I learned this from Bill Murray in Ghost Busters. Cleanliness isn't a discrete property. There are many levels before something turns from clean to dirty. It's continuous. I thank him for such profound idea.
The truth is, life operates similarly.
The Most High teaches us that there are just good and evil; just like black and white. No gray. In real life, somehow, i fail to fathom the principality of that. I believe that there is good in every man, even just a little, there is. It is designed that way, even though free will screws up the original plan. And if that's so, then there's good in an evil man. Or there's white in black. As colorblind as i am would know that is gray. Unless it's just a white dot on a piece of black paper.
When we recognize the continuity in many other issues, we may just find new insights, or even solutions.
Then I saw heaven standing open, and there was a white horse! Its rider is named Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and wages war... And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses. Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.

Communication.
Communication, really, is the first thing we learn in life.
( Quoting Meredith of Grey's Anatomy )
And it seems to be easier doing it while we're younger. Because when we grow old, the right words hardly pops up. Whether you're asking, answering, explaining or any other sorts of communication. The older you become, the harder it gets.
Even worse, wrong choice of words bring unbearable consequences.
So some people just avoid it. Some people are just not good at it.
Are they to be blamed? Whose fault is it? If it's not theirs, why are they getting stoned for doing so? If it's theirs, why don't they do something about it?
Communication, probably, is the last thing we'll master in life.

Cone
Life goes round, but not in circles. It's cone shaped. Each time you see yourself returning to a familiar point, you're actually a step higher than before. And each round seems to take less and less time. It isn't about the speed you're traveling. The diameter gets smaller, you see.
The only moment it stops going round is when you've reached the peak. And that's the interesting part. There are only 2 alternatives for the ending.I mean it, only 2.
First, someone pulls you up to a higher ground where you can finally walk straight and wherever you go, the path is smooth.
Second, someone pulls you down and from then on, you're free falling down into a pit where the bottom never comes.
And i seriously mean it. Only 2 available endings.
Some say it's a circle. Others say it's a sphere. But seriously, it's a cone. Because it's the only one with an ending. And that's important, if you understand what i mean.

Home (*cont'd)
It's funny. Somehow i fell in love with this song. It really made me wonder. How long more do i have before i'm truly home? Or before that, would i ever find my own definition of home?
Another summer day
Has come and gone away
In Paris and Rome
But I wanna go home
Mmmmmmmm
Maybe surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone
I just wanna go home
Oh, I miss you, you know
And I’ve been keeping all the letters that I wrote to you
Each one a line or two
“I’m fine baby, how are you?”
Well I would send them but I know that it’s just not enough
My words were cold and flat
And you deserve more than that
Another aeroplane
Another sunny place
I’m lucky I know
But I wanna go home
Mmmm, I’ve got to go home
Let me go home
I’m just too far from where you are
I wanna come home
And I feel just like I’m living someone else’s life
It’s like I just stepped outside
When everything was going right
And I know just why you could not
Come along with me
'Cause this was not your dream
But you always believed in me
Another winter day has come
And gone away
In even Paris and Rome
And I wanna go home
Let me go home
And I’m surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone
Oh, let me go home
Oh, I miss you, you know
Let me go home
I’ve had my run
Baby, I’m done
I gotta go home
Let me go home
It will all be all right
I’ll be home tonight
I’m coming back home
