Current Events
I miss those times when I craved for newspapers and magazines and how every minute of events managed to ignite me with passion to know and explore more. I anxiously seek for people to whom I could discuss my ideas completely without shame and frequently beg for corrections.
Certainly not debating in a formal stage. Not because I hate it but because, it’s not the kind of thing that I am interested at. Surely it’s beneficial for anybody because you’d learn more than reading, but the way it was introduced to me was quite horrific and traumatic. Sure, pressure is something that is needed to form “simple coal to a beautiful diamond”, but the way it was introduced to me was kind of an unhealthy competition, rather than something that could fuel my passion. But, what I learned was that the image that went blank was the image of me, standing in a center stage, dominating the arguments among groups of people. I never wanted to overthrow people willfully of their arguments, I just need people with open minds to whom we could discuss our ideas together, argue with each other but still manage to be friends professionally and personally.
Though in the course of time, I learned and realized that what it shaped me to be was quite useful; inquisitive, logical, skeptic, and somehow, fierce in-terms of asserting what is MORE logical and sensical.
I just need that sustaining drive. It can be sets of people, an event/s that could push me to learn something, an incentive that I could work on. Randomly, anything. The discussion, the ideas, the passion to know things. Those people whom I could just listen and talk to. Those people who are also as ignorant and are as dumb as me. Those kinds of friends. Those kinds of people. Where are you exactly?
