Questions

It’s another Monday. What makes this Monday even more unbearable than the rest is the internet connection – it’s down (again), campus-wide. It doesn’t take someone with IQ 120 to realize how dependant we are on the www these days. Mdm for example, spend a lot of time in cyberspace (and this has since worsened with the invasion of Facebook into my life and its ever increasing number of mini games). In fact, I can’t work at all without internet connection. I hate to say this, but I am reliant on and is kinda helpless without the www (and this (sadly) speaks the same for both my work and personal life). It is merely 15 years since our acquaintance.

Few days back MM shared one of her counseling cases with me and since then, it has set me thinking. You know how sometimes you challenge certain issues and no one can convince you that you are wrong except that your actions are against societal norms and therefore your non-conformity is an erroneous behavior. E.g. when you have kids and your kids start to be sexually active, how can you tell them that having consenting sexual relationships below 16 is, wrong. How can you advise a kid who overly shared and divulged his/ her sexual activities that being an exhibitionist is, wrong. That parading your naked body down Holland V when it’s your body you’re showing, and you actually have the guts to show what others might want to see is, wrong. That sun tanning in your birthday suit is, wrong.

Whatever.
