love,serious... I really do not regard the relationship, and how much they've done for each other as an act of love.
What's the meaning of love, people will ask,
I will not be able to answer that, however, there is always a guideline somewhere,
by some smart wise man,this is something that somebody said,
LOVE is,
when you want to make yourself a better person, for that person you claim to love,
it's that simple.
We love our parents, we love our children, and we love our spouse, we love our brothers and sisters,
therefore, we keep ourselves happy and healthy,
it's that simple.
