week 8 passes uneventfully...
this week's been a boring week. nothing much spectacular. that can be good, too. also means that nothign especially bad happens. not that it could get any worse after last week. i still can't really get over it, and i doubt i'm the only one. i'm still wondering why. i'm not one to lose temper easily, i usually hold it in quite well and even if i do lose it, it's usually a temporary thing and i get my calmness back quite quickly. just this time it's still lingering. why? it's not really like me, is it?...

what induces someone to give up everything for nothing? i have nothing to offer, no connections, no network to influential people, casted at the side as a renegade, and even blamed for any mishaps that happen. i've told you why being around me might make you lose some important things that weren't easy to come by. good support, plenty of opportunities and possibly light favourtism. and yet you say you don't care. that people's opinions aren't to be considered. what induces the decision to give up everything? i wish i knew the answer someday. never had anyone give up anything for me since i've ever known (except parents, but that's a given) so i'm really... somewhat moved, i guess. if it is sincere. sorry, i question motives everywhere i go now. if you'd led the life i did, i suppose you would, too.
...
i'm also beginning to wonder... why are so many people abandoning themselves? the many people that i see everyday, aren't their true selves. if it is their true selves, i shudder for the fate of humanity. it's like everyone's hiding behind a mask, showing others what others want to see, regardless of whether it's the right thing to do. is fame and popularity really that important in life? i've heard that to survive in this world that's the way we have to be. i refuse to acknowledge that. survival is high on the priority list, yes, but it cannot be placed higher than personal values and morals.

Quote of the week: "even if a person wins the nobel prize, even if he becomes the president of the united states, if he has lost his self-respect and personal values, in all of humanity he can only rank as last"
beautiful. unfortunately there are quite a few people who have lost their personal values, it seems. wait a minute, what am i talking about... you can't lose something you never had, now can you?
