About the author!

If I had to summarise my ideals and describe myself in a picture, this is probably it.

 

I have no idea why someone would be interested in me, but we’ll see how it goes.

I have no wish to put my real name in here (My sirname is Ong) , although i’d address myself with my Chinese moniker Luo Lei ( 洛磊）, a name with similar sounds to the words ” 落泪“ ( falling tears in Chinese).  this name was conceived on a autumn day ( although there’s really no autumn in my time zone ), as I sat down thinking about the ironies of life. How some people would blatantly refuse to see perceptions of others, how people would do illogical things again and again, without being aware of it.

And even worse still, why many others would actually not spot the flaw and blindly follow and cheer on the single person. It is so..interesting how in this manner crowd psychology can be so effectively exploited.

I have not seen this once or twice, but again and again to the point that my tears flow into my heart; that I sincerely wish people would think about things more; that people will see a little bit of the chaotic logic in life.

Inspired by 2 wonderful friends and possibly other external influences, It was some time in 2007 or 2008 that I would make my lifelong goal an attempt to understand the complexities of life. I theorized that at the end of the world, there is a special set of laws that govern and define the world itself. The rules are there, but merely extremely hard to comprehend ( or is it that we humans refuse to comprehend it?)

Key historical figures such as Sakyamuni, Jesus of Nazareth as well as the Prophet Muhammad have been coined to have achieved a state of enlightenment. What if all three forms of enlightenment are the same? I believe that the form of enlightenment they have achieved, is that they have fully understood the essence of life that is truly beyond human thought.

I aim to do the same.

It’s a very lofty dream really. I’ve been thinking about it for 3 or 4 years, and I personally doubt if I had hit 2% of it. But I try each day, I try really hard.
