Bad Week

This week has a total disaster. I have fallen sick for the first time in the past 1 and the half year. Gotten the stomach vies somewhere somehow which i cannot remember. It must be due to the mixture of milk and my spicy prawn noodle that resulted in today's tragedy.

Caught up with the amazing race and cleared some readings. Time is running short. Sometimes, I wonder what is all these hustle and bustle leading us too? I have some friends who are so hard on competing have actually hurt the feelings fellow "comrades" around him or her. It is thus, a very sad fact of the education system. We are not pursuing knowledge, we are just pursuing the ends to it.

Is there a limit to progress? The answer is no. Progress is infinite and unquantifiable. Once it starts, it cannot be stopped. That is if you enter a 100% socialist state. Even so, there will still be progress as it needs to retain is political legitimacy over its people. Ok, I am heading into Political Science stuff. But anyway, my point is that, what I worry is how the future generation will be coping with the pressures of unrealistic expectations. Looking at the what the primary school kids are learning today, it really scares me. All that they have today are what I can only experience in my secondary school days. With all this rapid changes taking place, will there be a time when we need to inject growth hormones once our child are born?

Okies, time for Immanuel KANT.
