I am once again hooked onto love sopey korean dramas, watching Full House for like the what...4th time i think. Still a great series, doesn't fail to give me that warm fuzzy feeling everytime. The cool thing about korean and japanese dramas has to be their soundtracks, how they use different songs to really bring out the emotions in the scenes, not to mention their superb cinematography, script and acting techniques, too bad you don't see that in Singapore. Another cool thing is how they are seemingly able to make speaking broken english sound cool, while it sounds horrible when some ah lian or ah beng does speak it.
Well anyway back to the main idea of my post, wouldn;t it be cool if there was background music for the different happenings in our lives. For example when entering the exam hall for a particularly difficult exam (204...) the soundtrack will be something like Eye of the Tiger. And if you are like heartbroken or very emo over some love stuff, it will be the OST of Full House (its in Korean, i dunno wat the hell they are singing abt, but sounds nice nonetheless) And if some ass is nagging you, the background will be blasting that Linkin Park song when they incessently shout 'shut up!!!!'
Yeh that would be cool in any case here are some youtube links to the songs that i mentioned
eye of the tiger
full house ost (song hye gyo is the ultimate babe)
And that shut up song by Linkin park
Labrador Park, great place for fishing
Been reading Hegel's philosophy of Right this past 2 weeks, well not really reading his work but rather the abridged version, but nonetheless think its a really good piece especially when it comes to the part on his conception of the 'person'.
So basically Hegel is saying then that the person or the self in a way is what is rational in its decision making, but not so much so that the person is entirely rational in every sense, but a form of middle way between 100% rationality and 100% action based on desire.
Which kind of makes sense in a way, for if we were to see the true self as something that can only emerge as entirely free from 'culture' and in a sense free to do how and whatever one pleases, that is not true freedom as the person is but a slave then to the desires that motivate his or her actions. Rather its the ability then to comprehend desires, rationalise and then choose how to act in which then the person comes about and in a way the true self.
What if then the true self is not so much this idea of being free from constraint, the supposedly entirely uniqueness of oneself. But rather the true self is then how one chooses then to rationalise and then choose to act in accordance with the stimulus present through the various faculties available to one then to express it.
