Cynics? Or just scared?We put artifical intelligence in computers, and use less of our brains. We speak faster than we think, and sometimes we don't think at all. And in the era of Wi-max/bluetooth/ez-link payment, we have become more cash-rich and tech-savy, but we put much less faith in our own kind and understand less about our loved ones. It's ironic, how we embrace the advancement of technology with open arms, and yet close our hearts to the people around us.
I don't know. I wanted to talk about cynical people and how it's so depressing that i'm meeting more and more of them, but somehow i don't know where to start. Thus, the only-vaguely-related-to-the-topic-abrupt introduction.
Do you like cynical people? I don't. All i can hear about is how they think marriage sucks, their present relationship will never last, how people are never genuinely nice blah blah blah.
But somehow everyone's a cynic these days. Maybe it's the aspartame present in most sweets these days, or all the recycled urine we're drinking. Just last week I remember telling my guardian that i would love to live with her forever. You know, show her the same amount of care and concern she showered on me when i thought all was lost. She looked at me and said "ya right... u're just saying it....kids these days would never do that".
Typical of her to say that, but It really made me wonder. Was she being cynical, or just too afraid to hope? In that case, are the whole lot of them just scared? That's sad, you know. Don't be naive, they say. It's foolish to hope for some things, you'll only end up disappointed and angry. Or maybe it was their emotional baggage speaking.
I really tried, at least i really think i did. Be all indifferent to the people around me, try not to care too much, just so i won't get hurt. But i couldn't. The only way i could give it is my all. Life IS unfair, you can't choose your endings, but i'm thankful that at least there are some things that i can choose.
When i was litte i wanted 3 things.
1) to be a lawyer.
2) to be married forever.
3) endless supply of Double-Decker crackers.
I'm definitely not going to become a lawyer, and i'm much too health conscious to eat more than a packet of double-deckers at one go, but i will be married forever.
Well a girl can still hope, can't she?
;)
Something to say? =)
