you used to be the reason, for my smile.you still are.
the following describes the various forces at play within my head the entire day today.1. i'm disturbed by the film documentary i watched during lecture today wrt the japanese rape of nanking. i used to think that one should forgive and forget and that if even an entity as supreme and superior as God can forgive His servants, then we humans should be all ready to forgive as well. but i realise today why prejudice still persists. pain is hard to go away and scars can sometimes take forever to heal. the atrocities portrayed in the film made me question my own judgment and i feel guilty that i cant decide how i should feel about this entire matter in spite of having spent more than a decade studying around this issue.2. i'm disturbed by the south asian module im doing right now, cos i seem to figure no glimmer of hope for the women who are continually and systematically being oppressed by society. it seems that they live in a very depressing world, and that spills over to me as well. 3. i'm disturbed that people these days dont value words anymore. speaking at random is so in right now. for instance, i feel that the word 'love' has nearly lost its sanctity in the face of society right now. it's like the word 'love' has lost its meaning, its significance and this will carry over and lose the impact that the word 'love' has on people. 4. and i'm so disturbed that after all this while, people still dont know that i hate to have the phone slammed down on me, or have a convo ending without saying goodbye.Labels: disturbed
