sometimes life seems so mundane and uninteresting. and you seem like one of those innocent untainted kids. so much so when you look at the life of another, you will tend to wonder what went wrong in the middle. the actions they do seem so disapproving, the kind you feel as though they seek attention and warmth. its the distance that makes you feel as though you are watching a movie. the detached feeling that makes you feel pity and then you walk away as though it doesnt concern you at all. the times seem so far away. you feel the same deep inside; so intellectual yet wasting your life away.

super hectic week! very drained and tired. really need motivation to push myself forward:(
at least it's the end of all my competitions, one last prize presentation next week at A*STAR but have to miss lessons again... hope i can catch up:( im so demoralised and as much as I try to push myself, i cant help but plop into bed early each night. means i cant get much done.
anyway, well done to all PEians! I think everyone did very very well and put in a lot of effort and time to make their projects a success! haha and all the best to Denise's group for their next stage of NWS:) jiayou!

I read an article from the Straits Times on 'the end of philosophy' by David Brooks and I would like to draw some quotes from it.
According to the article, 'it has been hard to find any correlation between moral reasoning and proactive moral behaviour, such as helping other people'. So most of the time we do not really think before we behave because it is inert within us and this also leads to moral judgement were we judge people based on our moral ethics. If the basis for all moral ethics are different, is it right for us to judge people and is that the reason were we come to a common consensus to be judged under the rule of the law?
However I do feel that our moral thinking is constantly shaped by what we see, and our experiences. This forms a basis for moral judgement and what we feel is right or wrong. When we do that, we are unconsciously having a preference for a certain doing. This leads to us adopting the particular action. This brings about to sensitive issues with regards to moral ethics like stem cell research and organ trading. Stem cell research especially as it also deals with religion. In this case, key leadership roles determine the legalising of stem cell research. Of course, legalising stem cell research is much more than moral thinking, it also brings about moral reasoning.
Jonathan Haidt of the University of Virgina wrote:" The emotions are in fact in charge of temple of morality and...moral reasoning is really just a servant masquerading as a high priest." However, even though most of the time emotions precede over moral reasoning, in the most imprtant decisions, ' we do use reason to override moral intuition.'
However it should not be an excuse that we blame our emotions for the behaviour we exhibit then attempt to use reasoning to cover it up. For some of the most important decisions in our life, regret is not an option because moral reasoning precedes.
