i've been 2 wedding this weekend, and got 1 more coming ahead on 17 dec. i hv no idea why so many people around me getting married in the same month. anyways...i've gone to a church's brother wedding ceremony today. honestly i dont quite like this kind of ceremony and especially the dinner following at night....it's just..so boring. i m sort of scared of preparing something like these in few years later. eum....really shit~ but anyways, it's a happy day to most of the people. at least 99% (not including me). cos i saw so many people made up themselves, dressed up themselves, sounds like they were the one getting married. oh come on, isnt it like xxxxxxxx haha~
for the boring day, i picked up a boring book on my shelve (in fact, it's interesting, but cos i couldnt finish it at all, and so it's classified as "boring" now). and it's called "east and west" written by chris patten, one of the most important politician at the end of 20th century. and he is one of my most admired politician. i fliped to the last chapter, called back to the future. out of a paragraph, he claimed
"the greatest excitement of politics was to have a view of how the world works, or should work, and to convince other people that it was the right one. the politicians who really mattered were those who did this. this was the sort of political leadership that really left an imprint on history."
i was deeply impressed by these words. are they the conclusion or summary of what he learned in his decades-political experience? 10 years earlier, hong kong people was called "political chilly". and today, what gives "us" such a passion to demand political power, control, sayings. it's really interesting when i watched the tv programs showing the changes of hong knog in these years. and i thought of those so-called democratic camp people. do they really know what they are doing? do they know how the woorld should work? are they the one who really matter and leave any imprint on history? haha...damnit |
