just emailed a couple of people... so i wont say so much here... it's difficult to.
things have been... really busy since i moved back onto campus... moving into my new apartment... and classes are not going my way... things were ok at first... maybe even shockingly not bad... now... for certain reasons i just feel a huge void
and at the moment due to a certain incident im incredibly pissed off. but i have a right to settle this. and i will try to assert it.
was in class yesterday and something the prof said rang extremely true... he said... people (meaning people in the developed world... mainly the west) always try to settle the 'problems' of those in the third world... but yet they never ever ask these people whether they want that help or what kinda help them want. i really really couldnt agree more... it's like treating them like objects. these pitiful objects. but no. they are living breathing human beings just like you and me. just because they're in conditions which are 'worse' (ok admittedly a genocidical condition is downright tragic but im not talking about that here) doesn mean it's for us to judge what is good and bad. and it does not further mean that we can view them as things to be helped. and not as human beings of equal intelligence. but jsut a different culture. OK?! GOT THAT?
dammit. i dont know. people are disgusting. we are disgusting.
my prof was talking about the environmental problems and such... (the first lecture i attended i felt like a total dope. half the time i didnt even know what the hell he was talking abt. seriously think im just not cut out for this studying stuff.) and he said... what we need is LESS technology and science.. (which people keep 'inventing' to solve what are essentially the problems of humanity) but more social responsibility and political voice... shit i really couldnt agree more.
sigh. why. why why why. why is the world such an ugly place and people so flawed. can you tell me.
