[corrected] The S3 or iPhone 5?


TOO many people are arguing which one is better. Hey guys just deal with the fact. BOTH are great phones. The matter is not that what is better but what suits you better.

Before you go arguing with people, think twice. We are living in a big world and there are so many ways to live or think. When you can understand another person, you might see something more.

I just watched a video '아시아의 열대 - 2부 까로의 슬픈열대(The tropics in Asia - #2 Caro's The Blue Tropic)'

It showed the people who live in the tropical region of Indonesia. Some of them live in a sort of modern village; some of them are still live in sort of traditional places in traditional ways. The latter barely wear clothes and sometimes they get married in the traditional way for the money from travellers. One of their customs is that women cut off a finger when their husbands die. One of them has got only one finger on one hand. They said say 'it's a way of sharing their condolences for the loss of their men. They also cut the edge of their ears when they lose their cousins - I can’t remember exactly. Some says 'What the hell are they doing in there?', 'It's unbelievable that they and we are living in the same time as us,' or just... 'Oh, dear...'

Well, should we have sympathy for them? Are they really living worse-off than us? For sure, it could be horrible if those things happen in the world you and I live in. But it's not. I don’t criticise for this fact. But I think I’m pretty critical of those who say bluh bluh bluh. We are all human beings. We just live in a different situation, environment, or something like that. Every single person – or even a thing - has its own way to of living / surviving / enjoying their lives. NO ONE should ever judge another. Just face the truth and accept it.

When I was watching it, I was just pleased to see them smiling at each other, worrying about their kids, doing some embarrassing things for the money which would be given for their children's study abroad. I could feel the warm heart of the parents and once again, I could see that a smile makes someone else smile. We are living in the SAME world in the same way but in a slightly (actually a bit more) different environment. We aren’t luckier than them. We are both lucky. We have parents and, children. At least we can smile :)

What I truly want to say is I believe we must just see the facts and not be biased. I know there are certainly cases where we must be biased but you know I’m not talking about such cases. Once you started to compare, you’ll be judged also one day.
