I do savor the individualism... Which i found it makes every creatures different and unique. The traits of individualism makes the world as it is.
There are many different causes and effects to our seeming antipathy to individualism. For example, it is easy to find people who stereotype people according to their archetype. Let's said... if you are reading thicker book you are different than others; nerd and man-know-hows. But the point is, that's such individualism that makes people speculate over you... Because you can't help people who just simple making assumption on whoever you are.
This either an encouraging symptom of worldliness or should i call it as negative cynicism? or an indication that we are worryingly susceptible on the hoolabaloo on what ever people caused on us?
One more example is, we often perceived people on the way they lead their life. As we giving categories to various class of people; "Peasant", "Middle-Class", "Hi-Class". Can't we just simply take people as who they are not what they belong? Though it seems such a silly little thing, but anyway.. we've been living on such hegemony for years and it became a part of our system. And yet where is system exist, there will always be bureaucracy. And uncontrolably bureucracy killed the entire "Positive individualism" where we can see colors of people until there is no color, not white not black it is just simply "Negative individualism".
The negative part of individualism is where it become too individualistic and not even care about others. We are becoming selfish more and more. We don't even see others. And the saddest thing is we live on the trait of conformist. We take whatever it is. Or simply saying that,"Look, i just want
my beautiful life and do i have to bother what makes the world revolved?"
As i walked from Pudu Raya to my office, i can barely see a lot of beggars; The handicapped ones with the most are blind. It make me wonder for awhile. Are we not doing enough on providing them platforms to live; to earn their life? Or are they just being conformist, "I am blind, nobody gonna give me job and what kind of job suits me... Nay, i better beg, that's the oddest and halal job that i can do.."
See.. on how conformist had killed our spirit on living....
Some thoughts and saying from the trait of "Middle-Class" society said that, we ourselves everyday, finding ourselves, but there is a distressing to this fallow, called legion all babbling about self-awareness, motivation and goals.
Of course it is wearying individualism all over the time. It takes a lot of you. Some us need to rely on the comforts on living with an Apartment at Damansara, driving a MyVi and with 3 childrens. But that, isn't the only way of life, nor, conversely, are outward trappings of bourgeouis comforts neccesarily indicative of timid souls. It is on our mind, whether we are ready to challenge it or not. But if we do, of course there will always be risks. The point is, are you ready to burn out?
Rousseau said that, "Man is born free, and everywhere chooses to chain himself!". As i believe that we chosed our destiny and how we prepare ourselves for everyday. And as for the blinds who begged for their life, that's just the symbol of us... human being, we are blind and helpless, we can't just simply rely on others. It's all on our mind... the will that let you breathe everyday.
