What We Can Do

Restrictions. Boundaries. Shut up and no questions.

We're bred in a society that tells us what not to do, rather than what we can do.

The rationale behind could be the niggling fear within the higher ones that with inquiring minds and adventurous explorations, there will be questions abound. Coming out with an answer requires much work, so why bother encouraging questions in the 1st place?

While certainty can put minds at ease, it's not healthy for the growth and development of the nation. We need to get those brain juices flowing. So what if we plummet into an immeasurable situation? A situation which one is unable to derive a solution still with all the tools and knowledge at hand?

The answer? We need to create something out of nothing. We need assumptions, presumptions, experiments, hypothesis till we can prove a theory. A new theory.

What's the worst scenario if an upper one can't provide an answer to its people? I can't think of any. Unless one wants to take those useless pride into account, the selfish want of avoiding red-faced scenarios, which is pure bullshit. C'me on, we're all humans. It's better to share the puzzle with the people, get plenty more questions and have one of em stumbling upon a great discovery. Rather than shying away & be the king in your own land and a pauper in the eyes of the world, stop imposing your opinions on others and allow the people to grow and expand their horizons.

It's not necessary to provide an answer to each question. Encouraging the process of thinking itself is a great step forward.

So now tell us what we can do. And let us get cracking.


** I am one of those who say, "No, we can't do this. We can't do it that way..." and all the blah upon reflex, normally out of die-hard habits. This post is written upon reflections that I'm guilty of imposing self-barricading restrictions or what Buu will say, limiting beliefs. :)

If it sounds all too grim, pls forgive me. I'm just writing to remind myself or if there are actually any other ppl reading this blog that next time round that what we could do is go, "Hey, we should experiment this way and see if it works" or "Hey, that new road over there might just lead me out of this iffy place".

It takes practise to shake off the mentality of wanting to be certain of the way we solve a prob, and not willing to take the risk and plunge into infiniteness. I've started, and want to be reminded, just like this. :)

Erm, if this post does sound cryptic.. pls do let me know. I'll need to fine tune my style of writing in that case. I did not encrypt any hidden meanings, honestly. Just a generalisation of our everyday life. Till the next post, cheerio~
