What we like
- It shows the world of online social media, online romance and an unusual consequence
Mind Experience
- There is doubt as to whether this was actually staged, given the background of the film makers. In itself this would be something to contemplate, if that was the case. Whether it is real or a hoax it goes to prove that it is difficult to know what the truth is when it is edited. Just like most of the online world
To think about
- Vince: They use to take Cod from Alaska all the way to China. They’d keep them in vats in the ship. By the time the Cod fish reached China the flesh was mush and tasteless. So this guy came up with the idea that if you put these Cods in these big vats, put some Catfish in with them and the Catfish will keep the Cod agile. And there are those people who are Catfish in life and they keep you on your toes. They keep you guessing, they keep you thinking, they keep you fresh. And I thank God for the Catfish because we would be drull, boring and dull if we didn’t have someone nipping at our fin.
Anne Frank – hope

Leonardo da Vinci – transform
“The men of experiment are like the ant; they only collect and use. But the bee gathers its materials from the flowers of the garden and of the field, but transforms and digests it by a power of its own.”
Dalai Lama – a precious human life
“Every day, think as you wake up. Today I am fortunate to have woken up. I am alive, I have a precious human life. I am not going to waste it. I am going to use all energies to develop myself, to expand my heart out to others, to achieve enlightenment for the benefit of all beings. I am going to have kind thoughts towards others. I am not going to get angry, or think badly about others. I am going to benefit others, as much as I can.”
Leo Tolstoy – happiness
“Happiness consists of living each day as if it were the first day of your honeymoon and the last day of your vacation.”
