For the first time..
I actually have difficulty express myself here.
o.O
Yeah!
You can give me that look..Xp
There's too much happening today,
We had a seminar during our History lesson today..
And it was really good.
I liked what Neesha did for the Enlightment Period..
And there's this guy..
(can't remember his name)
The guy who sorta has a heavy indian accent,
And I love teasing him for that..Xp
He did something on Issac Newton,
And I must say he did a good job in that..
Anyway,
The Enlightment subject is what attracts me the most,
Cause it sorta gave me answers to certain things that I've been thinking about..
Bout condoning or not to,
Moving out from your comfort zone,
The risk,
Lazyness,
Cowardy.
That one question Neesha asked us,
Do you think we've reached the Enlightment Period?
Immediately,
A big NO pops out from my mind..
With so many ignorant people I've came across with,
People who doesn't want changes,
And always wanted to stick to the same old thing,
Authoritarian system,
Same old education system,
Some traditional kinda views..
Risk taking..
Where we have people BLINDLY condone to what they are being asked to do..
It makes a lot of sense,
The discussion we had,
Earnest and I had a discussion about what our parents want us to do,
The old generation expects from us and stuff..
Then Mr Hanna point out that word,
Which is courage,
The courage to take the risk and be different,
People laugh at you if you are different,
They sneered at your views and claimed that its "too deep" for them,
If you are passionate about something,
For instance,
I am into the women right's thing,
So whenever I defended the women in distress,
There'll definitely be some contemptible person around me,
Telling me that I am just being "all emotional"
My question..
How is it that you express your own views around some people,
You are asked to stop being "emotional",
When the fact is,
Such things are not meant to bë "emotional",
But its just the bitter reality,
That A LOT OF THEM AVOIDED taking the responsibility to create an awareness for that,
Then again,
Its always refreshing to have a group of,
INTELLECTUAL BUNCH OF PEOPLE,
Who listens to what you got to say,
And share something of what they think with you,
Instead of dismissing you like that,
Claiming that you are being "emotional"
At times,
I just want to snap at such people,
Asking them to stop being ignorant and selfish,
And start thinking for others instead of themselves...
Yes,
People are selfish by nature,
And you can't change yourself,
But you can change who you want to be!
And the Amnesty International Malaysia gave a talk in my campus today..
I attended the talk,
Again, the talk had something to do with the discussion we had today..
So it kept me busy for a while reflecting on that subject..
I am still trying to grasp the idea that,
There are a lot more ignorant people out there,
To accept such people is what I should do,
But at times,
I can't help hoping that,
There'll be more people who,
Perhaps..
Learn to get out of their little world they live in,
Start looking at the world generally,
And make themselves a better person living in this world.
*shrugs*
Not sure if its just me,
But I've met a lot of them who,
Just doesn't like changes,
Changes is something that can kill them,
They don't wanna take the risk,
They conform and condone,
Then if there's people who rebel,
You became an outcast.
So what are you?
A conformist?
Or you just think that sticking to what you are being asked to do,
Is the safest thing to do,
Since you are afraid of moving out of your comfort zone..
Then what's the purpose of you living??
For the girls,
They probably look forward to marry, have children and spend the rest of their life with their family..
What about the guys?
They will be hunting for their eligible wife to be to spend the rest of their life with them, have children or perhaps marry another few wives..
I don't have a problem with girls who are all eager to marry and stuff,
Sure,
A lot of them believe in those sloppy kinda fairy tales way of living,
Have a family,
Children..
Get old,
Living happily with the other half..
YAWN!
No improvements will be made.
If people are all happy living like that,
Human rights will be ditched,
Or just not being mentioned at all..
Perhaps it wouldn't exist..
If we have more of such people around..
PS : Surprisingly it didn't take me long to relent these out here(only took me 15 minutes). Now I gotta get back to studying.
