most if not all of the things we do in our daily life is socially conditioned. We grow up being told what is right and wrong, which is good and bad, and sometimes we are just told to do something without being explained to, the reasoning behind it.
This has developed a mental attitude of accepting what has been told and given without questioning. I, on the other hand, was one who rebelled against this idea. I refused to be boxed into a type. Refused to follow what was expected of me and went against the stream at any opportunity i got. Of course i learnt it the hard way, i also had my fair share of banging my head against the wall, burnt and crashed along the way but isn't that what life is all about? Falling and getting up at my own pace and crying over the pain so that when the pit comes along again, i will know better to fall in a way that i don't end up crying :)
Anyways, coming back to the former thought, there is no such thing as good or bad. Values are attached by us humans. This is to prevent crime and keep the society in a more controlled situation. Imagine if there was no rules or law in the world? people will go on killing each other and there will be chaos. Human mind has been conditioned to follow these rules to ensure peace.
Here's an example:
what is good in war? it decreases world population, allows reformation, makes some parts of the world realise how blessed they are and grateful they should be...
WHat is bad about it? the innocent die, there is hatred, in humane killing, disaster and destruction, fear in the young and women, no evolution or growth.
thinking of all these issues are boggin my mind when there are tonnes of things to do in my plate now... i need to take a break and continue my work be4 it gets too late. i'm trying to get into the habit of discipline and kick out procrastination... ciao now..
