Sighs...the tragedy that struck Poland...

http://news.xin.msn.com/en/top-stories/article.aspx?cp-documentid=4022676

"Besides the 60-year-old head of state and his wife, the mid-morning crash killed Poland's military chief of staff, other senior officers, its central bank governor, deputy foreign minister and members of parliament"

With just 1 stroke, the country just lost almost it's whole governement.

Man Proposes God disposes.

Life is truly very frickle and short. We are a mere candle flame flickering in the wind of life where a short puff can extinguish our little lifespans.

Despite mankind's maybe over highly rated sense of self, we are very insignificant in the universe.

human lifespan = abt 60-100 years for now
the universe, the earth the solar system are all millions billions of years old.
singapore is a small place in the world. the world is a small place in our system. and our system is a speck of dust in the starry universe.

there was this documentary on discovery i saw months ago. What will happen if all of mankind just disappeared suddenly? Within 5000 years, all traces of us would be erased, save those writings scribbled on rocks with primitive tools.

cds/ dvds will be gone in abt 100 years
power stations like those in Las Vegas will be gone in 40 years.
500 years later, nature will reclaim cities and any man made structures back into the wild.
1000 years later, our sky scappers will form the foundations of new hills.
Animals will revert to their own instincts and hunt in packs etc
within 5000 years, nothing will remain.

Oh well but as long as we live i guess we do what we must do to survive.

the crash will definitely lead to some serious politcal brickering and others might use this for their own agendas.
