i just saw this on Fox News:
“The man believed to be the shooter who killed six students at Northern Illinois University on Thursday was a lauded sociology student who earned two high honors, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.”
.. what is the world coming to? i can’t help but think.. had he been studying so much that he saw what’s going on in the world, saw what the society is really like, and got to grow tired of the world and tried to end his world in the best way he knew how?
Thing is, i feel that it wasn’t right for him to end other people’s world too. it is his world that he grew tired of, but maybe the rest of them weren’t tired of their own world. You see, in every person’s own world, he/she/someone very dear may be the centre of that world but to others, these same people may not even exist in their mindsets. e.g. in my world, my family’s the most important thing, but to my friends, my family’s just that – they’re just.. their friend’s family. the further the connections stretch, probably the less we will think about how they think. (ok im not making sense)
i want to say, it is not right (to me) to end anyone’s life, even ur own. becos every individual is closely linked to something, or someone else in the world. (aft thinking thru wad i was gonna say next, i thought about some exceptions, and decided that my argument was fundamentally flawed so im jz going to stop this topic here)
guess i’m pretty particular abt some things. like these. bt ive decided i shld stop trying to super impose my own opinions on others so i’m trying to maintain objectivity but it’s just so hard. so hard to keep objective all the time. somehow or the other, subjective views always worm their way through and when i come back to think about it, i’m thinking: heys, how could i have said that? it was subjective, therefore it was biased, and fundamentally unstable. and so i had no right to say those things i said. but, tts mostly on hindsight so i really gotta keep working on this. gotta keep on trying to be objective objective objective.
yixin does not know of anything else to say. cos she just stuffed her own mouth full of crap making her unable to say anything. *blinks* maybe it’s time for bed. 3rd night without slp……. n trying to survive..
