Though I don't really listen to hip-hop, A song by Tupac(2 pac) always had my respect, that is Changes. The whole song is about rasicm and was officially released in 1998 but was in progress of developing during 95-96.
Today, I happened to listen to it, and realized something interesting.
In the middle verse(Lyrics), you will find "We ain't ready, to see a black President, uhh"
Last year, 12 years after his death, 10 years after its release, we saw a Black President, Barrack Obama, whose campaign slogan was to bring about "CHANGES": "THE CHANGES WE NEED", and who just won the Nobel Peace Prize.
Barack Obama may/must have been encouraged by 2 Pac. :P
Now that we have seen, Tupac, if he was alive to this day, would really be glad to see CHANGES there have been, the CHANGES he foresaw.

Well, your CD collection looks shiny and costly.
How much did you pay for your bad Moto Guzi?
And how much did you spend on your black leather jacket?
Is it you or your parents in this income tax bracket?
Now tickets to concerts and drinking at clubs,
Sometimes for music that you haven't even heard of.
And how much did you pay for your rock'n'roll t-shirt
That proves you were there,
That you heard of them first?
How do you afford your rock'n'roll lifestyle? How do you afford your rock'n'roll lifestyle? How do you afford your rock'n'roll lifestyle? Ah, tell me.
How much did you pay for the chunk of his guitar,
The one he ruthlessly smashed at the end of the show?
And how much will he pay for a brand new guitar,
One which he'll ruthlessly smash at the end of another show?
And how long will the workers keep building him new ones?
As long as their soda cans are red, white, and blue ones.
And how long will the workers keep building him new ones?
As long as their soda cans are red, white, and blue ones.
Aging black leather and hospital bills,
Tattoo removal and dozens of pills.
Your liver pays dearly now for youthful magic moments,
But rock on completely with some brand new components.
How do you afford your rock'n'roll lifestyle?
How do you afford your rock'n'roll lifestyle?
How do you afford your rock'n'roll lifestyle?
Excess ain't rebellion.
You're drinking what they're selling.
Your self-destruction doesn't hurt them.
Your chaos won't convert them.
They're so happy to rebuild it.
You'll never really kill it.
Yeah, excess ain't rebellion.
You're drinking what they're selling.
Excess ain't rebellion.
You're drinking, You're drinking,
You're drinking what they're selling.
Seriously, How do you afford your Rock N Roll lifestyle?
How much did you pay for your bad Moto Guzi?

Нэгэн эсээish...
6 commentsМонголын Түүх дээр нэгэн даалгавар өгсөнийг өчигдөр орой хийлээ. Өнөөдөр багшид хураалгах ёстой. Өмнө нь эсээ бичээд ингэж таашаал, ханамж байсан удаагүй шиг санагдаад байна. Яагаад ч юм нэг л дажгүй болчихсон юм шиг санагдаад та бүхэнтэй хуваалцахаар шийдлээ. Гайхуулж байгаа юм биш шүү, зүгээр ингэмээр санагдаад... Ойлгоно биз дээ :D
Түүх судлахын ач холбогдол?
Би нэг өдөр тв-р Алцгаймерийн өвчтэй нэгэн өвчтөний өдөр тутмын амьдралыг харуулсан баримтат киног үзсэн юм. Тэр өвчтөн өөрийн юу дөнгөж хийсэн, юу хийж байгаа, юу хийх гэж буйгаа байнга тэмдэглэдэг, тэр ч бүү хэл өөрийн нэр ус, нас зэргийг тэмдэглэнэ гээч, учир нь гэвэл ойрийн санах ой нь гэмтсэн буюу Алцгаймер гэх аймшигт, эдгэрэшгүй өвчин туссан байсан юм. Юутай харамсалтай вэ, өнгөрснөө санахгүй, нүдээ хаагаад нээхэд л дэлхийд шинээр ирсэн мэт, дөнгөж мэндэлсэн хүүхэд шиг л, хоосон...
