im back. from town, the second time today.
ERAGON's good .it's almost like a revival/reminiscnce of a boy's childhood dream of dragons and knights. somehow it reminds me of mighty max. anyway, i think the scriptwriter got to be shot, i swear some of the things that he said to brom and arya were so cheesy and corny, that i swear it just cracked us up so bad in the theatre.
i decided. i think i want edward speleers for xmas. hmm yes, edward speleers in a spunky red boxers with GREEN DRAGONS prints. okaye. i also want to change my name to ELOEGON. ;)
hmm. i dont know. i think it was a good night out with bestie elthevin.
at least, it was through all that convos in our walks and meal that i got my answers. i like how our perceptions and opinions reign so freely in our convos,how our random ideas bounced off one another . i like how we formulate new notions and common grounds based on each other's differing views.
yes, i think i like how receptive we both are to differences and how we agree upon each other that while it's natural to form passing impressions of people, we should never judge. judgments are well , personal opinions permanently/long term inscribed on another individual. it's sad how this permanence derived from the temporal differing views and deviations of personal beliefs is dividing people. it's funny how increasingly, people also fail to see how their own cognitive bias is blinding them . it's learning to see and know that acceptance of these differences does not/should not jeopardize an individual's value system and self worth, no matter how conflicting it is with the rest of the world.
we talked about beauty too. beauty in its most superficial form in a social setting , as well as its literal definitions .increasingly our society develops this platonist view on beauty, where beauty has to take a certain form, and how it has clear defined criterions to what beauty encompasses . any deviation from that criterion will thus render a object as invalid and unacceptable. Then, it also believes in the functionality as a basis in defining beauty, any entity that fails to perform its role in the society becomes irrelevant and inessential. but surely, there are beauty in all the differing shades and hues of grey of individuality ? and it's only up to each and every of us to be discerning enough to accept these differences and appreciate it?
we judge; to protect our beliefs and values. we judge ; to affirm our social standing. we judge;to bolster our own personal insecurities. we judge ; to define the acceptable norms ;to draw divides between the blacks and whites of a societal culture and its values.
is it people that define a societal culture/norms?
or is it societal culture that defines people?
