February 07 Sem 2 is really tiring...Well.. all i can say is that "It has been an eventful sem 2 so far." Lots of stuff happened. Made new friends in tutorial groups, learnt new stuff in many of my lectures - except Stats. Ya... haI~ Japanese I1 just ended a few weeks back.... I2 gonna start on wed evening 630pm. Gonan learn on short passages, and more grammar =) Sounds very fun!! Hmm.... our bible studies group at clinton's has just started not long ago. Yesterday was my first session. But it has spoke to me ALOT. For one thing: Prayer as the basis of leading a Christian lifestyle. Have i been praying? nope... not alot.... havent really pray and talked to God for a long long time. Perhaps that is also why i couldnt do many other stuff which i ought to be doing... perhaps it's really because my r/s with God isnt deep enough. God, please draw me closer to you. At the same time, i do earnestly hope that my friends would be touched by the Love of God, and walk in the light =) Having said so,... i also realised that in whatever we do, we act, we say... there must be a motivation behind it all. Be it in good intents, having altruistic motives, or just plainly a bothersome chore to be completed - there is just that motivation to do so. Can we say that an action has intrinsic value therefore i do it. Well... that question bugged me for quite long. But i do have a suggested answer to it now. Actions or by doing something, it means NOTHING at ALL. It does not have intrinsic value to it. Thus, meaningless. Meaning of an action is associated. We determine the value of an action by associating it certain meaning in our brains, so thus encouraging ourselves to go for it because there is a purpose. Eg. Giving to old folks doesn't mean anything. It's just an action. But we associate it with being generous and kind to people who are needy. This gives meaning to the action, thus enabling us to feel satisfied when the action is done. What's our meaning to life then?
