erm long time have not been blogging. since now i am more free, i shallpost regularly, to do elijah and other ppl who have supported me in this blog justice.haha. erm. O levels was realeased last friday and many of the ppl i know did very well. my secondary school principal was over the moon and she kept cheering for the pupils who did well. admist all the happiness about gd results and bright future, a sudden chill and despondent ran through my heart. we Have put so much focus on results and intelligence. our society is an elistic one, talking all day about doing well, being the top, and it favours those who are in the "higher class". everybody talks about As and distinction. for me, i cant help but feel a sudden sense of sadness overwhelm my heart, we HAve been so focus on getting gd results, gaining fame, winning glory that we HAve become in a way cold in our heart and we forget about our personal values. when we want to do well, we are not really keen learners, but instead, we are ppl who have a hunger of pride in us that we want to fufill, we need personal glory and personal achivement, we want to be on par on others, we want to win others, and in this elitics society we HAve become more and more selfish. MONEY. SUCCESS . GOOD GRADE. there is no way these can fit themselves into a perfect chord with love for ppl. how can u not be selfish when u want to win others? what about those who do not do as well? are they less intelligent than others and therefore not deserving of equality in the eyes of society? does a high ranking CEO worth more than everybody else?...........to be continued |
