be yourself

Just another day passed by with school, sleep, reading and now blogging...and later even more sleep... Turns out that my social exam was just as I expected... haihz... all that I had studied was not exactly worth it... well....knowledge is its own reward... but most of the questions on the exam were based on the few forgotten materials.... the ones which I had not taken notes on... well, i did get 34/50 which was basically the class average...

Children, teenagers and even a certain number of adults nowadays are overrun with the feeling of dissatisfaction towards their own physical and mental situation.... These people are frequently bothered by the "what if"s and "if only"s.... these discontents and desolations has driven these people into drastic measures... these people have turned to their last resort... they pretend to be someone or something they're not... they reduplicate the people of the "normal" standards... Achieving this "normal" standard seems to be the only way of 'fitting in' this corrupt and judgemental almost-broken-down society...

If this is what it takes to be "accepted", is this really worth the act?? Does acting through your whole life really make you that different?? Does faking the mere existence of your presence reduce anymore of the real you?? Does hiding your true self behind a mask really conceal yourself?? Isn't that counted as bluffing yourself?? In impersonating other characters, isn't that just as entertaining as a mere mime?? Just another human who hasn't the character or emotions of oneself?? Does cloning others not just degrade oneself to that of an artificial intelligence?? Let me rephrase that... artificial stupidity??? Just another dumb-trick?? another fiddle-faddle?? another absurdity??

Have we truely forgotten the meaning of self-expression??
