Our Dearest Encyclopedia and Shakespeare

I'm trying to be a bit serious right now.


But before, talking about seriousness, I hardly able to be. I'm just this wisecracking, fun-loving, cheerful in an idiotic way kid. And beside, why should we be serious when we should not be serious?


So I have encountered a failure; yet again.


My memory suddenly recalled a moment when I was in a sick. It was measles. Or chicken pox. I doubt my memory, but I think it was measles.


Just assume it was measles. The story goes like this: My brother got the illness first. I did not know what, but Mum desperately tried to separate me from this 3 years-older-than-me boy. What I know is that two or three days later, I got the same illness.


What's good from being ill together is that we should worry not to be contracted by others. In fact, we spent a week playing together, sitting on the couch, holding the gamepad, staring at the television. In the whole one week. Mum took care of us (You should know that a person that had ever got measles cannot get another one; you should have known), and in around a week, both of us got free from the illness.


Quoting from our dearest Encyclopedia:


"Measles (sometimes known as English Measles) is spread through respiration (contact with fluids from an infected person's nose and mouth, either directly or through aerosol transmission), and is highly contagious—90% of people without immunity sharing a house with an infected person will catch it. The infection has an average incubation period of 14 days (range 6–19 days) and infectivity lasts from 2–4 days prior, until 2–5 days following the onset of the rash (i.e. 4–9 days infectivity in total)."


So, my deduction is, since we lived in one same house, and the measles spread through air, it was likely for me to be contradicted.


And we presume that talk above is a serious thing (Isn't it?). So back to what I was talking before, my reason to not being so serious is that; we shall enjoy live. Serious means we think hardly; means we extort our deepest mind. Being fun means we enjoy this life; even if it is to cover a sadness within.


As what people quoted:

"Life is like a coin. You can spend it any way you wish, but you only spend it once."

- Lillian Dickson

"The healthiest response to life is joy."

- Deepak Chopra

"Just living is not enough. One must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower."

- Hans Christian Andersen

And the flower should be what we call as 'fun', and since life is too precious to waste, let us spend it with joy. 

And our dearest Shakespeare said:

"There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy."

I swear I don't know who Horatio is. I don't even read Hamlet. But I'd rather look for unique things on this world rather than send out some phylosophical sentences.

Way to go, Shakespeare.
