creepy
a few weeks ago i read 'The Taking' by Dean Koontz. i'm still thinking abt it now. to say its creepy is to put it mildly.
short synopsis: Earth being taken over by so-called aliens *which are actually the devils themselves*, a lot of weird things happened like rain smelling like semen but tasting like vanilla ice cones, people dying horrifically, terra-forming resulted in indistinct boundary of plants and animals, dead and undead. pure gothic. reynolds would love it. i got the heebie-jeebies when i read the book and i still get it when i think abt it.
moral of the story?
i'm not quite sure actually. there is a strong msg of having hope no matter what horrifying and desperate matters thrown in your path..but i think what really bothers me is what if something like that really happen in reality? will all of us die the same horrific death the characters did (jaws torn off, upper skull removed, decapitated etc)? there's this scene where the main protagonist faced off with the devil himself and she still maintained her courage and not lose hope. would i have the same courage if i was in the same situation?
truth is, stories like this freak me out. same goes to the matrix. it just makes me question what is reality, whether we are doing the right thing, how do we know what is real etc etc.its just disturbing ie. MAJOR heebie-jeebies.
when i was younger, my mom said if i try to think like God i'd go crazy. now that i'm older, realize she's right in a way, and so is plato, cos no matter what angle i try, i still ended up confuse. i suppose this is where faith comes in.
how aware are you of your mortality?
hmm..disconnected thoughts which arent exactly cheerful.
happy birthday to nadie! hugz
i miss YOU!
