i was pondering over some things recently...
have we fallen so far that results are the be-all and end-all of everything?
i look at the sociopath's declaration that "everyone fails = everyone gets good results" and almost weep at the cynicism shown by people these days..
i look at the schools and i was sickened so much my heart physically missed a beat or something... where the schools were not so much interested in their sacred duty of educating the children but they were in hot pursuit of more awards to win.. children be damned...
i look at the forums in sgforums and i see people deriding others for knowledge and taking pride in their own ignorance... and am very much saddened..
everyone says "society is like that" and descend to the lower common denominator of the muck, wallowing in it, professing "bo pian" and "what to do? society is like that"
is it just a cop out?
being human.. we can define our humanity as being conscious of the choices we make.. we can make a change in our little spheres of influence.. and that expands to make changes in greater areas.. and in time, the society itself..
it is not easy but it can be done...
or are we too lazy, too cynical, too selfish to even contemplate and think for the next generation, our children, our children's children to change our stupid and insane ways? they are not worth it?
it is something i think about, and it is very worrying...
cynicism.. is the abandonment of hope.. and without hope, we lose our humanity
