To cut the story short, my professor explained to me that my book was made in Australia, and the others were made in the States. So as a kid who doesn't really care about that kind of shit, I got really confused, like, I didn't quite figure out how it relates to my concern. "Why does it have a different name?" "Why can't we follow just one name?" And he explained it further saying it's a matter of perspective. Boom taena mejo nagets ko na.
Bale hindi nga naman "Middle-East" ng Australia ang "Middle-East" ng Tate. Kaya ang nilagay nilang term sa Atlas NILA ang pangalan na nararapat sa perspektibo NILA. Napaka simpleng bagay nito na naituro sakin ng professor ko. Isang leksyon na nagbukas ng isipan ko sa sobrang daming bagay. Anjan na yung naunawaan ko yung pagkakaiba ng USC sa Metric system. Pero kung bakit siya big-deal sa 9gag di ko maintindihan.
Kung tutuusin, alam ko naman talaga na may iba-iba tayong perspektibo, hindi lang talaga natin inuunawa ng lubos. Kasi kung bibigyan talaga natin ng diin at atensyon ito, malamang maiiwasan natin ang hindi pagkakasundo sundo. May hugot talaga tong topic na to e, tiwala ka lang.
Why am I putting so much stress on this seemingly absurd topic? Is it just a filler for this blog or am I just lacking with interesting ideas? Yes. HAHA I'm actually running out of ideas. But this is very important to me believe me. All the things that I remember from my childhood, I consider a turning point in my life. And perception is one thing I value a lot. I value a lot of things so shut up! See, this is what goes on in my head... ALL THE FUCKING TIME. I start with a certain great idea and end up thinking about how it feels like to use meth or something. It just looks good doesn't it? Fuck I really wanna try it, but at the same time, why? If you're reading this, and kinda feels weirded out by how I operate, we might have a difference of opinion. What you think is crazy, might be ordinary for me. A difference in perspective. See how I try to connect this shit? No? K.
Growing up, I was always the one who gets to listen to my friends shitty problems. Everyone just felt like they can share with me all the crap they're dealing with. I enjoy it though. I love listening to people talk about their problems and dilemmas in their teenage life. I like that I get to share my opinion on the matter. You see, when you're outside the situation, when you're free from all the emotion and inhibitions, you get to see the bigger picture. You tend to understand what the actual problem is, because you are not affected with any sort of bias. And that gives you a rational perception on things.
When your friend is thinking about whether or not to abort her child, and asks for your advice, what do you say? Do you judge her first and then put your two cents on the matter? Do you encourage her to go through with the abortion or do you persuade her to keep the child. In a circle of friends, everyone has his/her own opinion. One friend might disagree with the idea of abortion because he was raised in a very conservative family. Another could approve of your decision because she might have chosen the same path before and feels like she made the right choice. A certain friend might consider putting himself in your position and consider the consequences of both options. Weighing the pros and cons. In the end, of course, you should not base your decision solely on the opinions of others. They don't get to live your life after deciding what to do. They will always feel entitled to judge you no matter what. And it is always easier to be outside of the situation and pass judgement. It's easier when all you get to do is feel better about yourself and to look down on someone.
Do what you think you could live up with in the long run. It all boils down to what will make you sleep at night. 'Coz no matter what your decision is, pretty sure your friends will be sleeping soundly eitherway.
People could see things in a different way. The sooner you understand what it really means, the sooner you get to become a better person. Their perception is mostly created by years and years of several various influences. From their childhood, from the people they associate with, from their parents... from anything that has made an impact on them. If they choose not to listen to different viewpoints other than their own, it will eat them alive. It will start a type of cult mentality where they can no longer distinguish reason from wishful thinking.
Sarado na ang isip para sa mga bagong perspektibo. Hindi na niya kayang ilagay ang sarili sa sitwasyon ng iba. Hindi niya maisip kung bakit ganoon ang pananaw ng isang tao. Kung paano niya nagawang maniwala sa isang bagay na hindi mo pinapaniwalaan. Kung ano ang dahilan kung bakit niya nagawa ang isang bagay. Kung ano ang puno't dulo?
Bakit nangaliwa si Mister? Dahil ba manloloko siya at gusto niyang saktan si Misis? O baka dahil wala ng pagpapahalaga si Misis sakanya. Bakit wala ng pagpapahalaga si Misis kay Mister? dahil ba makasarili si Misis at nakahanap na ng ibang pagkakaabalahan? O baka dahil puro inom at barkada ang inatupag ni Mister. Bakit nagrerebelde si Jr.? Para ba bumagay sa Nirvana tshirt niya at sa checkered niyang chuck-te? O baka naman dahil hindi na magkasundo ang mga magulang niya sa bahay.
Pakiramdam ko kasi, laging may dahilan kung bakit ganito si ano. Bakit at saan nagmula yung ganyang paguugali ng isang tao. Kumbaga may isang pangyayari sa bawat tao na humulma sa kanyang pananaw. May dahilan kung bakit ka malandi, kung bakit ka nagdrugs, kung bakit ka bully, kung bakit mayabang ka, kung bakit masyado kang mabait, kung bakit lagi kang inaabuso, kung bakit ang tingin mo sa sarili mo ay mas mataas pa sa iba.
Just think about it. If you ever get into a conflict with another person. When you disagree with all the things he believes in, just give your best to calm the fuck down and understand where he is coming from. Fully understand the background of that person. You might find out you already won the battle even before it starts.
"If you can't change the situation, change the way you think." This quote basically sums up the whole post. Keep an open mind. Accept the possibility that you could be wrong, or that you might have been wrong in a while now. That's why it's okay to have a difference in opinion. You get to see yourself in a different light.
Sabi ko na malalim talaga to e, shit di ko akalaing ang daming paragraph. Sa simula, gusto ko lang talagang i-focus yung importansya ng "ibang perspektibo", at ng pasasalamat ko kay Sir Henry sa pagbigay ng oras niya para ipaintindi sakin ang tunay na kahulugan ng perspektibo. Sana, kung nagawa mong tiisin basahin to, sana mejo naalog yung utak mo, kasi alam naman natin talaga na iba iba tayo ng pananaw sa buhay, hindi lang talaga natin naiintindihan yung dahilan at kung bakit at saan nanggaling yung paninindigan na yun.
Kaya bago ako yabangan ng isang tao, sinusukat ko muna yung kilos at mga salitang ginamit niya, yung bawat paghinga niya, kung kailan lumalakas ang tono ng boses niya, kung san siya hindi tumingin sa mata mo at kung san niya iniba yung topic. Suriin mo mabuti, kasi baka kaya nagyayabang yan, e kasi hindi niya naramdaman na pinapahalagahan siya ng pamilya niya nung bata pa siya. At sa pagyayabang niya dinadaan at nilalabas ang hinanakit na yun. Kaya intindihin mo nalang. Dahil kung gusto mong gumanti sa taong mayabang, wala kang ibang dapat gawin kundi kawaan mo nalang.
ma-i-rhyme lang, para may impact.
