Square Table Math

Say you saw off one corner of a square table. Traditional calculation will say 4-1 = 3. Now the table has only 3 corners left. But look carefully: 4-1 = 5. You actually have 5 corners. Now look at the cut-off piece. It has 3 corners. So 4-1 = 8. You now have 8 corners. _______________________________________________ The truth is this: you can neither increase nor decrease something, but everything keeps changing and transforming themselves. The seeming loss of something equals the gain of something else, and vice versa. Everything is connected with everything else. No gain, no loss, only change and transformation.

Facebook Friends

Have you ever thought of meeting your Facebook friends in real life? I mean in physical reality? Putting their different locations aside, say you meet one different friend each day, have your figured out how long it will take you to meet them all? If you have 365 friends, it will take you one year. If you have 730 friends, it will take you 2 years and so on. If you have 5000 friends, it will take you almost 14 years. What will Facebook and the real world be like in 14 years?

The Trump Tsai Phone Conversation

In the news, Tsai Ing-wen, the pro-independence president of Taiwan had a phone conversation with Donald Trump, the president elect of the United States of America. Needless to say, it has stirred up much controversy and debate in the world. My opinion is that president Tsai is playing a dangerous game. The chance that she'll win and make Taiwan separate from China and become truly independent is 1%. The chance that she'll lose is 99%. Nobody can change the One China reality, not Taiwan, not the U.S., not the U.N. where China has the veto power in the Security Council Permanent Membership. In any case, I'm all for peace. No violence, No killing, No war !

Coin

A coin has 2 sides. Don't look at only one side and think it is the whole coin.