Тэр залуу яагаад бүх зүйлд тэмдэглэл хөтлөөд байгаа юм бол оо? Зүгээр л өдөр цаг, мөч хором бүрт шинээрээ байж болохгүй гэж үү? Өнгөрснөө мэдэх гэж тэгэж их мэрийж өөрийгөө зовоох хэрэг байна уу? ... Байгаа, мэдээж байгаа. Яагаад гэвэл тэр бол дөнгөж төрсөн ‘хүүхэд’ биш, олон жил сарыг элээсэн, түүх бичилцсэн хүн. Тэр өөрийгөө хэн бэ, хэн байсныг, хэн болохыг хүсэж байснаа мэдэх эрхтэй, мөн хэрэгтэй. Амьдралынхаа алдаа дутагдалыг дахин дахин давтахгүйн тулд, баяр жаргалаа эргэн дурсаж байхын тулд, өөрийн болон бусдын хийж бүтээсэн зүйлээр бахархахын тулд, ирээдүйгээ бас зөв бичихийн тулд түүнд өнгөрснөө мэдэх хэрэгтэй.
Бид зүгээр нэг өдөр ‘БИД’, тэд бас ‘ТЭД’ болчихгүй. Бид анх танилцсан хүнийг огт мэдэхгүй ч хэсэг хугацаа өнгөрөхөд тийм, ийм хүн юм байна гэсэн дүгнэлтэд хүрдэг ба энэ дүгнэлт бидний хувьд тэр хүнийг тодорхойлдог. Тэгэхээр нэг талаас биднийг тодорхойлох нэг хүчин зүйл бол бидний хийж бүтээсэн зүйлс юм. Нэгэн алдартай хүний хэлснээр “Маргааш юм уу ирээдүйн ‘би’ бол өнөөдөр би юу бүтээсэн тэр юм, өнөөдрийн ‘би’ бол өчигдөр юм уу өнгөрсөнд би юу бүтээсэн тэр юм.”
Бас нөгөө талаас бид, өнгөрсөнд өвөг дээдэс минь юуг хийж бүтээсэн, юуг даван туулснийг мэдэхгүйгээр өөрийгөө тийм ийм хүн гэж хэлэх нь утгагүй юм. Бидний судсаар өвөг дээдсийн цус гүйж л байгаа бол биднй толгойд, ой тойнд үүх түүх нь мөн урсаж л байх ёстой. Өвөг дээдсийнх ч гэлтгүй бүх дэлхийн түүхийг бүрэн дүүрэн мэддэггүй юмаа гэхэд ядаж томоохон үйл явлүүдийг мэддэг цухас мэдлэгтэй байх хэрэгтэй. Хэрвээ үгүй бол бид хэн ч биш ба ‘сармагчин’* лугаа адил болох юм.
Түүх зөвхөн өөрөө өөрсдийгөө таниж мэдэхэд хэрэгтэй гэвэл бас өрөөсгөл. Ирээдүйд магадгүй юу болж болохыг тааж мэдэхэд мөн ашиглагдаж болно. Бид бүгдээрээ ‘хүн’ л юм хойно хүн болгон өөр зүйл хийнэ гэдэг юу л бол, тиймээс ч түүхийг бичдэг нь бид болохоор түүх давтагдах нь бий. Бас түүх ёс суртахуун, хуулийг бичэлцдэг юм учир нь тэд бүгд өнгөрсөн үйл явлуудаас ургаж гарсан асуудлууд байдаг. Гашуун сургамжтай түүх бидэнд юуг дахин давтаж болохгүйг заадаг (хамгийн ойрын жишээ бол дэлхийн II дайнд цэг тавилцсан Японы Нагасаки хотод хаясан цөмийн бөмбөг. Одоо Дэлхий даяар, тэр тусмаа Америк улс цөмийн зэвсгийг дэлгэрүүлэхгүй гэж яаж тэмцэж байгаа билээ дээ. Энэ бол түүх, энэ бол сургамж). Эрэлхэг зоригтой түүх юу хийж болдогыг харуулдаг (бас нэгэн хамгийн ойрийн жишээ бол Энэтхэгийг олон зуун жилийн колониос тусгаар улс болгож чадсан Махатма Гандигийн хийсэн цусгүй хувьсгал. Энэ бол түүх, энэ бол баримт)... гэх мэтчилэн тоочвол цөөнгүйээ.
