Lasing ka din ba?
So I've had this sort of an argument with our professor on Professional Ethics about how everything in the world seem romanticized and that I’m tired of that shit.
Actually, before I snapped and just had to spark an argument, my everything was already cringing and throwing up and just fuck my chest was in agony because of all the conventional and stereotypical rubbish he was throwing at us. I wanted to contest every word he says but I have to bottle it all in because I know for sure it would eat up time hence the lesson would not progress (bc i wanted it to end quicker than usual).
This is where the shit happens. We started a topic with human dignity and equality n shit but all of a sudden it came down to love. I think it came from “what makes humans different from other animals” thing, normally we’d think it’s free will and reason. But srsly, love? (tbh i also dont think its free will and reason, i can expound on this on a different post) Right there and then he asked us to stand up and place our hands at what we think is the most important part of our body. ‘Bout 90% of the class placed their hands at their chests, meaning their hearts. 9% idk, didn’t specifically notice. 1% was I, placing my hands in the air. “My everything is important” I answered when the prof asked me why I didn’t place my hands anywhere.
And so it begun. He asked “May pinagdadaanan ka ba, iho?” “Pag mga ganyan kasi may pinaghuhugutan yan.”(talks to the class) I answered “Sir wala po, ayan po kasi yung problema, lahat ng bagay akala natin tungkol sa love. Kaya madaming tao ang nasasaktan kasi napipilit lang sila magmahal. Society forces us to think that we should be in love, subconsciously. Pwede na nga rin po natin isipin na society is doing it intentionally because of the huge volumes of romance material it throws at people. Love songs here, love movies there. Yung alam niyo yun sir, hindi naman kasi talaga feel ng ibang tao na magmahal, pero yung utak nila nalalason na kailagnan pumasok sa isang romantic relationship. In the end, nabibigo. Or kahit sabihin natin siya yung magsucceed, mabibigo naman yung ibang nagkagusto sakanya na nalason lang din ng pagiisip na na mention ko po. People are drunk on love, sir."
He answered, “Siguro nga, pero, iho, ayos lang ba sayo hindi ka mahalin ng magualng mo?”
“Sir, as long as napalaki naman po ako ng maayos at nasatisfy naman po basic needs and rights ko po, ok lang po sa'kin. Sir, kasi di ko naman po kailangan magmahal para makagawa ng mabuti sa kapwa, what more pa po sa anak ko kung magkakaron man ako sa hinaharap.” is what I said.
The conclusion was so-so. He said that we were still at the early stage of the entire lesson plan, that was why he can’t say more about what we were talking about because it skips to to the final part if we kept on exchanging words.
In the end, I apologized for trying to jump the gun. It was instinct. I uhh honestly think I shouldn’t hsve apologized because I didn't know that was the plan for his lesson. Anyway, thanks for sticking till the end of this crap
