Rhetoric

Posted on Tuesday, April 20th, 2010 at 12:07

About ten years ago I cling a lot to ideas, beliefs, things and routine, but being with grown-ups I learned how to quite a bit- change the attitude which are not healthy. But how do we recognize if one thing isn’t right? Because of philosophers and the ever increasing words in the dictionary- people would call and say that it is subjective. It all depends on one’s values, and their values being based from their environment and upbringing. If most of us would just listen to people who are wiser, people who base what they say on their experience, not from others idea or theory- this is only possible if you are open-minded.

From experience, most people won’t move if everything’s okay- they are in their comfort zone. Sandeep told me about it two years ago, and from then on- I’ve been conscious of the things that indeed putting me in my comfort zone. The idea sounds stupid, because the reason why we work is to be comfortable- do not confuse the two. Media also has certain effect to people socially, everywhere we turn there’s advertising, you will never notice that while soaking in their ideas- you lose your own identity, you submit yourself to them and then they sell.

You never notice that:

  • You wait for an email an average of 4 hours per day
  • You spend 3 hours browsing networking sites
  • Waste 2 hours waiting for someone to text or call
  • Watching your favorite show on TV or online for 2 hours each day
  • 2 hours is spent smoking with friends and colleagues
  • Spend more than 2 hours on the mall thinking about what to buy
  • You spend an hour trying to figure out what to eat
  • An hour to choose what to wear plus your entire regimen before that

I am currently listening to Grahame’s band The Intermission, line says: “or you just get older and find more and more people to blame…” – Glenn Rosborough