Эдгээрээс харахад бид түүхийг өөрсдөө бүтээж, түгээж, хэрэгжүүлж байдаг ба түүнийг судлахгүйгээр хэдийгээр амьд явж болох хэдий ч зөв амьдрая гэсэн хүний заавал үзэж судлах зүйлийн нэг бөлгөө. Ирээдүйд бид өөрсдөө түүх болчихсон судлагдаж байх болно шүү дээ!
*"Түүхээ мэдэхгүй хүн ойд төөрсөн сармагчин лугаа адил" гэж хэн нэгэн хүн хэлсэн байдаг шиг санагдаж байна, хэнийг нь санадаггүйээ

When one door closes, one opens...
2 comments
Has someone ever shut a door at your face? Have you ever been closed in any opportunity that felt like the end of the World?
So if there has been or will there ever be, Don't panic!!!
As the headline says... when one door of happiness, success and things like that closes, one opens...
We are living in a full of opportunities. Don't try to catch them all, but at least try to grasp as many as we can.
May we don't forget that when we go into one door, the other doors become unnecessary thus closed.
Therefore, it is a choice we make which door we go to either to darkness or to light.
Let Us be Optimistic or REALISTIC.
Let Us be Optimistic or REALISTIC.

EVOLUTION...
2 comments
It has taken our earth 4.5 billion years to evolve into what it is now, with full of life on it... especially lives with intelligence, humans...
- 3.8 billion years of simple cells (prokaryotes),
- 3 billion years of photosynthesis,
- 2 billion years of complex cells (eukaryotes),
- 1 billion years of multicellular life,
- 600 million years of simple animals,
- 570 million years of arthropods (ancestors of insects, arachnids and crustaceans),
- 550 million years of complex animals,
- 500 million years of fish and proto-amphibians,
- 475 million years of land plants,
- 400 million years of insects and seeds,
- 360 million years of amphibians,
- 300 million years of reptiles,
- 200 million years of mammals,
- 150 million years of birds,
- 130 million years of flowers,
- 65 million years since the non-avian dinosaurs died out,
- 2.5 million years since the appearance of the genus Homo,
- 200,000 years since humans started looking like they do today,
- 25,000 years since Neanderthals died out.
This is a brief history of life on Earth. From this, as one can see, evolution is not something that one can see during one's life span.
As time pass by, evolution itself has gotten into faster road which lead to present time. Now, one can see not only one, but also quite a number of evolutions in his or her life time. Computer evolution, for example, in half a century or so, has evolved into what is now a chip with size of matches (from only one perspective), let alone super duper muper computer, from half a living room or more sized metal.
At first, evolution was, by nature, decided and fittest would survive and evolve into more adapted being. But now humans are creating evolutions, not by mighty hands of Nature or God themselves, making them (evolutions) faster and modifiable, but not as reliable.
In biology, chemistry, physics and many more field, scientists and experts are trying to find answers for questions that were/are being asked and will be asked. As they struggle, we consume, like we can stop though...
One thing is certain that those creation and evolutions have helped us to create what was once a dream or not even dreamed. However, we became more cruel than ever to our mother who supplies everything from a sand to a piece of gold.
Cruelty has become a commonplace...
As we consume, we endanger natural balance or equilibrium which is vital for livings and earth herself.
Will these evolutions we are making help us? It is 99.99% sure that Earth will someday run out of its resources and then the Judgement day will come upon us or even sooner, much more sooner than that...
Should she be grateful if she is the only one of her kind who is carrying US, intelligent creatures.
OR
Should she be sorry for that she have to undergo with those creatures who are paving her destruction so quickly?
DING!!! :D
