Christmas market

The Christmas market officially began yesterday!
This year the weather is much warmer, as I remembered I wore quite thick layers of clothes when I was going to the market last year. "The weather was due to plummet" after some heavy fog days in UK, reported by Metro.

So here's a few bits and pieces of the Christmas market:

We actually went to see our friend singing choir at one of the street for the opening of Bath Christmas market. The facial expression of the conductor was amazing and she was just so professional. The members of the choir look like a bunch of children obediently looking at the conductor and singing with the best of their male voices.

Lotsa booths have been set up selling a variety of antique and local things that we don't normally find in other places

Bought the favourite must-eat-nuts from the market - Chou chou!

We're entering the winter of the year now~

This is such a meaningful picture - the Paradigm!
We are always told and taught by our teachers, parents and society what's should be done and what's not.
What mistakes that we should avoid and learn from the past. But sometimes the reason behind was just forgotten and I just tend to follow it blindly, follow what other people are doing because what most people do will likely be the right thing to do. I'm too lazy to think why.

So, always questions ourselves, why are we doing each thing in our life? Why are we doing it in this way and not that? Do we truly understand why are we following certain tradition?

This reminds me of the Rancho in Three Idiots, who can always come out of the paradigm of the society.

Kalama sutta says, do not believe anything that is written on the paper or told by even our teachers. Ehipassiko, we have to find it out by ourselves. Throw away the laziness of reasoning and searching your own way and don't do it because it is easy or it's something our closest friends do.

The life is ours, we have the total authority on deciding what colours should be painted on it.
