I feel weird. Wait, I don’t think ‘weird’ is the right word. Maybe ‘confused’ is. But I don’t feel confused, too.
I just don’t know how I feel.
I am sure each and everyone of you has been in the same situation before. The moment when one of your friends or acquaintances is happy for something, but at that very same moment, you know that another friend or acquaintances of yours is in deep shit. This is how I am feeling now. This is what this is.
All these while we have been taught to forgive and forget, or forgive but not forget. Yeah whatever… Yaya papaya… Bottom line is, we are taught to forgive.
But, what if…
What if instead of learning to shield ourselves against anger, or pretend that we are not angry but (not so) deep inside we are ready to let out an emotional burst anytime, we are taught to just express ourselves? The moment you are angry or sad or disappointed with someone, you are supposed to vent your anger to him/her, and let him/her know what you think of him/her and what makes you angry.
If you feel like punching him/her in the face, do it.
If you feel like spitting some mocking words, spit it out.
There are some benefits to it:
1. People learn to think first before they say or do something.
2. There is no pretending
3. If both above-mentioned benefits fail to prevail, people will hurt and kill each other. This way, the world’s population would not grow at such a tremendous pace. Imagine what benefits the slowing down of world’s population growth can bring? More rooms to maneuver for job-seekers, reduced social stress, and the list goes on?
I have always thought about this so many times; I have always been in denial.
I have always looked around and I have always realized that I’m out of place. I am not where I belong to. It’s not that I know where I belong to, but this is definitely not the place.
