In recent days, I have encountered the involuntary phenomenon of feeling "deeply" about certain things in life, particularly those pertaining to justice and injustice. I don't know how to describe "deeply" in this context. I have qualms about the word "deep" as I have frequently met people who tell me they're deep or are into deep things like deep films, but more often than not, I find that they're rather basic (both the people and the things they're into). I am a rather basic person myself. To feel deeply about something might perhaps be described as pondering about an issue and getting so triggered you may or may not want to punch something or someone. I would probably opt for "something", like a punching bag or a pillow.
When I'm in one of these moods, I find myself asking a lot of questions (some rhetorical), such as:
Why do stupid people exist?
(No. I ask that nearly every day.)
Is it possible to rid the world of ignorance? Does obtaining knowledge equal being educated?
If rid of ignorance, would there still be an underlying sense of bias or prejudice?
Why are some people like wet noodles who only care about saving their own arses? Don't they know their arse is already doomed right from the get-go?
What causes a person to be ashamed of their own culture or race?
Why do some races "worship" other races? Assuming someone were educated of all atrocities committed by all races in history, would he or she still be biased towards a certain race?
Why do people always like to tell girls what to do or think? Go tell boys? See if they like it?
Why do people expect something in return when they decide to give something that was unsolicited?
Why do people lack self-awareness?
Why are some more defensive than others? Incidentally, why are the "others" more combative than the "some"? (Are we human or are we dancer?)
Do you give a damn about popular opinion?
Can you say that you truly "see" someone?
Do you have to label things and people to make you feel more in control?
Can you give an honest opinion without fear of offending people?
Can you stop misquoting things? Can we bring back accurate storytelling?
Do you really need a therapist?
Are you really a mindful consumer?
What's so great about veganism? Have you cooked an honest, hearty meal?
Why don't we delve into and appreciate local cinema and art house productions? Instead, we are guilty of going for things that have been validated by the mass media. If you're thinking about the Oscars, then so am I. Lol. I was thinking, Kudos to them, but let's give it up for Hong Kong cinema and global cinema and many other cinemas and art house productions and things that don't have to get voted on. Things that do not need A-P-P-R-O-V-A-L.
Politics and commerce are best pals, but what has art and ideas got to do with them?
Why do I immediately feel like I have to go the OTHER way when people tell me to go THIS way?
These questions are not meant to be answered, OBVI. Strength often comes in silence. So does the truth. This silence is golden. I also incidentally can't stand people who talk a lot. Maybe because I speak enough for the whole world. Anyway, I just speak to myself a lot. Or speak to God. He always listens but never answers. Oh, JK. Sometimes he does, and I'm like, "Please, no. That's enough."
