i sure came a long way to write this post. its been days since my internet broke down, and it was such a convenience that it just had to die on the day i wanted to write something. not that i had any interesting event to talk about in the first place.....because i skip sports day, and my house won. so i missed the chance to shout and scream like a complete lunatic. and without a single doubt, valentine's day passed by me just the same ad every year, minus the fact that i had one of the best times in my life "kutuking" my friend in tuition. everything just went perfect, and its still going on.
apart from that, the real reason of this post is about "arena". yes, her! let me put it this way, she can really get to your nerves and make you feel like taking a gun and either shoot her, or shoot yourself. she just came from nowhere, and asked me to write her an essay. i was somehow obliged because i did say i would write her one last year, but back then, she said it would be for her teacher's day speech....but i didnt do that one, simply because i forgot about it, and she never mention it again after that. so this time, i thought it was for the same cause, and without thinking, i just said yes.....an essay for an old hag wont kill me would it.
the next morning, i asked what was the essay for, and the answer she gave me was so unbelievable. im not telling what it is, but lets keep it down to cheating in something. so i asked her, "is it not unethical for me to do it?".......and i actually expected her to say yes, because how dense can she be. and she is dense i tell you.....it was a no. i asked her again, thinking maybe she misunderstood what i said before.....i got another no. and after the 3rd futile attempt, i just gave up.
so let me get this straight, she doesnt know what's wrong and right! the idea to explain to her why its unethical crossed my mind, but considering the reality that she wont understand it even after i die, i just wrote the essay. i had to, i kept my words, and i owe her nothing more, not a single ounce of debt anymore. though i got the feeling she's going to ask me to do it again.
i got really pissed off on my way back to class, i punched the wall on the way, because if i didnt, someone in my class might die. and unconsciously, i punched so hard my knuckles hurt, and the pain hasnt completely go away until now. at that point, i was really like a bomb, waiting to explode and destroy everything around me, but then, after laughing at my poor friend again, it went away, just like that.
moral of this story, never cross path with "arena" and when your are mad, dont punch the wall. trust me, that wasnt worth it......
im testing this new blog.......so this is going to be really pointless to read.
usually i write post bout some issues involving myself, but this time, i got an idea after watching a video on youtube.....it was something about equality.....which i think i had previously mentioned in my blog in friendster. but that was about sexuality, this is about the right to express one's idea.
i said ideas, not perceptions, because i feel that religions are ideas. im not exactly an atheist, nor am i pious enough to thank god for being alive. the other day, i saw two videos, one about a debate whether god does or does not exist, which was a complete waste of time, and the other was about freedom of speech.
i was actually looking for debating styles, but the good ones were too little and too short. but lets skip that, and go to the main issue here, the one that really caught my attention. what do you think about the freedom of speech, or rather the right to express your beliefs.........do you think you deserve them, do you think everyone deserve them? if you do, then great, we think alike, but that is just something we humans can never accomplish.
why? its plain simple. lets say there a three guys in a room, each with a different religion, having a chat....they wont be arguing about who's god is real....rite? a group of people with different religion can live without trying to prove their religion is the "true way". then if i were to walk in and claim "god does not exist", most likely they'll stare at me, should they have enough tolerance to not beat me to death. in bolehland, you have to believe in god to have a mykad. its in our rukun negara, the very first rukun negara. so while a muslim, a buddhist, a hindu or a christian, or any form of religion is accepted by society, but i fare atheism the otherwise. somehow, atheism is one of the rare things that can get a whole bunch of religious people to team up and criticise whole heartedly.....it brings unity to this world that has so many religion....if it werent there, they have to fight amongst themselves, and that would be more tragic, considering they only made up almost 12% of the world's population.
so atheists cant actually express their belief.....or non-belief to the public, but hey, the rest are displaying their's just fine.....they have public holidays too. and thats when it comes down to equality......how can one person display their belief, and the other cant? is their belief, whatever it is, should be respected like others. the video i saw said something about a debate whether religious items should be allowed in public....which was perfectly ok, until the question popped in, "what about the atheists?". so while the whole wolrd can be proud of their religion, 12% of them are supposed to just sit quiet and say nothing to defend their belief?
the big question is "should they?" if they dont, all that talk about equality would be nothing more than trash and that just shows that the majority have the upmost importance compared to the minority. if they do, then its gona be a controversial fight to the have the right to be treated equally. but guess what, that wont happen either, they'll never have permission the bring up the issue as long as the government consist of people who think only they are right and they know what is best for the world. and look at us now........slowly eroding with the planet!
as far as i know, there will never be an answer for everything. the question about god's existence will be debated as long as man exist, the question of equality will never have the real answer until we all are one...no more countries, no more religions, just humans and nothing that separates us from one another. perhaps the only solution to everything is up to oneself. if you cant give an accepted answer for the whole world, at least answer your own doubts and uncertainties. every man for himself, and that would make the wolrd a better place, because so far, he who claims to know whats best for others, only gains for himself, while the rest suffer.
