We have always been told to pursue the things we are passionate about- it is our right as individuals. But in real life, not many people do. If it means pursuing your own dreams will somehow effect the happiness of others as a whole, would the happiness you gain from pursuing what you want cover the guilt and consequences you have to bear?
We have always been told to be nice. But we have never been told that being nice, although might be the right thing to do, is hardly always the smart thing to do. So people are always left with the same age old dilemma: do the right thing that is so absofuckinglutely dumb or do the smart BUT horrible thing?
We have always been told that money is not everything. But then when we switch on our tv we see flo rida sitting in his sport car with barely naked ladies dancing around fanning their double Ds with thick wads of cash. And we think hmmm. Then we switch channels and you see the pope walking around in his pair of red prada. What are they trying to tell us?? What?
We have always been told that looks do not matter. The truth is that,hot looking people get away with so much more than plain janes of the world. Not to say that society is entirely shallow, brains do matter to a certain extent. If you have brains to go with the looks, you can get away with a murder or two. Or three, if that pleases you sir.
We have always been told to always respect our elders, their opinions and actions. But then god never made humans in the way that only the responsible are only able to breed.
We live by the laws governed by our countries, we live by the rules our parents have brought us up with, we live by the rules society has set on us and the opinions our peers have towards us.
In life, so many things.. so many rules are stupid and they dont apply, but yet we follow them anyway. Its like those times when you are stuck at an empty junction and the light is red. You know its stupid to wait because the road is empty, but you pull the handbreak anyway, all the while silently cursing the hidden camera. But you abide.
HAHA I shall abruptly end this now.
Sorry this is awkward for you as it is for me.
It feels good to finally write something.
Relevant or not.
Cheers.

People who came out with full-of-assumptions economic theories are actually Nobel prize winners.
A perfect life comes with assumptions.
I assume that I have the freedom to do anything I like, I assume I am rich and so on.
My life is perfect with irrelevant assumptions, ceteris paribus.
personally, i value contentment more than perfection. Much more achievable eh? :)
after all,so many people get so jaded chasing after what they think is perfection..
ya ampun mei kay my sayang,
so many rants all condensed like that.
i missed you lah.
I value the quality of my rants, not quantity.
Missed you too dear, bila balik kl hubung saya k :)
