At the age of 11, American actress Daryl Hannah met a calf that would change her life.
Then living in Chicago, her family would drive her to Wisconsin on weekends, with regular stops at a diner off the highway. She always asked to stay in the car, and once, when her parents agreed, she made the acquaintance of a truck-full of calves.
"For a full hour, this one calf was licking me and kissing me, it was so adorable. So when the truck driver came back, I said: "Excuse me, sir, what is this calf's name?"
It was not the answer she expected: "Veal. Tomorrow morning at 7."
"I snapped. I suddenly did not have the capacity to disassociate what i was eating from the creature that it had been...It was so visceral (instinctive)", she told Life!.
She may be famous for her roles in Splash and Kill Bill, but actress Daryl Hannah's great passion in life is environmental activism. She has also ever since, became a vegetarian.
What Vision do you have?
Last night, i was @ Kl/Cyn's place completing our project on Iridology, and WL and WeiJie were there as well. We watched the final episode of 白色巨塔The Hospital. I only managed to catch the last 3 epi of the whole show, but that's ok. And this last episode touched me, in the sense that, i saw what life i wanted! What life i wanted with my love as well!~* Now i understand what he meant by the "乡下" type of guy for me, and i think i really like that guy! But only partially.. if there's a balance between this 乡下 guy and 城市男孩, wow that'll be great! haha~
Details explained on my next blog. No time to write it all out now, but it simply represents what kind of Vision i want to fulfill..
Recent article on the papers got me focused on environmental issues. That caught my focus. There's this saying in PoV, that "when you feel in distress, it is actually signifying that someone out there is in greater distress and it is up to you to help that person". Sometimes, people gets so engulf,overwhelmed by your own problems or issues, LOOK OUTSIDE AND BEYOND YOUSELF!! Sometimes when you are in pain or trouble, helping the person in greater need may actually help/heal you in the process....
I've been trying to read the papers (Still trying to, and i did read this mornings papers). I switch on the TV to watch the morning CNA, and there are so many reports and article on the environmental issues. I was thinking, "If each and everyone of us, living in a community, are able to chip in however small helps to this society, How great will that effect be in helping the World?" However, people are living in stress (esp. Singaporeans, developed nations) We are sOooOOoOoOo into our own problems, degressing into our own problems, and living in our problems. If we are able to help another become happier, aren't we happier as well? (Prehaps a show of how important each individual can be? Altrusim? whatever explaination you wanna give, the result should be more Love and Happiness to the World.)
If the young South Korean man in the Virginia Tech is able to look beyond his own problems, will the tragedy not have happened? I understand he has his own traumas... if only he went to PoV....
Tracing back to the core dynamics of problems, its HAPPINESS and LOVE that people are insufficient of. One of the impactful ideas i learnt from PoV is "We are in charge of our own lives, and we attract whatever we want (whether consciously or subconsciously) into our Lives." This is so true. Unless you went to PoV, you will never understand why things such as "Why do i get this bad guy as my bf when i've always wanted a Prince Charming in shining armour? Why do i have a failed marriage? Why am i so poor when i've been working so hard for my career" etc.
Everyone wants happiness, easily said. But do everyone think that they deserve happiness, subconsciouly? Unless they think that they are worthy to love, and be loved in return, they wouldn't be able to have true happiness. Your life story and PoV tells it all....
Coming up next, Vision Part II. Stay tuned.
