Real life comparison
Friday, August 05, 2005 After getting a few feedbacks for my previous post bout everything that you should read bout it in order to get the grip of it (please don't be lazy if you havent do so.. :P), i decided to illustrate it more based on the feedbacks i got from my sis (juei), mz and Kar Swee (my dad, seriously...) I got the meaning of "we love to see people acting stupid", because it is somewhat entertaining.. However, what i am really curious about is the "somewhat" that make it entertaining, i dont really bother or care about whether it is "idiotic" or plain "innocence" in the nature of such act.. But the dynamics behind it that structured the phenomenon/na. Innocence or Idiotic is just one thin line across, and i understand the fact that, act stupid doesn't mean you are stupid, some wise guys do act stupid in order to get what they want by drawing other people to think that he is stupid. Of course I am aware of all those, that's why i am asking all those during my previous post in such a pretentive manner (try to figure out what i am trying to get at, even if you cant nevermind, it's just part of my ego) , nonetheless, what i was aiming to adress on this issue was are we really that sadistic, it might be sublimantle, however the hidden psyche that lurking beneath us might suggest that as a displacement to our inadequency and urge to seek for comfort by feeling that, "we arent that bad after all" or in other words, consolitdation for out disatisfaction in our own perception of "self". It may not be true, yet it may not be wrong... It's just like when you ask somebody to be him/herself, so that him./her could stop "pretending" or "changing" in order to get the very best of what the person truly possessed as an individual (which is a vecry typical and classic wsay of advising somebody when you do not know how to handle his/her direction of living his/her life). Come on, ask yourself how vague and vivid is that phrase "be yourself" sounds to you? If oneself truly know the meaning of "be yourself" or in other words "self actualized" in a psychological sense, he/she dont even need your advice, in facthe/she could easily become a successful politician, thinker, religious leader, or fields in any dimension. You might say that this world aint just black and white, there's a whole patch of gray which we havent discovered, what if you already did, and find that even those shades of grays couldnt fulfill the complicatedness of this world, and what truly lurked beyond for us to discover? Sorry for it to sound abit philosophical, but what if one that, u discovered that the true form or the optimal form of yourself is to somewhat keep in pace with changes (aggresively) and constantly for, like an amoeba's destiny to mimic and perfectionalize until it reaches the peak condition to evolvek, would you accept a comment or advice from someone else that suggest you to "be yourself"? What if the true me is to not be me in a stable manner? that's not just a gray matter, it's beyond our current knowledge, what do we call all those? Ok, it might gone abit too far and jargonish to some of you, so, let's just pull back to the idiotic vs innocence context, let's use the example of famous comedian Ben Steeler vs Adam Sandler, Ben Steeler being the representation of someone funnily stupid and Adam Sandler as the individual who constantly potrays as innocently funny in most of his chracters in shows (eg. Happy Gilmore, Waterboy, etc). We look at both of their performance and we both laugh becoz of their act, but not becoz of what they truly are, becoz they are permitted by us indirectly to portray those. So, just ask yourself do you realize of all these, when you are watching the show? Do you call this the gray area point of view while looking at this? I guess not. So, sorry bout being sophisticated and blabbing on stuffs that might only be comprehanded by my ownself and yea, i am saying that gray area of the matter isnt that gray anymore. Even the greatest scientist could only predict what;s beneath the core of our earth but not an exact picture of the true possibility. Before the day i pass on my life, i shall work on this. P.S- this is not the result of reading thru Freudian based chapter on psychoanalysis and all teh theory contents, maybe partly, but it is an inspiration that accumulated.
