To boldly go where no man has gone before
A phrase that I must agree with. This phrase is part of a core phrase that drives the United Federation of Planets in the series Star Trek. The full phrase is as such: 'Space... the Final Frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its five-year mission: to explore strange new worlds; to seek out new life and new civilizations; to boldly go where no man has gone before.' Well of course in today's world, space should not be our final frontier but it should be the strive for peace, stability and the ability to surpass our limits through healthy and fair means. Our phrase in life should be: 'human limits... the Final Frontier. This is the goal of the human race. Its life-long mission: to encourage and materialise eternal peace; to ensure stability in all affairs; to enable the growth beyond the human limit through fair and healthy competition and means; to boldly go where no man has gone before.' This should be our driving phrase that we should adopt. We must remember that in today's world of suffering due to war and other acts of violence, a need for peace is not just required, it's neccesery if we are to live on in this world. Cause I definately do not want to live in a world full of hate, strife and turmoil everyday.
Anyway, since we are speaking about the star trek phrases I must mention that I just watched the new Star Trek movie today. Well all in all I must say that for a Star Trek movie, it did pretty well. Considering that it took out most of the original elements of the Star Trek series so as to enable normal people to understand it. The story depicts the prequel to The Original Series and how Captain James T Kirk came into commanding the Starship Enterprise and how he came to form his legendary crew with whom he will make bonds for life. Particularly that of Spock, his first officer and the only true friend of that half Vulcan half human. Well here is a poster of it:
For those of you who are not Trekkies, I must recommend that you watch this show. This show serves as a good representation of the whole series till date. For those who are not Trekkies but love science fiction, this is also a good movie for you. For the Trekkies, don't miss this movie. It will be a sin if you do.
Well that all for today. Will be getting back to this after my mid-years. So this will be me saying: may you live long and prosper
and may you go where no man has gone before.
