<Bliss Meeting Notice> “Tailor Your Own Song” by Diana on March 23, 2019 & 0316 Recap & 3/30 Q1 Outing

My Dear Blissers,

We are born to love music even in mothers’ wombs, deeply immersed in lovely heartbeats and soft water flow! The experience so much influences us before we know!

Definitely we will agree:

Where words fail, music speaks by Hans Christian Andersen.

Today, we are so much pleased to have Professional Musician, Diana, guide us how to express the feelings of our own, hopefully letting out others’ emotion while listening to ours!

Composing (Writing) your own songs in Bliss is so Fun and Aspiring!

Without further delay, here is what she says:

Meeting Started...

Our handsome and pop culture professional, Carmelo, arrived punctually, presented his well-prepared movie clips and proceeded the meeting smoothly as scheduled.

MCU Timeline

MCU movies starting in 2018, and in 2012 released the assemble of heroes first time on the screen resolving the problems via team work, which took the world by storm till now, become a monopoly!

The reasons of watching MCU movies

After watching some classic scenes and sharing’s, we learned why MCU movies have always been a box-office guarantee: advocating the values of courage, honor, sacrifice, exposing hi-tech weapons, dazzling fighting scenes, Gender equality, and so on.

Conspiracy Theorists

Host Carmelo shared the legend Illuminati and Freemasons which have been mysterious fraternity organizations. He even showed us the astonishing evidences shown on the back of one-dollar US Dollar!

Nowadays still many Americans believe the existence of such Powerful Underground Kingdom(s), the lurking control over us, via Rola’ algorithm to monitor through emails, phone calls, networks or the academic records of outstanding undergraduates to smash those standing in their ways!

”Elites “are making this world a better place?

Yes and No. There is always relative resistance between bright and dark powers in movies or reality.

Although both aim to better the world, they hold different basic argument on whether human beings should be totally controlled and the freedom of choices can be allowed?

What MCU inspired us besides Superheros:

• Self-awareness on the deprivation of the freedom:

One should stand out and defend for Freedom as quoted from the Steve Rogers starring Captain America: the price of freedom is high. I am willing to pay for it and I believe I am not the only one to take!

• Persistence to choose right from wrong once for all:

Daring and righteous to do it without hesitation as Steve Rogers insist to smash the Old Shield Base and Intercept the launch of Project Insight!

Meaningful Life

The attendees under Carmelo’s guidance express the following concept of their own:  to share what I know, to service the world, to better myself, to live to the fullest!

Critical thinking

As we might be the victims of social media and networking systems, the attendees suggest the following: to read different information sources even from foreign websites, to distinguish the true information among the emotion-provoked, biased information.

Also be careful to spread the information or viewpoints before total understanding of it in fear of being the intensive ones’ tools.

Attendee’s feedback:

As expected, Carmelo’s meetings always blew our minds and lead us to discover a whole new world. To be honest, I'm never a fan of those super hero movies, and the host really introduces a great one to us and broke our stereotypes toward this type of movies!

We can feel Carmelo’s passion toward the world and his own life!

Host’s Feedback:

I hope this topic would arouse you guys pay some attention on Marvel Cinematic universe movies and the themes hidden!

Reflections:

That was a very refreshing meeting in which we exchange our ideas toward the movies and lives. “Birds of a feather flock together” is so true to Blissers, the same passions to enrich our lives via different perspectives sharing and presentation to bring us here and work together for better world!  Stay tune!
