counting down the weeks...
count the weeks... not many left, is there. and i already see the tests looming in the background. studying solo... is hell. but i highly doubt i'll be able to get anyone to mug with me this time though. usually it's more fun than mug depending on the people.
remember the old saying that geniuses have it the hardest? not that difficult to find the examples. they're all over in history and present, even. or rather, there's a nicer name called "eccentric" nowadays. nobody ever wonders why, do they? well, just as a personal opinion, i think it works both ways. geniuses see the world in a different way. simply put they're the mental cases that succeeded. so just as they don't see the world the way we do, the rest of us can't see the world the way they do. it's this conflict of views that make them outcasts, is it not?
...
was reading today's (sunday's) paper, and there was rather a full-length report on cyber-posting and stuff. i wasn't exactly surprised that the most important things seemed to be status, and the way to get status online seems to be popularity and hits blah blah (i think the report summarizes it better than me).
which got me thinking... what exactly is it about popularity that is such an attraction? seems almost everyone here is caught up in that frenzy. note the word "almost". is it acceptance? status? influence? too many questions and too little answers... and the very people who can provide the answers, probably don't have them.
...
another thing about today's paper is the report about letting people coming into your house. depends on the tack, i guess. the ruse used in this case was that they needed to use the toilet. ok, that was an example. point is would you go out of your way to help others?
one year ago if you asked me that question, it would have been a very quick and definite "yes". half a year ago i would say "depends on the situation" but most likely still a yes. if you ask me now though, it's going to be an absolute "no". i was the one who stated that "people are scum" so why should i be helping scum? the absolute truth about humankind is that false pretences or whatever that we keep up, at the end of the day we're still very much alone.
just think about it this way. if one day you lost everything, every single thing. no future, no assets, no nothing. family aside, who would come to your aid? think carefully before answering. the number of times that people i thought were friends have turned out not to be, well more than enough to prove my point already...
...
i still remember my GP essay, when i argued for women being better than men at politics. how could they not? everything on my essay is just the bits i had to add to support my stand, but the absolute, blunt and bitter truth, i couldn't put it in. and that is the simple fact that they're everyday life is strewn with politics. i'm not kidding. the amount of politics the average girl goes through in a day is like more than enough to kill my brain trying to guess 1,001 things. from motives, to intentions, to underlying reasons, to pasts, to interests blah blah... i wouldn't survive a single week in their shoes...
...
and as usual, the quote for the week
"the true mark of high-level sentient life, is something or someone that praises and admires other people at least 3 times a day, while atthe same time ridiculing it/him/herself at least 3 times a day"
