I have
aspired to get into a prestigious school (no explanation needed) and I have
succeeded. If possible, it is customary to go up the ladder, i.e., enroll in a
more prominent school. But what if life led you somewhere else, somewhere the
hoi polloi nor the superman would not normally expect you to be?
The new environment,
peoples, schedule, academic system push my adaptability grade to its limit. I got
accustomed to a life which mandates me to wear black and white everyday, to
cohabitate with praying or pretending-to-do-so group of people, and to arise at
a particular time – everything is dictated by time or duration. More than half
of my conscious life was run as such. Now that life presents itself as a free
state that needs governance, I feel like the first responsibility is an
overhaul.
Whence necessities
were somehow scant and coordinated
Whence externality
was not a problem
Whence
knowledge seeks after you not the contrary
Whence decision
is communal not solitary
Whence the
information highway is filtered and arrested
Whence
personality is tailored and impliedly adulterated
Whence divinity
is robed superficially
Whence
certain manifestations of desire are forbidden
Whence
pleasure is a luxury in another life
Whence
power is in the hands of a few
Whence
contrary actions are dealt with as prescribed
When the
old is new
When subjectivity
is drowned in objectivity
When life
is premeditated
I choose to
break free.
