Doubt, or trust and friends of apathy
"People should be doubted. Many people misunderstand this concept. Doubting people simply is a part of trying to get to know them. Trust, that act is without a doubt a very noble one. But you know, what many people do, what they call "trust" is actually giving up on trying to understand others. And that has nothing to do with trust, but is rather apathy. There are countless people out there who fail to realize that apathy is a far more devastating act than doubting others.... The true evil is becoming apathetic about other people."

is it so?
ReplyDeletethen how can you account for pple who are just born credulous or gullible?
well after a while they do get a bit smarter and try to doubt things but still it doesnt mean that they give up on anyone or anything =.=
feel like i'm defending myself LOL
...
ReplyDeleteFirst question: How do you think the disable should be treated ?
You start to doubt things to prove your smartness, or actually because they get smarter ?
How do you define "give up on things" ? If parts of them somewhat remain occupying our time, your thought, ... , even a tiny tiny bit, I won't name it so :)
oh so is it in the context of the disable?
ReplyDeleteMy take on the disable is to let they do what they can and yes i feel sorry for them like anyone else. but so what? i mean it's not sth they should feel hurt abt or treasure or anything
It's just normal attitude of any average human
and they should just learn how to live with pple's different reaction/ attitudes towards their disability
apart from that, they are like anyone else... i think. They should strieve hard for whatever they want. maybe it requires more effort but as long as they give it their best.
the 'giving up' on things you were mentioned is on the specific context that pple should always doubt abt others or else they alr give up on trying to find out more/ understand abt others (if i'm nt wrong)...in that context, that's how i define 'give up' on things
anw i was saying so coz i'm one of those credulous creature who more than often readily to believe in whatever pple say =.=
after some years in Arts faculty which always reminds me that everything should be scrutinized critically ...somehow i learned to start to question rather than just believe =.=
still in real life interaction and conversation, i still tend to believe in whatever the others say =.='
but it doesnt mean that i am not curious abt them or give up on understanding them. I mean it's more like observation. you certainly get info from them bt if you have chance, you can always reconfirm those info. =.=
that is to say if you have chance and mean to
...too long for comment T_T
and i'm in the middle of writing my essay =.=
so i'm nt really sure what i am trying to say really fits in the contextof your entry haha =.=
But isn't it the best when the disable are treated as a perfectly normal person ? I still can't find the reason why average human, as you said, prefer a "special" approach to them.
ReplyDeleteLet's imagine if I were myself a disable. It's gonna be extremely irritated by the way I am looked, am I that pitiful ? Do i really need help ? Of course, here, there are many more matters than I wanna cover, like ... Some feels pity for me, they help me because I am thought to be incapable of doing sorts of things --> which reminds the incompleteness of mine --> I feel being insulted; Some helps me because they are watched by "audience".... What do I really need ? Even a look, please give me the same look as you do to others...
Besides, how many times, or how long do you think you can help ? you could help me open the door while seeing me managing difficultly the wheel chair THIS TIME. Some more couples of times, maybe ... but not my whole life.
Not mention those attitudes lead to an even worse case. I always rely on others, live on people's apathy. Take that as my excuse for all the failure, which indeed due to lack of effort.... And so on ...
Whose fault is it ?
Those who waste helping effort without fully awareness of the consequence of their course of action ?
Those who join the fight, carrying a thought that a success can be achieved without much effort !
Or those who somehow see through the case, yet do nothing !
A round_EST orbit !

XDD
I have a large "quota" [Number of words I am allowed to speak/write/type], Recently I haven't used much ! XDDDDDDD !
I'm only worried this page would turn into a battle field ! XDDDDDDD
haha 'battle field' is a negative word LOL
ReplyDeletedebate sounds much better
Anw what you just mentioned is exactly how we always think a disable may think of
The psychology of any average human is to help when they can... or at least as i perceive =.=
so what's wrong with helping? isnt iot the disable fault if they just keep on scrutinizing any type of action and look towards them? I mean that's the way how they perceive pple looking at them, which may not be true at all
Not only the disable but lots of other 'different' pple also attracts 'look' from the crowd rite?
Again it's only how we actually frame pple action and continuosly try to prove that our thinking is right by scrutinizing on their actions. So if any faults is to happen, the disable will immediately jump to the conclusion that "there it is! i know it" ... so is it others fault to try to help when they can?
Moreover, it's the disable mind if they rely on those 'help' for the rest of life. I mean they have to be aware of their situation and have to know that they should rely only on themselves rather than being 'helped'. Coz it's only through their independence that they can feel worthy of themselves and try to lead a better life.
so that's how i think hahah
