At this moment, my mind occupies with the script of a Hong Kong's drama named When Heaven Burns. After I watched a few episodes, I can't keep myself not to watch another episode. Frankly speaking, I do enjoy watching this drama not because of cannibalization upon a human but the storyline of this drama. I want to give a round of applause to all the actors and actresses for their professional in acting.

My craps
From this drama, I learned that the feeling of guilt is the greater pain then losing valuable thing or hatred .Guilt may follow the rest of your life. On the other hand, Losing valuable things are much easier to forget once found a replacement. That is way, human tends to find a way to make themselves feel better such as repent , refused to remember what had happened , doing charity, covering the truth by telling endless lie, keep on doing the wrong things, cover up his mistake by blaming , trying to manipulate others. If not , the feeling of guilt will come and play its role . Sometimes, getting forgiveness would reduce the guilt . Even getting punished , some people still can't forgive themselves and keep on living in feeling guilty. If a person can't repent/forgive himself, he would live in the prison of guilt. I used to torture myself in order myself feel better . Not going to share how I torture myself . In conclusion, feeling of guilt is the most torturing punishment in life.
People who are getting hurt. In better words to describe, I would use victim. In this drama, Yan is the one who is hurt for losing her bf and others suffers for the cannibalization act upon Ka Ming. People keep saying forgetting and forgiving is the only ways to release soul from hell. But how many people in this earth able to do so .Someone may end up revenge. People who get hurt or people who hurt may learn a lesson from an incident and change. Some may cut all the possible connections so that the hurt will be minimized .Some may become better or worse person .It is always a choice. People are forced to change because of an incident or certain reason .
'' Dear God, if you want me to love my enemies , please stop them from connecting me''
People using various method to forget things that had happened such as watching movies, drinking, reading , shopping and etc. This is a good way of escaping from remembering back .I used to forget by watching movies but it's just temporary so I tries others method like shopping and drinking but it just useless because it just can stand for a short period. Never let your anger conger you , if not you would end up suffering. Never lose hope because of an anger, people will never satisfy nor release after revenge instead people who live in a life of anger and revenge may end up losing a lot of valuable things in life. In addition, may end up living in a self-prison of sadness.
P/s : Better don't do something that is against human's law. Human should never look back instead of moving forward. Past is memory but not to ignore or escape.
