was talking with family today and it dawned on me why i liked some people so much -
they are truthful.
and i can name some of such =) they make me happy. in a world where pp think they can hide, it's like fig leaves to God... n to some who know better... n it is sianz. simply sianz. idk liars. n the worst thing is that many people dont think they are lying when they are! somehow the level of truth gets so low it hits dirt.
ok i did not come on here to gripe. i came on here to talk about my dreams of a world that can be known truly. that communication goes more like telepathy and that people know what you think and what you are like. we can understand truly without the cumbersome masquerade and needing to decode "what did he mean by that?"
but it can be really scary for most cos where then would privacy be?
but the issue at hand is
1) we human beings utmost innate desire is to know and be known. is for connection. and words just dont cut it. if we could do away with the fear of being rejected when we are known, this fear and needing privacy would be done away with.
2) privacy is a modern construct. suddenly with more wealth, we are able to have our own rooms, close our doors, etc. just a few decades ago, even our parents had to sleep 10 pp tog. what privacy is there to talk about? and they didnt have issues like we would if we were to do a 10-er. we would die but they? they lived. cultures trace back to communal life that was so key. we attribute issues like needing therapy as knowing better, but seriously, maybe our problems are self-constructed. we give ourselves rooms and APART-ments and then complain about the loss of the "kampong spirit" and that the younger generation are disconnected and dont know how to "do life". ha.
3) furthering this, i would argue that the need for privacy is a FALLEN state - think Eden. what privacy were you talking about? n we humans are ever seeking to get back to paradise from which we fell from... yeah so hold onto your privacy, and refuse to be known. go hide from a God who knows you truly and loves you truly? we have been running from and not getting what we truly need since Adam...
this fear is producing so much problems... oh well... i have just loss interest in this thread of thought... i'll go off now...
