Finally headed back to Kona, the Big Island in Hawaii to spend a month there for part of my summer holidays. I have not been back since the beginning of Covid but things are pretty much still the same on this remote island except it is now more expensive than ever before. Hey, its only money and I can’t take it with me when the time comes for me to go. As I said many times in the past, life is unpredictable and nothing lasts forever, I am just going to keep travelling and as a matter of fact, I will be back to Kona for Xmas and New Year. Although it is the peak season, the weather is much nicer and I have already reserved a much bigger and nicer condo in Waikoloa Village, a nice quiet community where I stayed every time I go. This condo is on the golf course with ocean view, a big kitchen, two bedrooms and two bathrooms with washer and dryer, satellite TV , wifi and fully furnished. Now I can’t wait to go back in December to experience the great Xmas atmosphere on the island.

I spent most of the time driving to different parts of the island for sightseeing while finding time to locate my friends and I was able to connect with all of them. ( All female friends)!! Hey, I am no pimp as they are just good friends without any intention to be permanently entangled with each other. I simply enjoyed the island for it is so relaxing and I hesitated to coming back to the bay area, so I decided to head back in December for 3 weeks, or maybe longer if I feel like not leaving the island!!!!!

I consider myself fortunate being able to get away from home to different parts of the world without any drama in my life. I had a miserable childhood, a horrific experience facing uncertainty during my late teen years to early adulthood due to the loss of my father, living like on a ship without a wheel lost in the big ocean. But somehow life turned around and it seemed like a miracle but most of my friends know that I don’t believe in it or any of the supernatural garbage including God!!!!! The only reality is that my father opened up the opportunity for me to study in United States, but his passing led me to struggle for existence without any help from United States. The way I look at it is that I don’t owe U.S anything as I have received no financial aids, social welfare, or unemployment from this country, only paying expensive foreign student tuition to finish college and I began working ever since by paying into social security and retirement system including taxes where those asshole billionaires often skipped. So I don’t feel like owing anything to this country but only to my father. I spent father’s day in Kona and again I thought to myself how proud he would be if he is still alive and I was able to tour him around the island. I know for sure he would be more pleased in Hawaii compare to the glamorous Las Vegas.

I also spent lots of time contemplating about the universe while I was vacationing in Hawaii this summer. This is what I do no matter where I travel to in the world. There are 3 items I am currently working on. 1) Why is there something rather than nothing? “Why” is a horrible word, ” How ” is much better for science cannot explain “why” as much as science cannot provide us with ” reasons”. Reasons imply purposes and purposes lead to designer meaning ” God” . Sorry, folks, this is a “godless” universe whether you like it or not!!!! 2) Is morality emerged or designed? The way I look at it is that we don’t need ” God” in order to have high moral standard. There’s plenty of evidence demonstrating non religious people can be good. Just take a look at those well documented accounts where the priests and pastors molesting young children. 3) Are we alone in this vast expanding universe? Can we ever be contacted by the aliens? Those 3 items will be discussed further in my next blog. Stay tuned!!!!!

As a son, I miss my father for his unconditioned love and care. But as a scientist, I don’t believe his soul is residing in some higher dimension watching out for me. He simply opened up the opportunity for me and I somehow made it worked to my best advantage along with some probabilistic luck along the way!!!!!
