i've been wrong all along; people are complex, and i've been so simple-minded in thinking that people can be summed up by a phrase, or their fields of interest.
clothes do not make the man, and grades do not make the person. the person is defined by much broader universal ideals than just the field he or she is in.
"What're you studying?"
"Performing arts."
"Oh wow, that's so cool! I admire you for going for what you want."
no, that's nowhere near admiration.
27 years of age
first year science student in uni
elective: film studies
stereotyped 'crummy delinquent' primary, secondary and tertiary education
worked for 5years as a flight steward after army
came to melbourne without a clue with regards to lodging
ended up in a shophouse with 5 other students from all over the world
amazing knowledge of film, and dazzling ability to discuss and appreciate them which half of the so-called literary students couldn't even fathom
now that's what i call amazing.
the ability to engage and appreciate art despite being a science student, and the interest in science despite being an arts student.
afterall, wasn't science the school of practical experimentation and observation that derived from the search for answers? the answers to the philosophical questions which take into perspective the beauty and art that surrounds us? are they not one and the same? the system that governs us has so thwarted and perversed the mindset we have of these two things that complement each other, and are not mutually exclusive...... it's a shame
