What Education Did.

Aww ): Today is a sad sad day. I just read Andrew's blog post and he is going to bring his blog down because of NS commitments. I seriously think there is no need to close down the blog but well, its his call. I'll leave his link until the end of this month before I take it down. Dont worry guys, i'll continue this for awhile.

Do you remember awhile back i talked about jumping into conclusion? Yea, I have this problem. Well initially i thought it was a problem. It is real unfair to the people around me whenever I concluded the wrong thing, and sometimes i can be very bias and extreme. If you look at this 'problem' from another angle, i guess im just NOT a victim of education as yet.

Apart from making people skeptical, education equips us with the ability to see an issue from various angle. That IS a good thing but not when people dont get it and start seeing EVERY isssue from EVERY angle. It greys right and wrong. Lets have some examples.


context: John is irresponsible.
event : John is late.
conclusion: He didnt leave house early.

Well, for this case John could have met with an accident, saw a black cat, forgot his keys, miss the bus etc etc etc but isn't it most logical to conclude that he just dont value punctuality and left his house late?


Context: John has expressed interest to the class chairperson on all class events but is always left out.
Event: John is left out from a class outing.
conclusion: The class chairperson (or the class) doesnt want John to be present.

Well, this is also a logical conclusion that I would make although people would tell me "maybe the class chairperson forgot?" or "They thought you didnt want to go.." or "They thought you already knew.."


Well, what I am saying is not everything should be viewed from multiple angles. I understand this and am accused for jumping into conclusions every now and than but from where i see it now, I dont think i am wrong. And i thought he was more mature because he could see from more viewpoint. Bullshit!

Random: sad sad life.
