Yes/No/WTF?....what do you think?or does your inseparable-partner think? Not spouse, i mean, your brain...( because its inseparable from you).
.......................
First,
Let me ask you-which one would you call ''the highest-ranking '' social animal of these following?
- Doctor
- Engineer
-Scientist
- politician
-Top government official
- businessmen/women
- police
-pilot and etc; etc;
Second,
Why don't Asian parents [ or maybe westerners also,i'm not sure] think beyond these damnable professions? for their forced-to-be-faithful-for-life-like-a-dog sons and daughters.

Well, i haven't done any thesis, but in my own private hypothesis, the answer to both of the above questions is that : basically, the ordinary or the average human mind thinks that doctors and or all those white-collar job holders are prestigious; they lead you to the top of Mount Everest. You shine like a diamond and you will be equivalent to a 24-karat-gold. What more could you ask for? How about being a primary-school teacher ? or a modern-tech-equipped farmer of a thousand acres of land? No, an average-mind cannot dare to imagine being a mere school teacher or a farmer. That would be officially mortifying.
Ugh!!!As if being a doctor,tonnes of rice grains will automatically be filled up in the sacks of your food store. Lets put it simply this way,
A Leader has to eat.
A doctor has to eat.
A teacher has to eat.
A farmer has to eat.
A rickshaw driver has to eat.
A beggar has to eat.
A burglar has to eat.
A murderer has to eat.
Whatever,whoever we are, we have to eat. E A T -eat. We have to eat because we need energy,and because without energy we are weak and HUNGRY. Thats a universal truth ( unless you are an extraterrestrial) . And whats that ,that goes h u n g r y- hungry???
Obviously , the stomach. Pat,pat,pat.
(Although, the brain has a big role to making the stomach one rebellious warrior ,lets not talk about anatomy and physiology stuffs here. I aim solely to talk about the stomach alone.)
... The doctor with miraculous hands and millions of fortune floating in his or her eyes has that stomach, aka tummy, belly. So does the twenty four hour- plotting-bloody-scheming politician. And so does the head-to-toe-ragged beggar with a zero fortune. Whatever ,whoever they are, they are all some bred-to-be-hungry species out of many that exist on earth. They might say '' healing people who have broken their three hundred six bones'' is their destiny; ''Serving the nation jammed with assassins and martyrs '' is their destiny; or '' Lying on the road awaiting for death'' is their destiny......At the end, whatever they do,the reason or destiny behind their commitment is very very very simple : drop a grain in their aching,growling tummy.
A hungry doctor will shut down the clinic ; a hungry minister will deduce his/her twenty four hour dedication-to-the-nation to a mere two or three hours; a hungry vagrant will stop wandering and change him or herself into a slayer ( identity change) . .......
Even the most powerful man on Earth Barrack Obama eats to pacify his belly. Just because he is the president of the United States of America doesn't mean he is a unique species; No, he won't drop missiles and nuclear bombs in his belly . He is just as ordinary as i am, and needs to eat just like anyone of the starving-to-death skeleton-like child in some African nations.
If only this ''stomach'' didn't exist, you and i wouldn't have to do that daily/weekly/monthly grocery shopping ( of food). I don't know in what way you invest for your belly, but as for myself, i don't do that maddening grocery shopping. It is, for me, more complicated than proving that Pythagoras' Theorem ( reminding you of geometrical maths). Hence, i often curse this vicious organ i posses. I simply dine out. Easy. But not that easy for those unfortunate people of Dr Congo or Ethiopia where hungry people wage war against hungry people. Ah! why am i looking that far ? I can see lots of poor people in Hong Kong itself scavenging in the garbage piles. My God! the very sight sickens me near to vomiting.And imagine how much curse they must have sworn against the government.
Evidently, there would be peace if this ''thing'' didn't exist. Well, yes there would be peace . Let me remind you once again that its my private hypothesis. The root cause of all these turmoils -wars,conflict-is very apparent. High or low profile men or women. Bloody history or just a story. The ''stomach'' is invisibly out there to be the cause.
Accuse the slain ( or living who knows) Osama Bin laden as a terrorist, he was a global enemy. But before him, there was and will always be one eternal enemy to all :
The stomach. Conquer it.
