ok dono wat so nice about the new blogger. ok la they changed the font at least. looks rather much better now.
mm anyway we've been having interesting civics lessons recently... lolz on sexuality. sounds so scandalously interesting but it's actually just abt BGRs. lots of interesting things were discussed tho and one thing that got me thinking was about what everyone said about being open and honest with each other.
of course, the ideal situation is that people are completely honest with each other. complete and total honesty is the best way to go but notwithstanding intentions, there are so many barriers to hinder thissss. besides, the whole truth is just totally understanding someone's logic and mentality. which is why i always think mindreading will be a really useful superpower. but ok that's besides the point.
truth... ahhh the wonderful mysteries of it all. so much hype about it. the things that we are reluctant to say... things that we hesitate to speak up on... our true feelings. these are the 'truths' that i generally refer to from now on. the thing is, these are the kind of truths that are brutal and hurtful at first, but at a deeper level and with more knowledge and understanding, they become a form of healing and allow us all to understand each other so much better.
but everytime we decide to take a courageous step and reveal a truth of that nature, the brutality of the remark or passing comment is the first thing we feel. the stupidity of saying something so revealing. making ourselves so vulnerable. and also, the barriers set up by this knowledge. and we just stop at that step... afraid to progress further, fearing more hurt and pain, when actually, perserverance with the truth will pave the way to powerful relationships based on complete understanding of each other. that's why many of us have come to rely on concealment and subterfuge more than honesty and openness. so many barriers everywhere. the shackles of society.
lolz ok just big words to hurl around to sound intellectual. but nahh i'm past that. i hope.
oh yes happy birthday aunty anula :) thanks for the wonderful breakfast this morning (chicken stew and bread... it's like a mega superior breakfast). i'm sooo hard to please after i just wake up on school days but u managed it so many times it's simply amazing. lolz u won't read this but still... a tribute to ya. thanks for all these years!!
