A Meaningful Show

By chance, i have got to watch a show; Escape from Hong Kong Island.

This loaded message kept me pondering;
be a better person and maybe you won't be screwed when you have a bad day.

The main lead, Raymond Mak, is a complete bastard of a man, who'll screw the best friend of his girlfriend Candy Lo while she's away from their lunch table. Raymond also dumps his mother in a retirement home and neglects her, ignores his brother and sister until he needs some dough, and is generally mean and abusive towards every other person he knows in the universe.

Obviously Raymond deserves a comeuppance, and unsurprisingly he gets it. Raymond's humbling by Hong Kong Island—and whatever gods control the region's good or bad fortune—is all-inclusive and accounts for a good 80% of the film's comedy. Bureaucracy, bad fortune (getting mugged, getting stiffed with a lunch bill), and general silly stuff (losing his chance at a five dollar coin, sperm donation problems) all add up to amusing, if not repetitive chances at comedy.

So in life, no matter how bad your mood may be, must tolerate. Tolerance promotes peace and taking a step back widens one's horizons. 忍一时风平浪静,退一步海阔天空。

You will never know the action that you did in a fit of anger, will result in a series of tragedy and regrets for the people around you, including yourself.

病从口入,祸从口出。你那无心的字眼也许会造成别人内心永远的痛。奉劝你一句;三思而后行
