Hmm… Have been experiencing disappointment with Streamyx Narrowband…
K, of Code Geass…
Am currently enjoying Code Geass… Just finished season 1… Which I personally prefer over the first season of Gundam 00…
Gundam die-hards… Say what you want… For me, Code Geass is waaaay better than Gundam 00… Hehe… But nothing beats Gundam SEED though…
And things just couldn’t get better… It’s second round, Code Geass R2 is just as awesome, if not awesomer… But the anime is still on air… Can only watch up till Episode 14, for now… Hmm…
K, enough promotion for Code Geass… Now it’s of magic…
I was reading Doraemon : Penjelajahan Ke Alam Magik (If memory serves)… Haha… Been a while since I last touched a comic book (Overlooking manga, though)… Well, obviously it’s about Nobita and friends journeyed into a magical world… And got into trouble and stuffs… I know the storyline is good and all but those are not what I intended to write here…
When I was little, I used to think that magic exist… I don’t know that even now, even with all my scientific knowledge, whether I can simply dismiss its existence… Because if you can’t proof its existence, it doesn’t mean that it’s not there… But one thing is for sure… My belief in magic is pretty much restricted to things like Nasi Kangkang, Santau, Pukau and all that is bad… So for me, magic somewhat evil, so much different that the magic that I used to believe as a li’l boy…
Magic that I used to believe? Is that we can simply wave our hands and all chores are done… That I can effortlessly do my homework just with an effortless flicker of the wand… That I can use the flying carpet or broom and travel around the world… Haha… Imagination… There’s just no restriction nor borders to it… And imagination of a li’l man? It’s even more borderless…
To look back at history… Why do human invent the word ‘magic’ if it doesn’t exist? Why? Let’s leave the question there… It’s like asking who’s John Galt? (Haha, influence of Atlas Shrugged… You got to read it to understand this… Haven’t finished reading, though… But certainly am reading it…) And even for now, they invent more scientific names for it… Like psychic, telekinesis, hypnosis, premonition and dozens of others…
It might seem ridiculous if I say that magic gives birth to science… But that’s the only way that I can see it and relate them together… Mankind (Well, some of them…) have been trying to understand the world… This yearning gave birth to astrology… Which men studied the starts to make prophecies dealing with farming, disease or whatever… Astrology then paved the way for astronomy…
The same goes with alchemy… Which attempts were made by men to convert other elements to gold or other metals… These attempts ended in vain but it showed the way for chemistry, metallurgy and even physics…
In this world of scientific knowledge… Anything that has no physical attributes, can’t be touched, can’t be scrutinized by experiments is regarded as nonexistent… We seek explanation from every phenomenon and those which are unexplainable are labeled as unscientific and should be discarded from the scientific luggage…
Honestly, even though I’m perfectly aware that a magical world is far fetched, deep in my heart, I wish that such world exist… That currently, with our scientific knowledge, we are yet to discover it… And as it stands now, honestly, I am a li’l frustrated that with growing up, came the awareness that such world doesn’t exist… And the awareness strengthens day by day…
Zam Zam Alakazam!!!
