stupid cynicism.

read bfore somewhere that "diaries are records not so much of fullness, but of emptiness." funny that its in the days just before my exams that i blog more. to break the monotony of studying i guess. wonder how we had the stamina to mug so hard and so long for a levels. !

-there was a break. i blog hopped and read a seething-oh-so-trying-to-be-radical-blog. which raised my ire.-

you are not revolutionary and intellectual just by discussing political matters. you are not superior and sophisticated just by using the eff word and lambasting everything around you. you are not elevated by pushing things down, or in your self-circled failed attempt to do so. so don't you even start denigrating "religion" which to you is a lump of gray- not because there is nothing to see, but because you are blind to it. people do not subscribe to a religion because they are stupid, but because they see something, someone, in it which your myopic eyes fail to detect, in all their self-professed razor sharpness. you can't tear down what you don't know, and you will need to try harder to prove your point that religion is a festering disease of human construct. you need something more than foul language, more than narrow floppy opinion, more than fake objectivity.


ever heard those people who say religion is mass-produced for sappy sods who need to feed themselves feel-good tidbits? what do you say to that? that they are feeding themselves their own recipe of feel-good, becoming subjects of their own condemnation. and this is their recipe: a blind but wide-flung rebellion against age-old social institutions that they simply do not understand, and do not bother to understand. don't you have to know about what you are criticising? and knowing something thoroughly often entails a deep understanding that is NOT one-sided, that is not flippant nor sloppy, that is not based on a priori deduction. so what do they truly know about what they are lambasting? no, you limit your own understanding of it by your shallow cynicism. and you feed yourself with the ignorance of your own condescension.

ignorant god-haters i despise.
