RSS Feed (xml)Friday evening and i am in a dilemma now. If i watch movie, i am gonna sleep at 2 am and tomorrow i need to wake up early for college day. But if i don't do anything, i will mug but it s so not fun. So i decide to blog. And thus here comes the hottest news in the boarding school. Ghost story. The news has been spread for a week or more and many have "witnessed" ghost appearance currently.
But this post is not for the purpose of spreading this news to the outside of boarding school but rather i want to discuss what should be the right attitude dealing with ghost. For your information, this topic was center of discussion during my last GP tutorial with Mr.Ng Poh ( i think :)
Normally people are scared of ghosts and so am i because I had experienced with ghost before. It was not comfortable of course. For those who have seen ghost, ask yourselves if fear arose in your feeling at that moment and compare that to your imagination of ghost. For those who have not done so, ask yourselves if your fear is coming from your own imagination. My point is that our fear comes from our imagination which creates cruel and disgusting scenes of ghosts tormenting our soul and torturing our flesh ... But you know in real it is not actually the case. There might be good ghost, for example, if the spirit of a family member who passed away came back for you, would you feel that spirit may harm you? A weak subconscious mind often biases their view of ghosts with negative imagination, and thus when fear comes, they couldn’t stand it.
So what should you feel then? I think we should question our sense of belonging if we saw a ghost. It is definitely true that ghost comes from our world, but once they are ghost, they are no longer belonging to our world (they belong to some spiritual world). Rarely we see people from another world and when we do, we wonder if we are living in our world or their world (subconscious mind which is the only thing capable of connecting two worlds tells us to). There are probably two cases. They are in the world or we are in our world. The first case is more probable because until now scientists find no way to escape our world. Ghost, under an unknown spiritual form, might. Even if they might, they come by chances. If not, we will see ghost every time and everywhere perhaps. Eventually they do not belong here so they should leave but shall we provide them a good reason to leave? Yes we should. Imagine now you meet another person by chance and that person in any way has impressed you, will you want to follow him and get to know him if you haven’t had a chance to do so? Similarly, ghost might be impressed by your appearance and most likely, they will follow you to get to know who you are before they leave. This makes our fear grow even larger. Therefore, to avoid it, from the beginning you should clarify that “THIS IS NOT WHERE YOU BELONG, COME BACK TO WHERE YOU ARE FROM PLEASE!”
INTERESTING GHOST STORY:
During NS, soldiers need to camp in the forest where all the myths or rumors may come true. They have to march at night and normally they do a roll call every 30 mins because it is so dark and they are afraid that someone will be left behind.
In this platoon of 25 soldiers, they marched deep into the forest. The captain shouts:
- Stop, roll call from 1 to 25.
- 1,2,3,…,23,24,25,26
And they march on because the number is greater than 25. It meant who are supposed to be present are present. One extra is not a matter. 30 min later, the captain again shouts:
- Stop, roll call from 1 to 25.
- 1, 2, 3… 23, 24.
They all are shocked because one soldier goes missing. They stop and search the forest for him but it was 3 weeks later his body is found in front of the caves besides the river. It is so scary that all of his internal organs have been taken out, washed and put neatly in a row of 24. The body is counted as 25th piece.
