Song 54 : We're one family

The Olympics 2008 opening ceremony was so good!

I really liked it as it talked a lot about Chinese history.
The use of a scroll like screen to depict chinese history is very creative indeed.
The part where the dancers swayed and painted the paper simultaneously was beyond this world!
And the children painting the paper to show how important it is to instill environmental thoughts in children! Nice!

The part which i liked most was the Taichi part!
DAmn cool!
The pearl silk attire and the laser-projection really worked!
It really showed harmony between humans and nature, which is what taichi is really all about!
and
Taichi is the coolest martial arts in the world!

Anyway, it seems that in this world that has such relative harmony on the surface, but is actually churning with grudge in the core, I find myself really impressed that all these countries that has always pointed missiles at each others' faces would actually put all that war nonsense aside and actually come together for the spirits of sportsmanship.

It's like Sports is the unity factor in human relationship.
in the arena, its as if everyone puts their black hearts away for once and let their hair down.

Looking at the opening ceremony, you cant help but to believe that for once, eternal peace can be achieved.
I mean, why not?
If we can do it for 17 days, why not longer?

Sometimes i wish that the Olympics can last forever.
I'm Sick
Sick of all the fighting and bickering...
Why cant we stop killing each other?
Why can't we just adopt the habit of giving each other a big hug and sing compliments in each others' ears like in Barney and Friends?

Maybe this world really is decaying.
Maybe Nostradamus wasnt wrong
