"A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut
and his beard trimmed. As the barber began to
work, they began to have a good conversation.
They talked about so many things and various
subjects. When they eventually touched on the
subject of God, the barber said: "I don't believe
that God exists."
"Why do you say that?" asked the customer.
"Well, you just have to go out in the street to
realize that God doesn't exist. Tell me, if God
exists, would there be so many sick people?
Would there be abandoned children? If God
existed, there would be neither suffering nor pain. I
can't imagine a loving God who would allow all of
these things."
The customer thought for a moment, but didn't
respond because he didn't want to start an
argument.
The barber finished his job and the customer left
the shop. Just after he left the barbershop, he saw
a man in the street with long, stringy, dirty hair and
an untrimmed beard. He looked dirty and unkempt.
The customer turned back and entered the barber
shop again and he said to the barber: "You know
what? Barbers do not exist."
"How can you say that?" asked the surprised
barber. "I am here, and I am a barber. And I just
worked on you!"
"No!" the customer exclaimed. "Barbers don't exist
because if they did, there would be no people with
dirty long hair and untrimmed beards, like that man
outside."
"Ah, but barbers DO exist! " answered the
barber. "What happens, is, people do not come to
me."
"Exactly!"- affirmed the customer. "That's the point!
God, too, DOES exist! What happens, is, people
don't go to Him and do not look for Him. That's why
there's so much pain and suffering in the world."
If you think God exists, forward this on to other
people---If you think God does not exist, just
delete it!" - Taken from an anonymous source in Friendster
Well I just couldn't hold myself and need to comment on something about this story.... in the second last paragraph, "God, too, DOES exist! What happens, is, people don't go to Him and do not look for Him. That's why there's so much pain and suffering in the world."..... well, I think the people suffering are calling to God.... so, how is that person gonna answer that...... why is there still suffering?! People are calling to God for help...... Its not that I want to attack someone's believe, but some of these stories does not make a whole lot of sense....
I watched, in my opinion, a nicely done movie last Saturday..... an anime movie, Steamboy..... Its the story of a boy named Ray(Rei), who one day receives a package from his grandfather and in the package contains a black ball and some notes along with it. Soon after he receives the package, people from the Ohara group arrives and is after the contents of the package....... I said its nicely done caus the music is really really good, the camera angles are wonderful, the graphics nicely drawn.... however, there is a down part too.... about half of the movie is focused on one subject(which some find a waste as the time slot there could have used to explain certain things further) and the script needs to be tuned a little more(certain dialogue sure feels out of place)....
And so.... all the first assignments have been handed in, together with the price that has to be paid with them.... paid physically, mentally and perhaps spiritually as well..... but wait, there's more..... more assignments that is!!..... need to catch up.... so much to do..... is there enough time?!..... so much drawing..... so much animating..... so much typing..... so much filming..... sooooo mmmmmuuuccchhhh.......
