I watched this movie about high school kids resisting their principal's whacked way of running their school. They were struggling for change and freedom.
and because of my strong despise for my strong detestation for my mother and her conventional way of thinking(like the principal from the movie) lately, it made me think:
What was the Bill of Rights made for when society frowns upon the enactment and exercise of these rights?
How can we be free and accepted at the same time? (We cannot say that we don't care because acceptance is a psychological and biological need.)
How can we impose change when we, ourselves, are frightened by change?
You might think this is just a struggle between me and my mother. Probably, but my point is one should either be free or not.
Our brain may be complex but we are like babies startled and panic-stricken when there's a change in our environment. We can adjust to it after sometime, but being forever in the transition of change, being stuck in the struggle between freedom and imprisonment, is exhaisting, terrifying and most of all confusing.
It's either you are free or not. Man or gay. Woman or Lesbian. Allowed or not.
Being in between brings absolute confusement, which in one way or another destroys something.
And I think this is what's happening to our world, stuck in between of struggling oppositions. The weak are confused, the powerful are trying to overpower one another, and only the wise can make their way out.
and this is why i hate society.
**either you give her freedom or not. You do not walk her around on a leash, and then fool her into getting in a cage.
you do not let her taste something you cannot give.
