food for thought.

If thoughts were turned into deeds, then this world would be a barren place. Imagine the amount of chaos there would be if hateful ideas were put into action the moment it pops into one’s mind. But of course we don’t see people killing each other on the basis of having an annoying face or for listening to Justin Bieber because we humans, are blessed with the gift of thoughts and rationale. But if we come to think of it, is it really a gift so dear? Yes, ‘akal fikiran’ is the only thing that differentiates us from animals, the only thing that tells us that roadkills are carcasses and not food. Due to the fact that we are blessed with the gift of cognition, we are able to evaluate the cause and effects prior to our actions, which thus lead to self-control and refrains from swatting the head off an annoying fucktard the second one presents itself. Heck, I’m not complaining much for having this ‘gift,’ although it would be useful at times to do the world a favour and have one less idiot within our rising population.

But have one ever thought of the burden that we carry upon ourselves too for having this so-called gift? Have u ever felt like killing someone just because you think that he/she is annoying? Or maybe just for the fun of it because he/she has weird fashion sense(ed-hardy sweaters and supra shoes)? The ‘burden’ being referred to, is not the law and jurisdictions that we have (rational thinking+ decision making+ the need of labelling = law), but actually the sense of superiority that each of us possess within ourselves. Let us ALL admit the fact that we ALWAYS think that we are better than others. In one way or another, humans are egoistic creatures born with the “I am better than you/ I am always right” thinking, even myself. And with this very ego, we get jealousy. With this ego, we get discrimination in various forms : racial, ethnic, religion, musical taste, and many other funky ways we humans choose to in some sense, deny another individual’s freedom of choice. Actions are blatantly deemed to be wrong and unlawful if it clashes with our beliefs and extends beyond our comfort zone. And the best part is, we stop ourselves from saying/doing shit because we know better not to invite trouble upon ourselves. With the gift of thought, we carry upon our shoulders the curse of jealousy, hate, and discrimination. So does it still seem to you like a gift now? Indeed, if thoughts were turned into deeds, then this world would be a barren place. So lets us all together continue living our lives as cowards and replay the murder scene of that annoying fucktard in our heads over,and over, and over again.
