Another thing I wanted to address was
the concept of misconceptions. I will state and you can all quote me on this,
that I have a different view on how society should run. What I don't like is
when people try to agree with me, and they don't know what they are talking
about. In school, most of the people in my classes are able to respect my
opinion, but they do not want to try and see my view. I don't become angry at
this, rather, I become saddened that they don't have the strength to try and
understand, but that topic is for another day. Anyway, I was in one of my
classes a while back, and there is a child who sits by me. Now, for the sake of
privacy, I will be keeping the name of the class, and the name of the students
involved, altered. Lets call the kid behind me Jack. Now, Jack just wants to
fit in. I, being the only student who actually acknowledged his presence, was
the one opening Jack saw to make a friend. (on a side note, why do people have
a tendency to forcefully make friends in a new school, to those people I say,
CALM THE HELL DOWN) Jack needed that opening badly, I mean, who knows when he
will have another chance like that again. So, Jack, in his false confidence due
to my acknowledgement of his presence, spoke to me. Someone in my class must
have told Jack of my views, because the boy would only talk about my views, as
if there was nothing else to do. In most cases, I embrace any individual who is
genuinely curious in the same things I am, but, in all honesty, the boy didn't
know jack! The boy was just spouting out anything that had anything to do with
my views. To make this easier for you guys to understand, lets say I was a fan
of The Beatles, and the person you are talking about is mentioning anything
from the actual band, to the insect. That is how badly this person was in terms
of his understanding of my views. I told the boy that frankly, he didn't know
what the hell he was talking about. The only advice I have to the Jacks of the
world is, if you don't know something, don't state, just question if you are
genuinely intrigued; and if you have the same motives as Jack, I really hope we
don't meet in real life.
That's the last topic I wanted to talk
about, real life. I don't know if you have recognized it, but some people get their
identities stolen, hell, some people get their Facebook used by someone.
Doesn't it make you wonder that whoever you're talking to on the other line, or
who you're texting, is actually the person you mean to be sending such messages
to? I mean, who knows, maybe I'm not actually Rodolfo (I mean, of course I'm
the real one, but for the sake of example) and you guys just read the name and
assume? Isn't it weird that as the world advances, we grow farther apart? It
grows so far apart that we may not know who we are even talking to anymore.
