A White Pebble

A long awaited update (yea right...). I've so much to write, but I can't get them all out at one time.

So much time has passed since I've really updated this blog. That doesn't mean that I'm about to abandon it though. Life goes it, but what does it really mean if we let it slip through our fingers without noting down significant events in our lives? The marking of the passage of time is, more importantly, a heritage that we leave behind. Individually, we may only etch no more than a scratch in the infinite web of time, yet collectively they form the colourful strands that weave together to form our kaleidoscopic history. Yes, the diversity that defines humanity is the apex of our strength, but paradoxically, is the nadir of our nature. In essence, our ethics that proudly stand today may very well be tomorrows depraved morality. Multiculturalism is often espoused as the antidote to societal woes but this pluralism may very well be the cause of our fall. History has shown again and again that humankind has never been tolerant of other species, much less within its own kind. Perhaps the trait of selfishness has been hardwired into our genes throughout the millenia of scrambling for survival. Altruism, for what its worth, is done to increase the chances of survival.
