Foolishness is a moth who is flying into the fire without noticing because it is reckless and bold. I think this because while we do not see the presence of inherent danger, we are the fool. A moth will fly into the fire is because they navigate by the light, which only sun and moon can provide in ancient times. Since the development of humans and the development of lighting methods, moths, without realizing the sun is no longer the only light source, navigate them into the death. A fool will not notice his surroundings, unaware of the change, and unwitting the danger. Foolishness would like a man who's looking at sky and step right out of cliff unhesitantly. Reckless is death, and the old way is not always a safe choice.

Journal 5

Journal 5: WAR IS PEACE FREEDOM IS SLAVERY IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH Describe what these three statements mean and their contradictions. How would you rationalize these statements? War Is Peace is a slogan used by the Party, which first appeared in part 1 to describe a situation that a nation or a country will only be united with a common enemy. When a country is in constant conflict with an enemy, the party will gain justification for certain actions that are not plausible during the peace era and people's attention will deviate from the internal government to external intruders. With these conditions created, the people will be less likely to revolt and create a stable society, which is equal to "peace" in the party's definition. Secondly, the slogan Freedom Is Slavery means that any unsubordinated people in society will be eventually bounded to chaos.

A book that left a lasting impression is Moon and Sixpence by Somerset Maugham because this book argues the conflicts between materialism world and spiritual world. The protagonist is a British Stockbroker named Charles Strickland who has married for seventeen years and makes an impulse decision to go to Paris to be an artist. Throughout the book, the protagonist was struggling to escape from bondage of “sixpence”. Even though he is strong enough to ignore the fame and wealth, he was not able to reject his human instincts. This book made me ponder for a question: did I ignore the moon above me while I was looking for sixpences on the ground? Although I, as a student, do not have real concern toward material aspect of life, my pursuition and efforts are still focused on material gain. I was do...
