When I setup this website, I thought about sharing things and wonderful experiences I encounter. After meditating for a while this year 2025, I thought "seeing things" could also involve reading about others' experiences, or things that I read or watch.
Hence the expansion of my scope to not only includes experiences and travel but also things that touch my heart.
There are 2 things that I have experienced lately that I meditate about.
1. The meaning of existence, from the writing of mangaka Togashi. In his manga and later anime adaptation, Hunter X Hunter, the meaning of existence is heavily explored. About maturing and changing character through story development. About villains and whether the villains and monsters are really worse than human kind. About the meaning of power, whether the strongest being in the world, choose to conquer the world as the meaning on why they are born. About loyalty and family kinship. About choices in life.
2. The beautiful story writing and touching plot, whether they can come from many cultures, written by US media, Japanese manga and anime, or Chinese games. And whether the medium has evolved, from oral story telling, to movies and music lyrics, and now through games. Game like Genshin Impact is suffused with beautiful story, such as Sumeru Archon arc who asked whether remembrance equals to history. About memories and soul in Natlan arc and the story of the Captain.
