Ethical Dilemma.

There always seems to be a bombardment of discussions particularly in lessons about ethical/moral issues and most of them have been raised for many years where people still haven't come to an agreed conclusion where everyone is happy and no one is harmed and we all keep moral integrity and live in rainbows forever gliding in a hue of colours.

I guess a lot of them could be applied to simple problems and maybe we're often unaware that we face them everyday. I just never thought I'd have to apply it in real life.

You know when you're informed of something that is somehow indirectly significant to you? Having to pick between two things could be the hardest thing in the world.

Numbers are universal (a slightly philosophical/ mathematical post)



A long, long time ago I was met with an argument that 'numbers are redundant'. This argument was sloppily thrown into my face and so many things entered my mind to say back to this ridiculous notion that my head felt like it was about to explode. However, it's incredibly stupid to have an argument based on pure, personal logic because, let's face it, that will most likely go on a repetitive loop which will leave both sides unable to say anything appropriate but still too stubborn to desist.

Then, I discovered Pythagoras (Greek philosopher/ Bad ass mathematician). I mean, I've always seen him as that guy who made that theorem that we all have to use and have grown to have a love/hate relationship with.


So, Pythagoras was this pre-Socratic philosopher who believed there MUST be one underlying element that could constitute EVERYTHING. And he was right (sort of). Numbers are universal and unchangable. Though I guess we can't really calculate and transcribe numerical data into our every move (it's not completely impossible... just time consuming), numbers seem to be quite important. Just a thought.

You hear that person who called numbers redundant? YEAH!

I just realised how I can never conclude any of my thoughts clearly. I suck.

Procrastination from Revision (that would make an awesome song title)

Whenever I open my textbook it feels like the pages emit a blazing spray of hot flames on my face that I have to immediately shut the book and go back to psyching myself to opening my textbook again.

It's a slow and painful cycle.

Masks (are cool)


It saddens me when it seems like the era of masks is slowly vanishing. They've contributed to some major things in history like studies of deindividuation (although I think they used paper bags with two holes in them) and brought Romeo and Juliet together (... though the ending of that one seemed more bitter than sweet)

I don't like this.

We're all going to die someday. So what the fuck are we all doing right now? Sitting down or reading or watching television; these repetitive tasks that will soon be useless and leave no trace because when we die the whole universe doesn't just stop. It keeps going as it did when other people died and we have no clue who the hell they were because they probably spent most of their lives watching television or sitting down like we are right now.

So go out, breathe some fresh air and do something new (no criminal activities are hinted or condoned) that could possibly impact your life.

All this free time with nothing to do makes me think. Often thinking leads to depression.

Average (a colossal shadow of doom glowering down)

I hate getting average grades... I mean, I guess you look at a report and you either frown and vow to do better or smile because of its amazingness... but... what about the middle? I can't really complain because a lot of people would slap me in the face but I hate being average. Maybe I should do a half smile and vow to do better.
