The strongest and most effective force in guaranteeing the long-term maintenance of power is not violence in all the forms deployed by the dominant to control the dominated, but consent in all the forms in which the dominated acquiesce in their own domination. - Maurice Godelier

for most of us , the greatest pain in the world is not the wars the hungers the death or the murders of love ones and other people. the greatest pain one could ever bear is the feeling of not being accepted for who or what they are. serge knows this, serge has been into the breaking point of feeling unwanted. unaccepted. unaccepted because the things he does and the things he did was not exactly what the powers-that-be think that it should be.

being unwanted is one thing, being unaccepted is something else.thank god for god, though serge hasn’t been prayerful, serge knows that life will be good as serge knows that he needs to accept himself for who he is, for the weaknesses that he has. like the words below

“There’s no need to feel ashamed of your weaknesses… I’m proud I still have weaknesses.” -Aya, WK Gluhen

serge to is proud of the weakness he has and the fact that he is accepted himself for that weakness he has.

Our Father
who lives above and beyond the dimension of the internet

Give us this day a life worth blogging,
The access to words and images that express our journey with passion and integrity,
And a secure connection to publish your daily mercies.
Your Kingdom come into new spaces today,
As we make known your mysteries,
Posting by posting,
Blog by blog.

Give this day,
The same ability to those less privileged,
Whose lives speak louder than ours,
Whose sacrifice is greater,
Whose stories will last longer.

Forgive us our sins,
For blog-rolling strangers and pretending they are friends,
For counting unique visitors but not noticing unique people,
For delighting in the thousands of hits but ignoring the ONE who returns,
For luring viewers but sending them away empty handed,
For updating daily but repenting weekly.

As we forgive those who trespass on our sites to appropriate our thoughts without reference,
Our images without approval,
Our ideas without linking back to us.

Lead us not into the temptation to sell out our congregation,
To see people as links and not as lives,
To make our blogs look better than our actual story.

But deliver us from the evil of pimping ourselves instead of pointing to you,
From turning our guests into consumers of someone else’s products,
From infatuation over the toys of technology,
From idolatry over techology
From fame before our time has come.

For Yours is the power to guide the destinies behind the web logs,
To bring hurting people into the sanctuaries of our sites,
To give us the stickiness to follow you, no matter who is watching or reading.
Yours is the glory that makes people second look our sites and our lives,
Yours is the heavy ambience,

For ever and ever,
Amen

Nothing is perfect because life isnt perfect, and thats what makes it so beautiful

taken from the said anime above, serge knows that nothing is perfect because it is the imperfection in life that makes life that it is perfect. without imperfection how are the human race able to see the struggles and the perfection in their imperfect life ? frankly speaking, until the sentients of this land called earth realize that their life is imperfect…perfection of their soul will never be complete.

It took sometime for serge to realize that, even with the power he has to ultimately change the life of his to something a little bit better he knows that it would make other people feel bad or in some cases the consequences of his action will be incalculatively tremendous that the heaviness of his heart far surpasses the need to change the life of his. this is what he knows, this is his thruth. this is who he is.

changing the world for oneself to be perfected in the eyes of the owner or leaving this world as it is and be imperfected ? which one will the reader choose ? which one would it be. as the threads of fate which is many is intertwine by simple decisions such as this.

therefore serge will twiddle the threads one day at a time.

first of all let me (yes folks serge is going to speak in the first person perspective for today’s post) introduce to all of you Peter Tan . This man is and will be always and inspiration to many people out there. Peter Tan suffers from being paralyze from the chest down since he was 18 due to a diving incident he is now 30+. just imagine how it is to be able and then disabled. for us abled body people it’s easy to ignore the fact that we can walk, run, skip, move our limbs here and there because we are able to do so. even typing this entry can make one forget our fingers.

Peter Tan, to me is an inspiration to many. from being an able-body person to a person who loses all physicality and is now and still is relearning to stand and walk again. Truly an inspiration, truly. I have seen many people who after maybe months of intensive physiotherapy, they give up hope and sometimes the will to live. but it’s different with Peter Tan, instead of giving up he gave up on giving up, i believe that with his physicality broken his spirituality deepen and that gave him the strenght to go on.

Thus today is an entry dedicated to him and to his cause which is being helped by Mack

First of all how many of you remember the earthquake that happen ? a lot of you, since the incident kicked us in the face. Peter Tan during the time of the earthquake was staying [and still is staying] on a high rise and he now need our help to help him with his cause. He is trying and still is, pushing the envelope to get high-rise buildings to have an orderly evacuation plan be created, taking to account the people who are bodily-challenged. I have noticed that most building do have a simple evacuation plan but one thing is for certain MOST of the evacuation plan is meant for those who are able bodied.

Peter Tan, after the earthquake incident wrote a letter to the building manager, and like most malaysia who is courteous and nice to westerners,scoffs at Peter Tan’s proposal and deemed him a troublemaker. Thus with the help of of Mack, many of us bloggers are voicing and helping Peter Tan out. You to can help the cause by placing this banner in your journal

do change the ” [ " " ] ” to ” < " " > “

help us help Peter Tan, as we all have power to change and it will be a shame if we dont use our powers for the right cause. Anyway i got the banner up and its’s on the left side.

yet isn’t it better to remember to remember and be sad ? for you know you had poured out all your heart. Do not be discourage, do not forget….for if you do, the sad memories will remain sad. Always remember, that the sadness you have endured the first time will later be happy memories which will make you stronger in your love for the people whom you really care about.
