Quote

Nothing exists; all is a dream. God—man—the world—the sun, the moon, the wilderness of stars—a dream, all a dream; they have no existence. Nothing exists save empty space—and you!...And you are not you—you have no body, no blood, no bones, you are but a thought.

Mark Twain (1835-1910)

I wish i could hang on in there.... :)

Journalism

I was thinking about this while i'm driving this afternoon to my student's house. i do admire journalism, writing, literature and so on. But it had crossed over my mind that why there is such things like GRAMMAR, VOCABULARY, TENSES and so on. Article or newspaper should inform someone about what happened. How can you tell someone if you used a complicated words and not the common words.

Educated and uneducated people shall get the same opportunities to understand about things when they read. Sometimes i still confused if i'm reading an article. Is it should be that hard to understand? Why you made it public if there aren't 100% people will understand the writing. Nowadays journalism become like scrabble board. who got a nice word got the highest paid. I realize this when i helped my students with her English movie review, they need us to use another 'fancy words' what????? and i realized did movie critics use a special words to get the attention?

why words now categorized into different subject or theme as i said. Economy, Science, Art, Music, and so on.

I just feel sick about this writing things, and maybe this is why i can't even finish my short stories. Bcos there are rules about how to write something.
