lemmings.
12:57 AM hmmmm. have you ever heard of the lemmings? those small rodents who seem to commit suicide off the cliff by following one another. and copying the actions of the others. though it has always been a misconception that lemmings hurl themselves off the cliff by following their friends, people have always cited the lemmings theory. well, lemmings, hmmm lemmings seems like rodents that aren't too scary looking, unlike mice. but they do scary things. and i first heard of the stories at one of virginia cheng's leadership talk in nj. and no, i didnt fall asleep during those talks, i did listen. and i found it interesting but i nv thought that it could really apply to human, people, beings. but today, i found a very warped rendition of the lemmings theory. i was appalled when i read what i did. but you know, just a little shocked, maybe very. the details seem a little weird and off. even my friends are puzzled. well, oh boy, lemmings. lemmings still do exist, in a weird warped way though. lack of creativity, thats what shihui calls it. tired minds cant seem to think v well on their own right? i remember having this exercise book in primary school that says free expression. you write essays down based on your own free thoughts, but mostly, tchers give u some topic as a guideline to follow. kids thought of their own stories then, they had a mind of their own then. no one else read anyone else's work, thought about it and used it as their own else where. just doesnt seem right to do it. maybe those were the kiddy days, doesnt seem to apply now. really makes me wonder how many people spend time thinking and generating their own thoughts rather than lifting that of others. like the lemmings, maybe it's easier and faster and more foolproof. maybe those pple like doing it like that. maybe they find it easier on themselves. suit yourself. i dont like it that way. never do, never will. nevermind if you dont understand this entry. you don't really have to. |
