... when you're gone, Í'll still be here to hold on...
Ok.
I do realise that my dec. post has created alot of controversy in this blog, upon reading your comments, I feel that maybe my tone has been grossly misinterpreted. What I truly meant to say was this: we come from "top" schools, we've been conditioned to the mindset that we are the elites, and yet we're doing nothing about it, we're really just flaunting our positions in life. Now, I know that it isn't very fair to say that this rings true of everyone, but of the majority of our generation, it does.
We're too pampered, too spoilt, we haven't seen much of the world yet, I know that I belong to that group as well. I may be young, and yes, I'm immature, but this is my blog, and by blogging, I am actually growing up. Having read through all those comments, I do concede that the kids from what we've cruelly and egoistically dubbed "neighbourhood"schools actually make the better friends, and that many people, because they come from private/independent schools, actually don't have the word 'loyalty'in their dictionary, but then again, that was just my personal opinion.
And by expressing myself in that sense, I meant, in no way, whatsoever, to insult the less-privelleged kids, and I do also acknowledge the fact that many of the PMs and all came from neighbourhood schools, and that they too are equally capable of running our nation, but I believe that it is only one in a hundred who is willing to step out of their mould.
Again, I stress that I did not harbour any intentions whatsoever of insulting anyone who has read that recent post. It is, truly, written by someone too young and immature to think of consequences and also inexperienced and blind towards any political, social or economical issues.
I apologize for overlooking the dire consequences and also for sounding so callous.
And I would like to thank whoever tagged me with their comments and insights, it has helped me to mature in that aspect of thinking. Thank you.
