Ok, i know i am a bit too late to blog about action as i got my inspiration from the Ren Ci Show. And the show was like 2 weeks ago!?

Nevertheless, I do feel that human, including me enjoy action. A lot of people have questioned the need to use stunts and all to attract viewerships and donation. Would people donate if those artistes just stand on stage and sing songs or to cook some dish? I doubt.

From my point of view, human in general just like action , just suckers for action. Take going to zoo for example. Would you visit the zoo to see animals sleeping or eating grass?I doubt. Even the children would want to see how the crocodile feed on those bloody dead chicken. If human don't enjoy action or seeing people risking their lives, would the animal show showing those trainers putting their head into the crocodiles' mouth have full house and roaring applause??

Another example. During sports competition, people just roared when tennis players played for a 25 strokes rally. The longer and exciting the rally is, the louder the applause. The same rationale applies. People just love action! People would have throw rubbish at the players if they didn;t play their best and gave their minimum.

When our life got stale, we want to see some changes in life. When we are in school, we longed for working in the society, but when we worked for some time, we got bored and feel that school is the best. People just want some excitement in their life. That's why when they cannot do it themselves, they thoroughly enjoy themselves when someone else around them perform some stunts.

It's not everyday we get to see someone walking on a beam up on a 40 storey high building. When it happens, all of us just went hysterical. I am quite sure all of us were spurred by the action packed stunts to make a call, never mind S.H.E supposingly the most popular girl band around failed to stimulate the fone calls.

Just as what one of the Straits Times editor commented, that's life and that's how charities will function to raise funds. No choice. We all like action isn't it?
