Are Lover's Blind?

I think it depends. This is a conclusion based on personal experience for seeing so many couples forming up and breaking up all around me. I myself have been through times where i became blind numerous times, and after a few month realize that she isn't the one i'm looking for. After numerous of these occasions, i'm actually much more cautious and selective in the love picking process. Before i jump into a relationship or decide i'm going after someone, i would always make a clear and careful identification and personality check to see if i will and really like this thing that a person is prone to do. I don't consider myself blind because i actually know what i will be facing when i am about to date someone. It's all after careful considerations that i launch myself in a actual relationship or flirt status. While on the other hand, there are quite a handful of people that would just launch themselves in a relationship because so and so is attractive. I am totally not like that, despite for my physical and outside appearance, that is all, i don't know, a public entertainment for creating a fake image i guess.

Why tell stories in songs?

I actually have quite alot of songs that i remember all the lyrics. The one song that i listened for about mroe than 1000 times is called love sic pt.2. The lyrics are just so beautiful and it doesn't really have anything to do with love. Well, some connection to love in a universal level. 

I think what made it so memorable was the combination of the wording along with the music behind. The background music is just a simple violin rhythm. The wordings and that the song write Nujabes created a lasting impression in my mind. Every time i see something that resembled of the imagery i created myself to the song, the lyrics flows into me like a flood. My mind just sings the song over and over again until something else catches my mind. 

The thing that really made a lasting impression of the song as i said was imagery. If a song could create a lasting image with just its words, then i would remember the song. Doesn't matter if it is the lyrics is well composed, as long as i could find something to relate to, i will remember it. 

Is Honor Worth Dying For?

This is a hard question to answer since in modern society chivalry and honor is getting much less attention. People don't care about their dignity as much as the medieval societies do. For me, i say honor is worth dying for. Despite the fact that honor is something invisible and some might argue honor is crap, i say they are all wrong. Honor is what marks a person in a society. Someone is respected because they could accomplish deeds that no man could do. When such act is done, honor is build in the people. A person without honor is like a person without dignity. When you don't fight for anything, you will fall for everything. I would die for honor, because to me it is a important thing. Without honor, a man could just be anything. They don't believe or represent anything at all. They are simply like the puppets of other people, being blown to whichever direction the wind of fate pushes them to.

Revealing your own character in writing

Chaucer had himself depicted at the start of the verses

Now in that season it befell one day
In Southwark at the Tabard where I lay, 20 As I was all prepared for setting out To Canterbury with a heart devout, That there had come into that hostelry At night some twenty-nine, a company Of sundry folk whom chance had brought to fall 25 In fellowship, for pilgrims were they all And onward to Canterbury would ride.

This is the start of the poem as he began his journey and came into contact of these people. Chaucer presents himself as a courtly scholar is what i would say. His words and beautiful descriptions of the start of the season is breathtaking just to think about all the imagery that was presented. 

You can't really find Chaucer in the prologue rather piece of piece here and there. The other part i found was that he advised them to leave early at the start as well. 

His really polite in his story as he constantly asks for forgiveness if things turn sour or the language turn ugly. like lines 715-720

This is all i have found as to Chaucer appearing as a character in the story. 

What has the power to corrupt?

So to begin this journal, as a fun fact that i just saw this picture from someone. I really want to say the power to corrupt comes from the vagina. IF you actually compare the vagina oval system, it is the same shape as the Satanic horn.
back to topic
Temptation, has the ultimate power to corrupt. a woman seducing a man, money seducing a politician. What does all that have in common? temptation. It is the temptation that can make a person evil. To be corrupt, you have to really suffer through a whole lot of trouble and hardships to have your mind really cracked up. All kinds of things has the power to corrupt, but the most obvious thing in history and still now of having the power to corrupt is definitely money. It is something that every body wants and it can give a person almost anything. It is the gateway to worldly pleasures. It is the catalyst of a person suffering through the attachment process of life.

What Make A Great Character?

So for this entry, i figure i have alot of things to write about. What makes a great character? first of all, i think this have to do with his surrounding. For us readers, what really brings out a character and find one so memorable is how he overcomes his obstacles. One of the perfect example that i have read recently is Hajima no Ippo. This is a mid weight boxer in a japanese comic. The character started out as the underdog, one who have been abused all the time. However the tide turns once he realized his love for boxing. All the time, in every match Ippo would meet a boxing prodigy or some sorts. He would always be scared and doubting himself, but at the same time he put unprecedented faith in his trainer. His immense hard works and practice always paid off as he narrowly wins every match.
Despite the fact that the comic is not really well drawn, but out of all the characters from novels, comics, movies, or cartoons, this is the character that i remember the most. Why? because of that hardwork and hard fought personality deep in Ippo. Through his training and hard work we see the character grow and become stronger each time he comes out for a match and always prevail despite the odds against him.
It is this defiance of fate that makes a great character. For me, i love it when a character faces all kinds of challenge and he counters them all and win in the end. I'm not saying that a character win in the end because he is incredibly smart or anything, in fact Ippo is quite a dull person. He left a great impression in my mind at the end because he prevail through the efforts he put into his preparation. He works so hard for each match and that is the kind of character i want to read about. Not someone that is super strong in the start but someone weak but with good potential. As the character matures he slowly evolves and turns out to be a great hero. That, is what makes a great character, hardships and never dying faith.
