So finally, what have I found these last months?
Thanks to my mother, I have learnt that our world would end on December 21st 2012. She had called on the occasion of the tragic events of Fukushima, probably to make me relativize. I have checked this information about this 2012 story on the Internet and it seems many people agree with my mother. And this makes me relativize.
Check one of the many videos about December 2012 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11iCmzGnOI8 or learn more about the Web Bot project http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_Bot, a fascinating initiative probably inspired by Murphy’s law http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murphy
But as my father used to say: fear does not prevent danger and instead of fearing globally, we should act locally and even individually. So it is may be time we should also change the usual Think Global, Act Local for Think Local, Act Global as many people suggest. Or may I suggest to think AND act locally? ok, just trying to challenge my perspectives these days.
I have read the book The Room by Emma Donoghue and I am still haunted by the amazing story it tells. http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2010/aug/01/room-emma-donoghue-review-fritzl
Ah! And I also realized once again how nice it was to live in a clean and safe city. I lost my wallet in the bus last month and thanks to the driver and a Korean friend, I could get it back the day after. I still believe that bus is the most uncomfortable means of transport in Seoul but it is also the most educative about the Korean society.
That's all folks !
