Untitled (My Thoughts)
0. Time is defined by movement.
1. Brighter the sunshine, darker the shades.
2. Art to heart is as a key to a lock: it opens the right one.
3. Look at the horizon: it is not the end of earth, but it is the beginning of a new journey -- A journey that lies in front for discovery and explore what it is beyond the horizon.
4. Colors are seen only in light. This is a fact. Whit varied hues and values, color make a picture alive. If life is a picture, emotions are the colors.
5. Mind draws on body as a pencil sketches on paper.
6. Anger is a mask that covers emotions that one has difficulties to face to and rather escape from.
7. Tears wash the heart as rain falls onto the scorched earth.
8. Forgiveness comes from understanding.
9. When one closes a door to others, one closes that door to oneself at the same time.
10. There are always reasons behind the unreasonable. Moreover, there are often more reasons behind the unreasonable then the reasons that behind the reasonable.
11. Chaos are what is unknown to people while cosmos are what is known. Because that are more unknowns than known to humans in the universe, it appears to people that "Chaos Rule Cosmos;" however, since everything including chaos can be analyses mathematically, chaos follows the rules of cosmos.
12. The law of the universe is mathematic.
13. Human can never understand everything in the universe or even everything on earth as even between "1" and "2," there are infinite numbers in between, and thus humans' powerlessness created the idea of "GOD." "But what is 'God'?" people often ask, and I have asked the same questions as well. For me, right now, "God" means "life," in which life is above the meaning of "being simply alive."
14. Freedom is enabled by boundaries.
15. Beauty is the celebration of God.
16. People are more interested in "what" then "why."
Unhappy Child
1. A person is not able to feel anger when he or she is absolutely powerless.
2. A child's rudeness reveals the anxiety in his or her family.
3. To stop a child's behavior of whining, parents often try to ignore the whining; however, this can not stop the whining inside the child's heart even when the behavior appears to have been stopped.
Whining is a natural behavior of children signaling extreme discomfort and asking for help. Ignoring a child's whining cannot help stop the child's whining but trigger the child growing up into an angry or anxious teenager, often overweight if otherwise normal as he or her longing for comfort. When a child whines, parents need to calmly and patiently communicate with the child, ask him or her to verbally describe his or her feelings and the reasons of whining, express understanding towards the child's feeling, calmly explain the parents' limitation if the parent cannot meet the child's desires or needs, and explains that whining is not an appreciated behavior -- tell the child that in general articulating one's needs is more effective than whining for it is a clearer and more respectful way of communication.

Heart-Beat
She thought that she felt sad, and she wanted to cry. But it was not easy. There were something there blocked her heart and boxed it away--away from the rest of her being, away in a dark, alienated place that is so foreign and out of reach. Yet, she seemed so sure that her heart was there, somewhere, inside her body, and it beat, beat, beat...... against the box, and it squeezed, with each beat, and it bled. "I can feel this," she says, " from time to time...... the pain."
She tried to remember these feelings as they made her feel alive. But her memory seemed to be immune from feelings--it purged them out, so quickly and fast, like a rush, and it's gone, as if nothing had never been there. And the memory then became foggy like awakening from a dream.
Upon the fist appearance of another human being, the fog of memory faded away, and a city in the sunlight stuffed with faceless beings dashing like bees merged. And she seemed to joining them without any hesitation or fear, stepping out one feet and the other and repeated the cycle erasing herself into the crowd.
