“Most of us walk around as if we were sleep-walking. We really don’t experience the world fully, because we’re half asleep, doing things we automatically think we have to do.” (Tuesdays With Morrie)
This line struck me much along with the lecture given by A/P about the need of constantly reflecting on things we encounter because of the too many things that we remotely do every day. Many who come across me I believed would describe me as a person with few words or more crudely, boring. Holding a conversation sometimes poses great difficulties as I often have problems organizing my trains of thoughts in a short time and hence have problems putting my message across. I was being rather cynical at first when the professor told us how he spend a fraction of his time on daily, monthly and yearly basis to reflect on what he has done so that he would have a clear direction of where he is heading to. It occurred to me that it is extremely wearing to have to have such disciplines in life and why wouldn’t it be correct to just lead a life of spontaneity and carefree. Then I realized that allowing my train of thoughts to drift off constantly hinders me from connecting well with people and to a certain extent, experiencing life. Therefore I came to a conclusion that, a rigid fixation of time for me to do reflections is mighty impossible, but, a reflection once in a while would be great..and so! it's time for me to shop for a nice journal book!
note: this is a fraction of the journal i'm supposed to hand in by the end of the program..well.... prolly have to take out the last part :D
