// Inspiration from the Sun //

I remembered, from the nuclear physics lecture during which, amazingly, I did not fall asleep, that between nuclear fission and fusion, that the latter can only occur in the Sun.

Have we take for granted this "free" source of energy?
Of course i'm not saying that you should worship the Sun.
But it is in the depths of human nature to take certain things for granted.
Certain things like family, friendship...even our very own healthy body.
We often complain of not having this, not having that...
Have we ever considered those less fortunate than us?

In Singapore, have we take our govt for granted?
Lots of time we talk about mundane things like lifts upgrading, re-roofing, block-painting.
But where are the ideals?
We want the opposition to represent our unhappiness on some govt policies.
Where are the votes?
Ultimately, most people vote to show their defiance. To be rebellious.
After all, a opposition party which have proven itself to better the present govt have yet to evolved.
In the first place, putting words into action could prove difficult for some opposition as they may have the heart but are lacking in resources.
A credible opposition can only evolve if there is a more level playing field on both sides.
