INSIGHT ALERT
As i talk and read and understand, i become less of a believer. Ok mayb not less but then i began to question. What is with intellectuality, philosophy, pursuit of knowledge and excellence that people nowadays are so into. Are these qualities how we set about defining ourselves? or are these qualities what dilutes our identity? SO much so that everyone else is now in competition to learn, to know, to better and to become..
do we live for these so called qualities or do they manifest in us and society so much we become abhorent when we think it is missing within us and obnoxiously arrogant when we possess them. Granted im exaggerating the situation here a bit, but you get the drift.
We have 7 As students now trying to do some last minute community service to fluff up their resume, attachment stints jus so that they get to where they desire. WHAT..your IVY league, harvard, oxford, MIT and LSE. These supposed scholars are being churned out like some merhandise they lose their WOW aura like years like. It seems to me now that they are "transposed" frm being the creme de la creme to an ubiquitious bunch of bean sprouts.
Can we not live in an era of peace and harmony?haha. Of each individual striving to be his best, but not in relation to others. Of helping others but in an altruistic manner. To compete with others but in the name of fun and bonding. To live life not in obsession but in happiness for others as well as ur own.
What an irony it wld be now if one of you readers go to the library and borrow a book by aristotle or plato so as to understand about the phiosophy of happiness. HAHA
