Black & White"There's nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so." -William Shakespeare
The first quote that also appeared in the very first FFvXIII trailer.
Also the first quote from a genius and famous figure like Shakespeare that I would rather argue against.
Looking at this quote, I have these crossing my mind: MAybe Shakespeare thought that the entire world and what contained within it would be at a neutral basis, that there's nothing wrong or great about anything. As human's arrived, they began judging things as either good or bad. From the religious terms, things are either angelic or satanic. From there flourishes the human law; the term 'humanity' pops out, and our ancestors had long ago decided what humans can do and cannot do. But our surrounding changes as time flows. Many things that we perceived as bad and once was a taboo, had now becoming more accepted in society.
Well, I really have no idea what had happened in England when he lived and how the society had changed; what he would have observed that inspired him to create such an "idealistic" quote of his.
But I would have agreed with him. Our society, for instance, had this gender-blending that is becoming more and more obvious. I'll take fashion as a example. If decades ago women were to wear skirts and blouses and men wearing formal shirts with blazers and tuxedos (imagine charlie chaplin and who ever 1960-an woman you could come up with.lol), then what can you see today in a in your own classroom or anywhere? t-shirts and jeans, wore by both gender. Now if I'd say a female in the 1960's suited herself with t-shirts and jeans, it would look quite a bit awkward. Or in other words, people would have say she's a bad girl. Today these "rules" have changed and more and more girls I saw today has this same fashion pattern: jeans at the bottom and a long/short sleeve covering the top. An attire like this during your mommy's 'teenage' time would only be a signal for your daddy to slap your face (means it's bad).
Going back to the quote before, yeahh, the way people think changes the way things are perceived as good or bad. And thus the quote would be of a logical phrase that people would generally accept.
But how if we put religion into account. Does things can go back and forth between good and bad?
See, when people perceive things using their own logical and rational mind as the fundamentals of the judgment, it is hard to classify whether some things are good or bad. People define these terms based on their own judgment, thus has led the "human law" to exist.
Religion, on the other side, defies that good and bad are relative terms. Religion teaches what is absolutely good and vice versa, which then eliminates all these "human laws".
Perhaps Shakespeare didn't learn much from Christianity. A person with a magnificent mind, but how ironic, it's one-sided.
People who read this might also ask about how religion plays a significant role in our lives.
People who have their own set of beliefs or religion doesn't mean he/she is religious.
Islam by itself isn't a noun, but a verb. Even if we're Muslims by name, that doesn't make us a follower of Islam.
Another piece of mind, I think I should tweak this quote so that it can be quite, well, universal.

Quite true huhh? Using facebook as a medium of networking is good, but to proudly display our beautiful, macho pictures so people would recognize us based on that, is not good at all.
Ohh, and I like
repel
Ohh, a red. aint i say so.
Lets say you are stressed, and it bugs you and disturbs you a lot that you literally wanted to run away from anything that gives you tht headache. What would you do about it? Some people might take some break and do stuffs like fb-ing, or telling what they feel about to their friends, or maybe they would grab whatever they have in the fridge without noticing that it would only make them fatter, which is also leading to stress, and etc etc....
I've tried all of these, and seriously none of them worked. Well it does help a bit but not in a significant scale that I can sit back again to continue doing whatever I have to..[yeah, school stuffs]
Guess what I did then ?
I opened my ym list and told my mom.
She said,
study2 esok nak peksa
cemerlang2
How simple are those words, that it brings back all my mood to study.
ceria ceria =D
P/S:
1. Mums words are one of the greatest source of good energy, so have a try. It works for me though.
2. Maybe when you're in the midst of trouble you would realize you left something behind. Troubles often are silver linings.
3. Don't be lazy dude. You won't be credited for being that.

Reds in my room. I'm becoming more and more reddish
now's the nite before my linguistic 101 2nd mid-term exam. honestly i'm in no mood to revise nor studying for tomorrow's exam. have you ever have a feeling that you just don't know what else to read? it's as if i already knew everything when in fact i'm not in my best state of mind. Im not prepared yet. And i think linguistic is among the easiest subject to score A. the materials are not that complicated and by just looking at the code 101 (yes, 101 is the lowest subject code possible any school could ever have), believe me when i say it's easy. [ the code 101 is the main reason i took this subject. --- Human Language 101 --- .what the hell would I take '''human language''' if it's not because of the '''101''' ..??! ]
And thanks to Allah I'm still progressing good in this subject. Ohh, and the rest of my courses. (303 result was unexpected, though, but still okay..)
oWh, and the BAdgers are still strong! #3 in MidWest (?) aint half bad at all. At least I enjoyed watching Packers owning the Boilermakers (weird name), the Wolverines and the rest...
Go Badgers!
