Thoughts beyond my life & my travel - Bel

Has the rule of dating become more casual? Definitely but is relationship that loose like being shown in the programme "Love in the Wild". Young contestants were paired as couples who had to stay on the same beds during the competition. Two people just get to know each other and they share the intimate days and nights. Some didn't find connection between each other but they want to stay on as they will have advantages throughout the competition. Other guys hold hands with the girls or kiss the girls even they lay eyes on another girls. It doesn't quite makes sense to me. But it's a dating show. Does it mean the rule of dating changes and the line of ethics is being pushed way way backward? Such concept is even beyond "one night stand". I feel like I shouldn't have born in this decade as I still hold the traditional ethics that dating should rule the old school.

I was compelled to join a lavish lunch, but it's nothing compared to a simple meal in which I enjoy alone or with close friends. Are we being influenced by the "lifestyle in the US" in which people consume beyond what they earn? Is Hong Kong becoming more and more materialistic? To be honest, I have a more happy moment if I can enjoy a few chit chat and a gentle workout than having an exquisite meal. Can life be easier without being influenced by the people around us?

Did we not learn a lesson from history? I read the news about the "massacre" in Egypt that reminded me what happened in China many years ago. We keep learning through histories, through someone's mistake and our mistake, nevertheless we can't avoid the fallacies that things can happen again. Maybe that's why people might bump into the wrong guys all the time. A psychologist lecture triggered my thought somehow, change blindness disables us to see the whole picture as we focus on a single thing or bear a rigid belief so deep. Maybe when we "witness" the history, our focus was upon the power instead of the horrible picture that we've seen. Blessing to all who feel angry and sad about this craziness.
