There's a proverb saying : When in Rome, do as the Romans do. However, there's a little disagreement from me about this saying. As the youngest in the family, I was born in the age of modernization. The society began to change slowly throughout the early 90s and the new millennium. I felt glad that I was brought up in the time where grasses are greener, but when I was little, I was blind about my true personality. It was not until now when I realised that I am a bohemian. I am a person with a personality totally abnormal to the modern civilization. This makes me feel out of place. I received several mocking and insults, however, I don't want to take them too seriously, instead, I will include them as one of my life lessons. I learned to be a better person. But it is not contrary to what I believe when I was little. The grass wasn't as green as I thought it will be. You see, the world is so beautiful, yet so cruel.
You cannot change nature, but you can change the way you live in it. If you ask me my views about the society, I would express more negative than positive. Of course, there are good people and bad people. But, I find most of them have rude, insensitive and impolite characters. They can't speak with a polite tune, like to give rude comments on several issues and can't seem to negotiate. There's no doubt that a fight and controversy can be started from the smallest problem. Some problems were easy to be solved with a little thinking and understanding. But due to some statements above, it took long enough for everything to turn back to the way it was.
Speaking of insensitivity, I noticed a lot of racism lately. I don't understand racists. Why are they so self-centered and so full of hatred? They disrupt the peace in this world. Somehow they always pick the wrong way in protecting their rights. I hate it when they make rude, insensitive jokes about some people, especially those people that are living in a hard life. Shame on them for making fun of poor and affected people. There's no need for racism. All humans are the same, regardless of their specialties. We just need to have a little more understanding, and compromise towards some things.
Despite all the cruelties in this world, there are still some people who take notice on what is happening. Some things we can avoid it from happening, but some things can't. Though, we should have known that the world is falling apart. We just don't know when it is going to end.
