___4e1. Devils in disguise__

Wednesday, April 05, 2006

I have deleted the previous post and apologized for my wanton use of language. In return, Royston has promised to be neither vulgar nor violent. I am glad, this matter has been settled much more civilly and swiftly than I expected.

Ah, the locking of the school gates. Well, maybe it was effective. However, the methods used were wrong. For example, if I get rich by underhanded means, does that mean I am correct? I presume not.

It may have worked this time, but will it be beneficial in the long run? Personally, I feel that this has aggravated the student population greatly. Initially, I had no strong feelings whatsoever about house practice. Now, I am beginning to despise it.

I perceive that the organizers have targeted the wrong areas. Instead of using forceful means, they should try to find out why people do not want to attend house practice. With this information, they will be able to solve the core of the problem for once and for all in a way that satisfies everyone. It may be difficult, but they could give it a shot at least.

Indeed, there are many lenses with which we may use to view the world. There is no absolute, but I conceive that there are different shades of gray. Some perspectives may be more valid than others.

There is a story which I think is rather meaningful. There was a man who had a gold watch; and his wife had beautiful long hair. One day, the man sold his watch to buy clips for his wife’s hair, and his wife sold her hair to buy gold accessories to match his watch. Ironical.

If one side is always giving in to the other, it is known as exploitation (which should be avoided, naturally). However, if both sides are too selfless, things may not be as good as we would like. Things aren’t very simple, sadly.

I am convinced that the least the organizer could do was to warn as in advance.

Apropos, I sweep the floor everyday. Not the whole class, but at least a portion of it (that’s the portion where I am located).
