Too Practical?
A sudden and random thought came to my head amidst rushing my assignment, and its probably going to be a little confusing than usual.
Many always say kids are lucky, for they can just do what they like without any concerns or worries. But for any normal grown up, we will always ask ourselves why we do certain things, as there should always be a reason for doing anything. As a matter of fact, the reason will usually relate to some personal gain one way or another. It is after all human nature to be selfish and greedy. The practicality of mankind.
However, it is of course possible there is still that side in all of us which tells us to 'just do it'. There are somethings in which when we are doing it, or after we have done it, we cannot still answer the 'why we did it' question. Citing an example, would of course be arts club matters. Yes, there is a side of us which approaches the matter in a more practical way, like for cca points, for cv, for experience, but then again, there is another side which forsakes all these personal gains, as we 'just do it'. Somewhat unexplainable.
I did mention during the last AGM that up till the day of stepping down, I still did not really know why I stood up to run for the management committee. But it never really bothered me, as I was just sure that I was doing what I wanted to do. It was just 'me' to want to be involved in co-curricular activities. In the end, I gained more that I hoped for, especially friendship.
The sad thing though, is that some people I know can be just so practical. A mask worn shows the commitment and 'just do it' attitude, but beneath the mask is a hidden practical agenda. They always say you can see the true colours of one during the midst of all the 'shit', but what I have seen is that you can also see the true colours after all the 'shit' is over.
Confused? Yeah, this is one of those entry I just wanted to rant but didn't really know how to express myself :p
