No no, this is not gonna be a nasty and vulgar entry on my blog. Just pondering on how useful the modern day fork is in our daily lives, in fact, I face great difficulty eating (be it chicken rice, vegetable rice or even pasta) without a fork. The Fork, actually has a controversial history during the Victorian times, where it experienced the same amount of dispute as with today's issues of gay marriages or stem cell research.
At one time, this practice was primarily that of courtesans, prompting the Church to ban the fork as an immoral influence [Gruber]. "God in his wisdom has provided man with natural forks - his fingers. Therefore it is an insult to Him to substitute artificial metallic forks for them when eating."[Giblin]
This brings to mind two important lessons I learnt. In conjunction with PM Lee's "Every grain of sand/Singaporean matters" illustration during the National Day Rally, I believe everyone has a purpose on Earth and is important. It's just a matter of perspective of the attention he/she receives. E.g. A fork is more important than a knife or vice versa. Everyone who has come this far has a story to tell as well, and we must consciously make an effort not to judge others. The other noteworthy thing is the influence of human wisdom against the God's will. It is both amusing and appalling to think that people back then can believe it is ungodly to use a fork!! So, I guess we must constantly be examining what we are believing and not just do what others are doing or for the sake of doing. WE must not also fall into the herd mentality or the Emperor's New Clothes crowd who agreed the emperor was not naked! It definitely pays to stand strong - with wisdom of course!
Heavy eh? VJ Titanium will lighten things up with this sunshine tune by one of my first encounters with alternative rock music. Nothing heavy, promise... :) Third Eye Blind - Semi-Charmed Life

There is a thin line between being philosophical and smoky, and I am threading that very line...
