round-go-merry

Up to this point, I realised that all my previous posts are in one way or another complaining about something. I find myself to be curious and inquisitive enough to make a fuss out of the littlest, most insignificant issues; which in turn leads to the self-realisation that I am so annoying that I can’t even stand myself. Well without further a due, i would now like to proceed to analyse/discuss/complain on another new, worthless issue =)

Let’s talk about “words of wisdom”. Those selected phrases, constructed in a such way as to bring hope and words of advice to those who are in desperate need of spiritual aid. For those who are not familiar with such phrases, you might be able to spot a few, via retards posting a bunch of words they might not even know the meaning to, whilst alternating between uppercase and lowercase alphabets as their facebook status.

E.g : iGnOrAnCe iS bLisS ^^

For individuals who do understand, It is a shame however to state the fact that many are ignorant enough not to realise, that for every ‘word of wisdom’, there will be another handful of contradicting ‘words of wisdom’s , bringing the total opposite message, but similar emotional soothing effects.

For example, ever heard of “live your life to the fullest” before? Yes, the best self-comforting excuse one uses to avoid the guilt of eating too much junk food, choosing to party instead of studying, go on a shopping spree, cheating on their significant other, smoking, etc. The funny thing is, every action that requires the usage of “live your life to the fullest” to substantiate other motivating/catalysing phrases of the action such as “you only live once”, or “don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone” , goes against many other ‘words of wisdom’s that, at some point in our lives, have we lived by or held on to. People change their principles way too many times in a lifetime, resorting to anything, even to a bunch of so-called-wise-words, just for the sake of justifying their actions and liberating themselves from the guilt they once cursed themselves with. Well that just shows how narcissistic we all are, aren’t we?

So for the fun of it, try sitting down and think of the many things you have done that you once told yourself, you would never, ever do. Then think again. Its not that bad actually rigghhhtttt? Well my friend, your mind have just been scrambled by the rhetoric wheel of ‘words of wisdoms’ =)
