This is what you get when you drop 9 nuclear bombs on a Starcraft Terran base. An overkill, I know. But, nevertheless, reminds us of the destructive power of the atomic bomb which the US planted on Hiroshima, Japan.

"Humane"

Have you ever pondered over the word "humane"? You might think: "What a stupid waste of my time thinking about this insignificant word." But, actually, to me, this word sparked quite a few ideas.

According to the Oxford English of Dictionary,

Humane (adjective)
1 Having or showing compassion or benevolence

ORIGIN
Late middle English: the earlier form of HUMAN, restricted to the senses above in the 18th century.

Now, what am I trying to prove? You see, the word "humane" originates from the word "human", which in turn has the meaning of having or showing compassion. Aren't we being a bit too egoistical and self-glorifying by having a word named after our race/species to bear such definition? You mean, we actually had a specific word originating from the word "human", which is our race/species, to mean "having compassion"? I mean, what is this man? We're getting way over ourselves =.=" We are practically self-praising ourselves, saying that we are a compassionate race/species by default? Then what's with all the acts of terrorism, the outbreaks of wars and civil wars, the clashing of prejudices and the merciless killings that take place every second of our lives? HUMANE => HUMAN => COMPASSION. Just wow.

Why does it HAVE to be the word humane to mean having compassion or benevolence? Why not bird-ane or maybe fish-ane to mean having compassion? Most of all, we are the worst example to be labelled as compassionate...

Anyways, just a thought. Oh yeah, if you think this is bull-crap then too bad. Any comments, please say.
I haven't done a proper introduction, so here it is. This new blog is a merge of all the blogs which I had thus far, which are my art blog and hamster blog. However, this new blog will feature EVERYTHING now. Anything I want to post comes here, regardless of art, hamster, documentary or just some random topic. If you feel offended, don't be, because I speak nothing but the truth - so face it, or nothing but my opinions - so deal with it. I guess I will be talking more about my life, my observations of life, or even just random stuffs etc. If you're curious about my older blog posts from the old blogs, here are the links:
