Annoyed. Plan on moving…

Friday, September 21st, 2007

Annoyed by the friendster blog when I just realised that older posts will not be viewable unless you go to the oldest post in the list, and click previous> previous>previous> and so on and so forth.  If you happen to know how to, do inform me. And I also cant seem to find where my photo albums are, that the only way I was able to access it was through the link I posted in my blog. Its all just so wierd to me. And so I don’t quite feel like blogging here no more. But then again, I’ve not been spending time on my new blog, which is still not quite done. I dont even know where to put it yet. Call me lazy, call my indecisive. >.< Yeah…I’m like that.

Lifes…. been alittle awkward lately. Awkward things happen, but not all is bad. Been down with the cough, and then some flu and fever. Must be the weathers. Still coughing till now, like… its been a month now. Stupid haze. Just keeps coming back. Blame the government. When the rakyat make so much noise, then only they ask the Indon government to do something. But apparently, its some MALAYSIAN COMPANY who has been behind all the burning and clearing and while they enjoy some fast bucks, the people here have to suffer. And knowing that its our own people, the government quickly shut up and as usual pretend nothing happen. The peoples fire died down, but not quite the forest fires. What shame…

Again, I’m pessimistic about humanity. Why would we even think we’re the greatest living being that ever existed? Look all around us, look at the news paper, look out your window? What do you see?? Destruction. Hatred. Madness. Its madness out there. People are getting crazier and more stressed out by the day. Its a huge negative synergy working out there in a vicious cycle. I try to do my little bits, but will it be enough? Whats with all these madmen and women attacking young girls in their privates, with pests, sticks, fruits and vegetables? And then knives and broken glasses.

Perhaps its a good thing that more and more colleges are offering courses in psychology. We need them, really. Mental health is such an imprortant aspect
of our lives yet is it so often neglected. How can people become so sick? How to bring up our kids so that they wont be one of these very sick people? How to correct those who are already sick? What are the signs that you’re sick? What to do if you’re getting sick?

Actually, I strongly believe that they should start teaching psychology in school, as part of the pendidikan jasmani, or in fact to intergrate in to the MORAL class, instead of memorising all those nonsensible nilai-nilai moral. How does memorising stuffs build a persons character anyway?

We have laws and we have religion. But I dont believe that threat of punishment can actually do much to prevent people from doing horrible things. Most of the time, I do things because I feel that its the right things to do, and that it makes me feel good knowing that its best for me, and hopefully others too. And then there are things that I wouldnt do because I know that by doing it, I would have harmed someone, or made someone miserable.  How much good will it do me anyway? And in the end of the day, we always do unto people what people do unto us. We learn how to treat people badly when someone have treated us badly before. But we are also able to learn how to treat people nicely when people have been treating us nicely before. If we are able to create a synergy of positive, kind and thoughtful behaviours, then this energy shall flow through and come back to us to create a better kind of vicious cycle.

Then perhaps the world would be a slightly better place.
