short note: 2 more weeks.
Something that bothers me lately is how some people always have a certain expectation that everyone has the same mind set and ability as themselves. These so called 'perfect people' imagine a world that orbits by a set of rules set by a standard that is to others unrealistic and uneducated, a world with the standard of Hollywood movies and/or reality television.
For example those with higher education will (sometimes if not always) look down on those that fail to pursue higher education. They scorn what these people do and laugh at their ridiculous-ness and failure to conform to social norm. I am not excluded from such thoughts but i am often reminded that not many of us are fortunate enough to go far, or fortunate enough to have the necessary materials to stand to the same standard that the world expects them to be in. They are not a misfit fit to be ridiculed.
Observing and listening has led me to the conclusion that we human are not equal to one another; contrary to what we were led to believe. We do not have the same ability nor the same intelligence level from the moment of birth. There are just too many variables that can change the development of our mind from even before we were born. To expect all of us to act the same way is nothing but a wishful thought.
Our differences is what made us special. A world filled with strength and weaknesses that counterbalance one another is what bond us together as one. I learn some very interesting things from people that I do not understand. People that do not conform to social norm, those that rebel and the eccentric ones, people who are pushed down by society. These people have interesting insight on how the world revolve. Not some wishful utopia that most of us wish to live in but the cruel reality that we won't except. And what puzzle me the most is they are usually more contented with the world than most.
It is like waiting for the world to change, when it is up to oneself to change the world.
