From the frequency of the past few posts, can tell that I've been in the blogging mood nowadays. Think 'cos the spring break mode has started since my wisconsin trip (people are scolding me for saying that 'cos alot of my friends are still mugging away, eg. Yee Lin still has an exam tomorrow *oops*)
Went to Angela's blog, and heard this song 《少年》 by 光良. Was struck by a particular verse:
"那是我们都回不去的从前 幸好还可以坚持当时的信念 世界尝试改变 当初的那个少年 "
Which brings me to thinking about the dreams I've had. In primary school, I wanted to be a lawyer, later in sec school, a psychatrist (though I didn't know the difference between a psychatrist and a psychologist then). When I realized there were classmates who wanted to be psychatrists as well, I decided maybe I want to be a forensic scientist. After realizing how much I dislike studying biology, I decided I want to be a rich man's wife. Haha~ Then can lead my tai tai life, open Bengawan Dua with Siewlian and enjoy high tea everyday. Plus of course, losing weight through Adonis and Mary Chia without having to go through dieting. Going into JC, I figured I really want my own business, and that I can relate to people relatively well, so I landed myself to where I am now - studying business, with a marketing focus. (Though I still don't mind to become a rich man's wife =P)
Come to think of it, how much of ourselves is moulded by the society? Is it a good thing or a bad one? Looking at some of those marginalized by the society; we discriminate them because they do not conform. Yet within ourselves, we lament how we become the slaves of the society. Isn't that paradoxical? It's some kind of viscious cycle out there; when u even try to get out of it, u'll be slammed down immediately, blogs for one. When you try to say something which you really think, you get negative feedback from others, to put it mildly. It can be blown up and there goes a friend. *sigh*
Why can't people accept one another for who they are? Was telling Shan Qing, in the buddhist teachings, there are people in this world whom you've got affinity for. Which I feel, explains why there are just some people whom you can 'click' more with while others whom at the first sight you know he/she's going to be just an acquaintance. Similarly, there are some people who can change certain people and vice versa. So if u feel u're not the one, then be it, accept the differences, we're all brought up differently, what I've thought is the 'right way of doing things', may not be the same for you. No point forcing your viewpoints on others; you can talk about the differences, yes, but what's the point of forcing people to think the same way as you? It's just different, period.
Think I'm going in circles. Well, to sum it up, I don't believe being confrontational solves everything. If you really want to discuss things, make sure that both sides are open minded enough, and the tone is really important too. Basically it's a test of EQ as well, when you discuss about differences. Some people may think that it's better to thrash things out, but it really really takes a very strong friendship to withstand that.
