Introduction

I’ve been meditating everyday throughout my life. All too often the meditation itself ends up with confusion and sometimes frustration. I’m not a smart person as I claim so, I confess. But believe it or not, I eventually come to some concrete thoughts that I thought I may share with you, and by “you” I mean “mankind” or “humanity”.

This may explain my outrageously courteous picks of words here: “Tiny” and “Discrete”. Well, let me make myself clear here before you get mad at me. By the word “Tiny” I mean it’s not a solid theory yet, and perhaps it never will be. It may be deeply flawed in a way that there might exist a lot of seemingly counter examples that I fail to cover up. And by the word “discrete”, I’m saying that my intention of writing this is not to transform myself into a philosopher of any kind, but simply a measure of recording some random thoughts. I have no proof or statistic to back up my argument whatsoever. So read it just for the sake of reading.

  • Genesis:Chapter One

    • Some dictionary defines morality as follows: principles concerning the distinction between right and wrong or good and bad behavior.

    My quest begins one night when a question pops up in my head. “Is there any universal standard for morality?” To be specific, the question was asking if there’s a moral standard in the cosmos/universe(excuse my lack of knowledge on choosing between these two words, they always seem the same to me somehow). Such a moral standard can be applied to any extra-terrestrial civilization.

    Later my mind stirs to life. I began to think about morality itself from a more scientific perspective than I ever did.
