Or was it a course "how to let others fish for you"?<br /><br />With humility, finance professors are wrong. The market is not efficient. <br /><br />Singapore Man of Leisurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13774067113884418001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6897513886211197509.post-90244411940255848002013-03-02T16:08:33.597+08:002013-03-02T16:08:33.597+08:00Hi plumerainbow!

Bingo!
If only the meerkats were women. ...Ronian,<br /><br />Bingo!<br /><br />If only the meerkats were women. <br /><br />My life for a night with a thousand virgins? I'll gladly let the island take me. My life for you!<br /><br />Like the cherry blossom, I would have fulfilled my "matrix program" in a burst of colour! <br /><br />Never mind the fleeting brilliance is but a foreshadow of the petals shower dance. Even in decline, I'll still make the girls go sigh... <br /><br />May we both find our promised land ;)Singapore Man of Leisurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13774067113884418001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6897513886211197509.post-893697299516420232013-03-02T11:53:10.565+08:002013-03-02T11:53:10.565+08:00Haha :-) Hi Jarred!

Hmm...I don't know what I would have done. Sleep on the trees to avoid being eaten at night and roast some meerkats during the day for food? Or leave the island completely and hope to find "real" land eventually? Good question. But there were no women on the island. So maybe leaving it was a good idea ;-)<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />Ronian Ronian Siewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15974394596128500332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6897513886211197509.post-42877663596728708142013-03-02T10:06:44.082+08:002013-03-02T10:06:44.082+08:00Hi SMOL!

For me it was how a young boy managed to survive against all odds, perhaps with the possibility of unthinkable violence - we would never know and it's not important because that's not the point of the story. What if we were in Pi's shoes? What would we have done? Humanity's code of convention has its limitations. In forming our worldview - whether we call it morality, philosophy, religion, faith - a tempered view is more compassionate than an absolutist one. <br />I think everyone takes something from the story.
