"Ironing Out the Wrinkles
Life was once a tangled mess.
Like missing pieces, in a game of chess.
Like only half a pattern for a dress.
Like saying no, but meaning yes.
Like wanting more, but getting less.
But I'm slowly straightening it out.
Life was once a tangled line.
Like saying yours, and meaning mine.
Like feeling sick, but saying fine.
Like ordering milk, but getting wine.
Like seeing a tree, and saying vine.
But I'm slowly straightening it out.
Life is now a lot more clear.
The tangles are unravelling,
And hope is near.
Sure there are bumps ahead.
But no more do I look on with dread.
After fourteen years the tangles have straightened."

can not afford myself a Kindle, and i prefer material like paper, it comes with the smell which Kindle can not offer.

-
I think Kindle is good and the e-ink or e-paper is more comfortable for reading but I do not like the idea to be controlled by a certain brand/company
-
hmm..Amazon is great, you can buy those books without censoring. Those books selling in Hong Kong is already been examined.
-
I have no idea about censoring. I ordered a few times from Amazon a few years before. One problem is that I can only get my parcels on Saturday mornings, which is not that convenient. I also ordered from bookdepository and paddyfield before. Some unpopular books are easier to buy online.

Why Do We Sin? Sin is a universal human problem. It's something we all do.
we all making stupid decision because we are not perfect. But you could argue it if you are not religious.
===============================================================
sin is not an act of stupidity. we commit sin because that is of benefits to us, and we commit it in such a way we think we can get away with it.
sin is not a crime. but rather an infraction of the moral code, imposed upon the individuals by outer or collective forces.

are you an atheists? haha..everything you feel is your discover.
-
Depends on your intetpretations. To me, an alien with super power or magic is not a god. A god must be kind, has high moral, with great knowledge and power. However given the fact that there are wars, starvation, diseases, natural disasters, how can I convince myself that there is an all knowing all kind all powerful god?
-
While i might be very eager to have a god to take care of us or the universe, i am not convinced with evidence that such a god exist.
-
oh, the question should be rewrite are you two are an atheists?:P
however its something you willing to believe as a shelter of mankind.Just like a light in the dark and endless tunnel, you can have a hope there is a perfect nature. anyway, this is a complicated topic, no hard feeling...
-
Perhaps if it is not complicated then we will not be trying to discuss here :p
Glad to have your replies but it is time to start working now.

I am agnostic rather, to be precise. lol
-
I do hope that there is peace, but i am also interested to know why is it not possible to have a perfect world. Maybe i am just too boring LOL
-
Other than reading, what else do you like to do? I like to take photos of birds, flowers and landscape.

Have you ever spoken to a truly boring person? The chances are quite high because the world is sadly full of average people (especially if you work in customer service). Boring people are difficult to hold conversations with because they don’t offer anything. Nothing. Nada. When you are talking at a brick wall, the conversation becomes stagnant and awkward pretty quickly.
haha...dont you dare expect to get to know a stranger in just few conversation?Do You?
-
sal,
who is the brickwall you are alluding to? have you actually bang your head against them before? or do you just turn around and walk? lol
