I saw a shooting star tonight!! It went by so, so, incredibly fast!

Whoosh!!

And it was large! Very large. It became smaller at it flew to the far, far edge of Earth!!

Yesterday is history,

tomorrow is mystery,

and today, is a gift.

Kung Fu Panda.

The loser, takes nothing.

Old habits, die hard.

Today’s news is tomorrow’s fish and chips wrapper.

Repeated abuse leads to learned helplessness.

A foolish man seeks happiness in the distance.

A wise man grows it beneath his feet.

An old proverb.

“Torturing and or killing pet animals is an early indicator of an expression of inner hostility. Such an individual, as they grow older, will then extend that very same hostility towards not just animals, but to people around them.”

“It indicates that as an adult, he’s gonna get pleasure out of hurting people, and that basically gives him a sense of power, out of deliberately causing them pain, and making them suffer.”

Tough Nuts, Australian Crime Stories, season 2.

“You know, when you grow up in the suburbs of Sydney or Auckland, or Newcastle like Ridley or Jamie Bell, or the suburbs of anywhere, you know, a dream like this seems kind of vaguely ludicrous and completely unattainable. But this moment is directly connected to those childhood imagining[s]. And for anybody who’s on the down side of advantage and relying purely on courage, it’s possible. Thanks very much.”

Russell Crowe, Oscar Awards.

I love thunder and lightning, both.

There is a certain type of peace in all that chaos.

The flashes of light, and the voice of the nature in a matter of seconds, it awes me.

To me, it looks like something is flying all over skies, making sure every bit of the universe (our universe, the tiny planet we have here) has received enough care and attention. At some point, all ends with a rain. And then, there is a rainbow.

And life starts, again.
