this world is made of many things. it's made of me. it's made of my best friends. it's made of my family.
we humans have resorted to all sorts of measures so the world can be friendlier to our cerebrum. we’ve categorized, generalized, stereotyped. we’ve used Freudian analysis. we psychoanalyze. we block out the facts we don’t need. we make our own truths so we can better handle what the world throws at us which is better known as saving our asses. and with a large majority of six billion doing this, humans are a very complicated species.
you see, the world is in fact really simple. there's space to live in. there are resources to support life and growth.
and humans bring with them the things they need to make the world a better place. they bring industry, but industry brought with it pollution. they bring ambition, but alas, it becomes greed. they bring love, but some abuse it, and love becomes obsession. they bring tolerance, and in some quarters, it becomes blind acceptance. they bring intelligence, but some couple it with arrogance. they bring leadership, but that was an excuse for some to be infallible. they bring courage, but courage may also cause some to be disrespectful.
so is the world a good place for us to be in? not that we have got a choice anyway. we can't be living in Mars, Venus and whatnots.
did we make it better by bringing in our good traits? is it still a good place despite the evident existance of our bad traits?
or has the world fallen into a despair and darkness that we mask with comedy and stories of wonder and governance? i'm sorry. i'm beginning to sound really political.
on a sidenote though, to all Muslims -
Salam Lebaran.
Maaf Zahir & Batin.
especially to those i've wronged. to those i've offended. to those whom i simply brushed off or might have called you an ass or something. anything that i've done wrong to you beautiful people out there. go figure.
