I've written about the
rules seem to exist for the convenience of the person quoting the rules and not
the receiver, before. And how, when told the rules, I've challenged and
demanded to see where the rule is written. Lately, I've noticed that a lot of
Koreans get in trouble for corruption or to put it another way, where they've bent
the rules for their own gain and been caught. It's a big problem here. Big
enough Korea is viewed as one of the most corrupt country in the world by both
other Koreans and foreigners.
It seems now, rather
than simple monetary gain, it's turned around and bit the whole country in the
ass. Someone decided that forging quality certificates for the parts keeping
their nuclear reactors from meltdown was acceptable. Luckily this corruption
was discovered before it turned everyone into walking light bulbs. Korea now
faces an electricity shortage do to said reactors being shut down while the
offending parts are replaced with genuine articles.
In the winter especially
an abnormally cold one like this, no electricity is a very bad thing. Since I'm
in a government institution, I don't have to worry about running out of
electricity, but once again it's the poor who suffer the most. Really,
everybody suffers when they shut down whole sections of the country.
Watch out for knock
offs. You get what you pay for, or rather; you don't get what you should.
I read this in the
paper today; I had to copy it down. It's a perfect analogy of how serious about our lives we shouldn't be. Enjoy
your life.
“What’s evolution” by Mariko Hasegawa, 2010
All
of life on Earth in a one year time frame:
·
January 1st
- Earth is born
·
April 8th -
first signs of life
·
November
1st - simple cell life appears
·
November
26, afternoon - first fish
·
November 9th
to 26th - dinosaurs appear
·
December
25th - first monkeys
·
December
31st, 8:10 p.m. - first humans
Each of our lives is
worth a fraction of a nano second. It doesn't mean our lives are insignificant--
just that we shouldn't take everything so seriously.
