walkin' in da opposite direction, against the crowd, i did.
when i looked on from atop, i wondered why all the people in the park walk in the same direction, circling the lake ? once in a while, only a few people walk against the flow of people who went to the park for exercising.
actually, the phenomenon which i have seen this morning is typical in our lives. it's juz like the way we live under a social convention. we never think of questioning abt the way we live. why shld we wear pyjamas to bed? why do we buy that new model of mobile phone when the old can still be in use? it's something implant in our mind by our ideology~ we feel comfortable with what is already there~ never wanting to change the way it is, coz we feel safe~ feel secure~ and whenever someone wanted to stand up and question against the already steady flow, not wanting to be da same as the crowd, obstacles came.
that's what i came to face when i tried to walk against the crowd of people who strolled in da park. i walk in the opposite direction and what i get is questioning glares. my mum asked me "why do so when it brings so much trouble when u walked in the opposite direction? juz follow the crowd larR..."
i was like, "why"?
"coz you will bring trouble to other people~"
"oh~~~"
... ... human are always set up to be work in groups. it's a social phenomenon, i think i studied this in human comm before, but i forgot d exact term to apply to this phenomenon~ LOL
it's interesting to observe our social world~~~ haha

Ahh.....an article of being different. Walking in a differnt direction isn't always a desirable move. let me give you a sick example: "You have 2 arms just like everybody else. Why not self-amputate one away and be different?"
