If many people think something is true, is it true?

Even if majority of the people think that something is true, it may not be the case.

There may be a few possibilities. For example, people might have been misled by false information, either unintentionally or intentionally, therefore making the conclusion that something is true.

If you could eliminate one emotion from the world, would you? Which one? Why?

HATE is the root of why people in this world are not happy. Due to this emotion, people experience mental torture as it is uncontrollable, which can result in people doing stupid things and regretting their actions later.

People go to war as they have hatred, a form of hate, inside of them. If there was no hate in this world, people would be living in peace and harmony together.

When people are jealous, they are envious and therefore dislike the other party for having a certain material or privilege. Without hate, people would not be jealous.

Hate, when combined with anger, also plays a part in many murder cases, where the murderer has hatred towards the victim or victims due to his or her actions which are deemed wrong by the former.

However, hate can be seen on the positive side. A person may hate that his competitor or opponent is faring better them himself and thus work harder to improve himself, but alas! A competitive environment creates a lot of tension and hate.

By removing hate from the world, the root cause of enmity, unrest, unhappiness, and jealousy is abolished forever.

To conclude, I would remove the one emotion, hate, from the world, as it will also remove other evil emotions from the world together.

Should you criticise people or the opinions they have?

People should not be criticised for their opinions. Everyone has their own views and opinions, even if it is not a good one.

For example, if you were reprimanded by your parents when you failed a project, who said that you did not put in enough effort which resulted in the failure, you may disagree at that point in time, probably because you were upset, but if you were to reflect, your parents might well be right.

1st Semester as a secondary student

It has been almost half a year in secondary school and life has been filled with homework, homework, and more homework, but it is much more fun than in primary school. Besides, we have a big campus to roam about during recess!

We have assembly in the auditorium every Monday, which usually starts with a discussion on various topics, for example the recent conflict between STTA and coach Liu Guodong. Three panelists would be on stage stating their point(s) before the discussion was open to the floor.

We call Monday the "slacking" day because we have only Language Arts, followed by recess, then two periods of assembly and Infocomm Studies each, before ending with RTA(Arts and Acts of Persuasion).

However, Tuesdays are the busiest days. We have all the subjects (except RTA and PE) ! (to be continued)

Animal Farm : Chapter 1

Utopia is a name for an ideal community or society, taken from the title of a book written in 1516 by Sir Thomas More describing a fictional island in the Atlantic Ocean, possessing a seemingly perfect socio-politico-legal system. The term has been used to describe both intentional communities that attempted to create an ideal society, and fictional societies portrayed in literature. "Utopia" is sometimes used pejoratively, in reference to an unrealistic ideal that is impossible to achieve, and has spawned other concepts, most prominently dystopia.

Earth Hour

It's 9.06 p.m. now. My family and I are participating in the Earth Hour and we have switched off all the lights. It was so dark! I was showering with only a lit candle in the toilet. Amazingly, the candle lit up practically the whole toilet.
