gawshhh

Sometimes, Rationality seems such a vague word. In sense, what is right and what is wrong seems so subjective in the world these days.

Back in the medieval days, it was a very clear cut of what is wrong and whats not. You could either be doing something right or commiting blasphemy, theres a very strong sense of what is right and wrong. And it doesn't even need rational reasons.

I guess I should be glad that we have evolved to be more liberal, that we have made it right and completely appropriate to coem up with our own rationalities and do what we feelis right.

But really, sometimes the reasons we give are flawed. Soemtimes we disagree. And someitmes we have our own say merely to gain an identity.

Now, we have lawyers, spokespersons, PR representatives, a hundred different careers whose sole objective is to come up with feasible rationales. They're all right.

SO when someone says " thats Not ccol man.." Is he right? Think about ti this way. Our society is crafted entirely on the rationales of people. Whats cool? Whats not?

Is it wrong that I wear this? Is it wrong if I don't Do that? Our trends, our lifestyles, yes, they're constructed out of people who are outspoken. But are they right? I mean, after all, its THEIR reasons, not ours. And yet we blindly follow them, and act as if they were our own.

What makes us dress in suits? What makes us go clubbing? What makes us smoke? What makes us do everything?

Why can't I say no to some things that you deem cool? CAn't I have my own say? Must i follow you, a consumer whore?

And even then, what is it that influenced me to make those deicisions?

When you think about it open minded, there a lot of things that we do thats seemingly nonsensical, yet we still do it.

Why do we wear rings on weddings? Why not necklaces? Why do we prefer clothes that barely cover anything on women? Whats the diiference between your pair or Levis Jeans to my pair of Chow kit jeans? Why do people gyrate in crowded sweaty stuffy places to loud music? WHy do we think obnoxious people are cool? Why are we kicking balls? Why is sex and virginity so taboo? What is the significance of the family name and why is it held in such high regards? Why is heavy metal bad and Techno (which is just as trashy and loud) good? Why are we consuming liquor (which kills us)? Are we actually omnivores? Or merely influenced by a canibalistic stone aged psycho that slaughtering for food is okay?

Probably the only way to be free from opinion is to prolly live in the hills or sumthing. And meditate.

There, I've prolly blogged about something so redundant that you guys aren't even gonna read.

But tell me.. am I wrong?

baby, do u still not get it? if we are to live in this world..we follow the set of rules.the set of rules being " the trends of the world". humans are not made to be rational creatures. these 'trends' or 'rules' make u feel u belong (a part of a human need) and to go against it, simply means u wont survive here..

Okay.. My name is Ethan, People call me Kok, and I have an alter ego by the name of gangster kok.. I'm 19, I'm majoring in animation in THE ONE ACADEMY, I like to eat, sing, jump around and watch anime. Like any hot blooded guy, I like Girls too. I hate when people make gay jokes. I love drawing, and talking crap. Every damn second I think about sex.

Currently attached, I do believe that miracles happen.. Also singing in ragtag amateur band; the members are everchanging. Loves rock, alternative and anything to do with a live band. Loves acoustic tracks too.. wishes to perform one day. Supports the local music industry and wishes it would be more appreciated and not so underrated. Hates pop, loves quality movies and animations. Loves to do out of the ordinary stuff.

I live for adventure. I'm loyal (I SWEAR) and to summarise it all up.. I'm me.

SOmetimes though, Cheong Yen Ling comes to wrote stuff as well. She's still 19, like Kok, and is best described as a girl who smiles: ALOT. Currently in New Zealand and not really enjoying it, She hope to get the fuck out of New Zealand as quickly as possible. Enjoys Futsal, photoshopping people's faces, jumping around, cursing (Just like kok), Horses and a plethora of other things that this author ( yours truly KOK) doesn't know about.

Currently studyin in AUT, and currently attached to yours truly, she will be sometimes coming to add to this already crappy blog X)
