The world is complex.
Everyday I learn lessons from new events that happen around me and today wasn’t an exemption. Sometimes I wonder why can human beings be such complex creatures that can never be categorize into a group. Is that even possible when there are so many factors that affect us whether psychologically or physically and thus changing the way we react and respond? Yesterday, I borrowed this book from the library, namely “7 personality types”. The book illustrates and explore the 7 different identities: King, Priest, Sage, Scholar, Artisan, Warrior and Server. The purpose of the author writing such a book is to help others identify who they really are and hence develop their potential according to their individual identity.
While I was reading the book, I was amazed by how I could easily identify my friend’s “classes” yet somehow no matter what, some people just doesn’t belong into a category. They ain’t exactly “homeless”. It’s just that their behavior to me seems all mashed up and is not confined to just one particular group as mentioned in the book. At that time, I was wondering if I was able to easily recognize mine and then improve myself. But when I read further, I realized thats almost impossible and to me, human beings are not simplistic creatures. We cannot be defined by just one identity and that is what makes us special. But on the other hand if you look at it, we are then all belonging to a group already isn’t it?
Similar people and their way of thinking. Why do people of the same traits exhibit certain behavior? Amazing and strange at the same time. There’s some many questions in this universe and we can’t possibly solve it all. Its funny when you are living your life, we are living ours but at the same time, we can’t figure out ourselves. And then, how do we even live our lives?
Humans are not explained by only one concept or theory where you study that in mathematics which makes it even more interesting to look at and analyze. There’s no hard facts, none. Instead, there’s a whole new world for us to explore not only others but ourselves. While I was on my job as usual in the afternoon, it just dawned on me. Humans are strange, really strange and unexplainable. Why are the all the rich people educated? And why are not all the educated people rich? The statement just doesn’t hold true anymore when you turn them around.
Another one would be: People that are civilized are educated however those that are educated by not be civilized. If you just sit in a chair and think, you’ll realize that you can churn out so much more of them. So many doubts and questions that are difficult to figure out. And just one line might not be able to fully explain. I guess in life, there are too many factors affecting each and everyone of us. Its like in a prestige school, there will definitely be dropouts. There will be minorities that does not really blend in with the others. They stand out for various reasons and the reason may not only lie within them, but also at others.
Which means that stereotyping would never work because there would bound to be something different about everyone.. which makes everyone similar at the same time.
The world is just complex.
