lengthy and boring blog...

my wrist and my knee hurt. they both took a direct impact from the ball. i really got to be more careful and less injury-prone! but it feels good to play competitive soccer again even though i am very unfit. i got the chance to play football on wed and today because phinehas and the IC team are training for the nottingham games and i was there as an extra. =) i so love to play football!!! =)

i had 2 interesting discussions during bible study yesterday. one was bout friendship. how do you define friendship, who are our friends and what make them our friends. the other is bout the assumption that we human are a higher form of being than animals.

in my opinion, it's hard to classify friends and friendship. i don't like to do and i don't think i will do it. i admit that there are good friends, very good friends, friends of other friends, friend from an organisation/ club... but i don't want to say one friend is a better friend than another. i would say that my friend is someone that i have relationship/bond/communication with and it's not something that happen instantanously, but it's something that developed and is still developing. i can go on and on talking bout friends and friendship and it will not end. and i think it never will. i'm just glad that i have my friends. =)

the next topic is quite interesting. it's bout the assumption that we humans are a higher form of being than animals. are we not a higher form of being than animals? actually, what is the meaning of a higher form? human being is not the strongest becoz a horse can carry more weight than us and the ant can carry 20 times it's bout weight. we are also not the fastest coz any cat or dog can run faster than us. neither can we flap our hands and fly nor can we dive into the water and hold our breathe for for more than 10 mins. so we not strong, we are not fast,we can't fly, dive... so what is it bout human beings that make them a higher form? (let put aside the bible context of a higher form for now)
so is it because we are more intelligent? is it because we can stand on 2 feet? is it because we have a sub-conscience? is it because we need socializing? is it because for the last 100 years, we made great progress in technology? is it because we are able to plan and to plot? is it because we are able to lie and deceive? is it because we are cruel? is it because we are evil? is it because we are the only being that kills for fun and not for food? is it because we are the only form of being that have sex other than for the reason of reproduction? after asking so many questions, i don't have the absolute answer the question that ask why is the human a higher form of being. the only thing that i feel and can say is that the human being truly has the knowledge of good and evil and the ability to do good and evil... all because adam ate the apple...
