on jellyfishes and on life

When one sees jellyfishes abound in the seas, it scientifically means that our seas are getting worse in supporting life. Jellyfishes apparently thrive when the environment is getting more polluted.

(In fact, as our seas get more polluted, scientists and environmentalist would agree, our seas are only getting back to its original state, a state at the dawn of time.)

But what's fascinating about these jellyfishes is the very fact that they are thriving when the seas are getting more difficult and rougher for life. When the fishes that we eat decreases in number thus getting harder to catch, jellyfishes, apparently, are having a hell of a party and spreading "love" thus the population explosion.

Fascinating.

Even more fascinating is the reason behind this ability. They thrive because they are simple creatures.

Fascinating.

As simple as "...abide in Me."

Monday

leadership's "best seat"

The best seat in the house is the worst seat in the house.
To be pressured and to be criticized is a privilege only leaders get.

the "undo" button

Yes, that's the GUI we are all familiar with, the counter-clockwise arrow.

I still remember how "challenging" it was to write reports in a typewriter. If you made a mistake you have two options. One, risk making the page look like a multi-media artwork with Wipe-out or pull out the paper and re-type the whole page.

Because of this, I was more aware of what I write, type.

I was careful, very. And discriminating of my thoughts, too. Because I fear making a mistake and loathe redoing a whole page. Such a waste of time.

That's why I very much welcome the introduction of the "undo button".

This button erased my fear of making a mistake. For if I did one, I just click it and it's gone. On that context, it is a brilliant idea.

But any brilliant idea "unconsciously" applied in a different context, a different situation, we are in for some interesting mindset change that could be the end of the world ;-)

I mean, what if one whole generation who grew up with the "undo button" benefits unknowingly applies it to life?

What dangers does that pose to society? I mean, these generation with "undo button" benefits will soon be our leaders. They will make decisions. They will write policies. And they, in effect, will soon write the world's destiny.

We do not have an undo button in life. Once it's there, it's there. I am just curious. What dangers does having an "undo button" in life?

Or maybe, Monday is just slow for me and I can't think of anything to write.

Maybe I'll just press the ''undo button" = )
