questions unanswered

why do we what we do?

is it simply to derive some form of pleasure from it, or because it has already become routine to us? is it peer pressure, or that we have nothing better to do? is it our guilty conscience, or perhaps the lack of it? could it be that we are all attention-seeking souls with no desire to be left out, and that every instance is a chance to make new friends?

how much of our daily language is littered with vulgarities?

is there a sentence without shit, fuck or damnyou? how about sheesh, i fish you or doinkyou? can you imagine not cursing at all? is it even possible to have our sentences retained at an all-polite level, with nothing harsh or rude or condescending that has insidious effects on others? it comes so naturally, the need to express the extent of situations in so-called emphasizing words.

why isnt there ever enough time in a day?

maybe if we oversleep less, sleep earlier, eat healthier and prioritize more, there would be no more skipping of classes. the timetable would actually run properly, for once. there would be time for work, play, eat, sleep and everything in between. if only we could put into action what we plan. the enemy isnt always procrastination. the enemy is our lack of persistence- we don't try hard enough.

if the ink tubes in pens have weight, does the weight of all our exam papers increase as more and more ink is used up?

sigh. true true. i swear to much. its time to cut down the swearing...and the drinking...and the sleeping in lectures...and the perpetual wastage of ink when i doodle in lecture halls.

next week shall be no swear, no sleep in lecture week!


oh btw, the weight of the exam papers does increase when the ink is used up.

i guess I see swearing as just another form of expression. The only reason why the words are considered vulgar is because of society, when they are just another communication tool. Sure, if you use them, you run the risk of offending someone, as the words are understood to be vulgar by most in society, but... they are also useful to emphasise (as you said) the extent of a situation. I swear, I'm proud of it. Um... fuck?

nice post liss :)

Doesn't the conveyed meaning carry more weight than the word itself? If I said 'well, fish you!' wouldn't it be as bad, considering the meaning behind it?

I like the pic

dan! il keep you to your words =] how do you know for sure that the weight of paper really does increase anyway?

hello lx.. DAMN the weather today. hehe.

hmm what you said is true, barchiel. odd, calling you that. but it still shows something doesnt it? that at least you're trying, and hopefully, in time, will just drop it altogether.
