Everyone has their own perception about the world. The way we perceive the world outside is never the same since we come from different upbringings.
Why not to see something in a new light? Why should we just being trap within this existing frame which the social world had taught us since we were a kid?
I suppose, i have posted those Qs as if i, myself can completely free my mind from this existing system. NO, i can't. if i can, i would be here writing these.
along with others, I'm struggling... finding answers and truth. and yeah, i admit, i am part of the popular culture. but no, i am not a plain follower. From time to time, once in a while, i woke up for a few seconds then i drifted back into this system. where we continuously repeating everything. repeating the cycle.. may it be the cycle of reproduction of product, the cycle of the reproduction of us unconsciously fallen into the laps of the present ideology. we listen to music that the culture industry wanted us to hear.. they set up the choices for us and deceive us into believing that we have the RIGHT to choose. but, do we? What options do we have? One might argue that, "oh yes, i have a lot of choices to choose from.." but we didn't realise tht these "choices" are actually limited. these choices are produced manly. there's more choices to choose from if we see beyond these present choices. but.. there come our human weakness. we are so rely on how this social world works that, without any given choices, we don't know what to do next. u know u have to further your studies after graduate from college, but without options there for u to choose from, we are hopelessly stranded. capitalist always providing us with various choices to choose from, but we never be free from the existing choices set up by them.
the next Qs that i wanna post is on thoughts..
Were there any thoughts before the symbols and languages are written and defined by human mind? what if languages and symbols had never be created? wld there be something similar to "thoughts"? wld we still be thinking? why do we thinking in words and languages? if i had never learnt a single word, wld i still have my thoughts? but in what form? alright, other than thoughts in the form of brainwave? we all know that we can only express through wordings and symbols, so that we can interact. but why our thoughts are now replace by words? words are just labels.. what are thoughts?
that's the beauty of the world, everyone thinks different - diversity. However, that leads to conflicts and wars as well. Ironic isn't it?
ReplyDeleteMost people tend to conform to other as following the majority of the society, there's why there's so little leaders and so many followers.
