i think i'm thinking too much :)
lots of random thoughts recently. from things i experience around me, artsy lectures on sociology, shows i watch (especially grey's anatomy and house - medical series), articles i read, etc etc.
i'm beginning to think (think, again) that perhaps this is what university is about. for the most of us, university would be the only time we are asked to really think. we are now at a stage where we can think critically and form our own opinions - well informed ones. we are at a stage where our maturity and yet certain childlike qualities leads us to form our own set of values - a good balance of practicality and yet idealistic in its own ways. and no doubt this set of values, would eventually define us.
while in the workforce we'll be instructed to get the job done economically and in as little time as possible without asking too many questions, as well as maintain focus by only doing things that are related to one's job, we as students have to thus do our lifetime's worth of thinking now, and embrace all opportunities that present themselves at university, isnt it? i shall thus further appreciate being asked to think creatively, in new dimensions and question everything.
i'm thinking,
if life's so hard already, why do we bring more trouble on ourselves, why the masochistic need to hit the self-destruct button? because what does not kill you only makes you stronger? or because it feels so good when you eventually stop tormenting yourself?
i'm thinking,
sometimes not knowing is better. because what you dont know wont hurt you.
i'm thinking,
someone once said, that even the worlds biggest failure, even the most intractable mistake, beats the hell out of never trying. i'm still trying very hard to see the truth in this.
knowing is better than wondering. -benjamin franklin
