Magic & Facts...

How does a man become matured? What must he go through in
order to gain maturity? Someone told me that a matured man
is someone who became world-weary, who is tired of
everything he sees. If that is maturity, I don't think I
want to grow up. In fact, I don't want to grow up. Qouting
from Eddie Vedder "I've traded magic for facts, no trade-
backs". I think he is trying to say that he have grown from
a child who believe in magic to an adult who only believe
in facts. Magic and facts are opposing each other. They can
never exist in the same plane. An adult would know that
Santa Claus and his team of elves and reindeer doesn't live
in the North Pole. And there is no rabbit or Chang-er
living on the moon. Come to think of it, technology is
revoking our magic. The famous giant step of mankind had
proven that. Sure, you can create soccerer, elves and
giants in 3D, but at the same time, you are destroying our
myth for them. By creating them using technology, we are
further proving and confirming their non-existence.

Falling in love is so magical. Do you wonder what makes it
magical? When couple divorce, do they simply hate each
other or is it because they have run out of magic? what
makes mushy words tingle in your heart? I believe that
teenage love are much sweeter than a pair that fall in love
in their mid-thirties. Because it's not about money. It's
more about faith and myth, just like magic. A child believe
in magic more than an adult. Which means that he has faith
in something that is unfathomable. When a couple gets
married, their chances of seeing each other increases. When
time goes by, you would know more and more about her;
unravelling her facts. You found out everything you wish to
know about her before you get married. Then you would wish
that you didn't. When facts increases, magic will decrease,
or shall i say, vanish.


This is when the love weakens, because love feeds on magic.
When a man knows more facts, he became more mature.
Maturity feeds on facts. Therefore a mature man will have
less love than a child. It makes sense that most of us love
babies, be it human, puppies or kittens. Babies are the
most ignorant of facts, which is to say that he has the
most powerful magic. This bountiful magic can feed plenty
of loves. That is the reason why babies are so well-loved.


While typing the part where I said a child have faith in
something that is unfathomable, I suddenly realise
something. I have always wondered what is the cause of our
existence. This is something unfathomable too. (I believe
in the big-bang theory btw, but that is another story.) By
searching for the truth, I am accepting facts.
Unconsiously, I am giving up my choice of NOT growing
up ;o....sad...


I dun wanna grow up cuz I'm a toy's'r'us kid....
