Once Upon A Time, Yet In The Distant Future.

This Post Should've Been Up Last Week, But Due To Stuff That No One Needs To Care About, It's Up Now.

I'm Starting To Like My Lecturer, Mr Tan Kok Wei. Though He's Extremely Sarcastic During Lectures (Sarcasm Is Somewhere On The Top In The List Of Things I Hate), But His Tutorial Classes Are Really The Thing That Universities Lack, And Must Have; Open Discussion Sessions Where People Actually Get To Voice Out Their Views On How They Apply The Stuff That They Shove Up Their Heads In The Real World. Sadly However, Through Voicing Out My Ideas And His Criticism, We Have Indirectly Formed An Equation:

University = Study, Memorize, Ideals
Practicality = College, Vocational School
Thus University =/= Practical

Because People Come To University To Memorize Information, Not Apply Them In Life. Even The Highest Level Of Education That Can Be Obtained From Universities Is The PhD, Or Doctor Of Philosophy. Thus All We Learn Are Pointless Information In Our Undergrad, Finally Some Practicality Depending On The Choice Of Our Specialization For Masters And All Impractical Ideals And Philosophies For PhD. Also Meaning That People Pay More For People Who Can Come Up With Grand Ideas But Cannot Make Use Of / Apply Basic And Useful Information Instead Of People Who Get The Job Done But Lacking In Creativity. Which Leads To Another Equation:

Dream = Higher Pay
Work = Lower Pay

Though Excuse My Choice Of Words. I'm Trying To Keep The Equations As Short As Possible. Although Exaggerated, The Basic Idea Remains. People Who Are Able To Make Use Of What They Learn Are Being Rewarded Less Than People Who Come Up With Ideas And Make Others Learn.

I Kept Thinking To Myself: If This Is How The System Works, Then What Is The World Coming To? Now That My Refusal To Accept The Way Reality Is Was Countered And Criticized, It Only Confirms To Me That Reality Rules. Ideals Are Destined To Fail Epicly. In Other Words, World Peace = Epic Fail. Immorality Suddenly Became The Most Moral Thing. Because To Survive One Cannot Afford To Be Selfless, Thus Selfishness Is The Way To Go Because It Is Immoral To Not Want To Survive Because Not Wanting To Live Equals Suicide. And Every Other Thing Along Those Lines.

These May Make No Sense To Most Of You, But It All Relates. Me Putting Them In This Short Equation Just Brings The Starting And Finishing Point Closer.

But At The Same Time I'm Reminded That Nothing Is True, Everything Is Permitted. So People Are Allowed To Do Stuff That Don't Make Sense In The Name Of Making Sense. Much Like Killing In The Name Of Peace. Or Dividing People In The Name Of Unity. Or Manipulating People In The Name Of Helping Them. Since These Are What War, Religion And Politics, Respectively, Do To People Anyway. Then Again, All Of Them Can Actually Be Used Interchangably Instead Of Each Description Matching Only One Word. And Since Nothing Is True And Everything Is Permitted, Let Me Also Share This With You Before Anyone Starts Flaming Themselves:

Know this before you argue,
There is no truth in this world, only points of view,
From a different angle, something else is true,
From where we stand, the sky may be an azure blue,
But from somewhere else, it is of another hue.

Adieu To Y'all. Food For Thought, People.
