Whence... I Break Free



            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.
