caught jack neo's JUST FOLLOW LAW today. which i thought i enjoyed it quite a fair bit. it's very localised. depicting how things are in our current society. and more often than not, i enjoyed the mockery at our daily life thru the scenes in the movie. no matter what organisation you are working in/with in sg, may it be ur workplace, student organisation, army or sch.
a stab at our own reality it may seems. but at the same time, i was also laughing at myself. the things i do that is so similarly expressed in the movie.
and the one expression that really caught my expression and set me pondering. the part when gurmit and fann wong exchanged their souls and body via an accident. and they ended up living each other's life.
when is the last time we actually stepped into the shoes of others and realise the problem he/she is facing ? when is the last time we spare a thought for others and even ourselves ?
so how right you are and how wrong are others ?
do we really need to literally be in the body's of the others to realise how they feel and understand what they are going through ? what is this so that we cannot spare a thought for others.
that is because we all are selfish. you and i. everyone. much as i am very disappointed to say. we are all growing up in a selfish society. there is no we. only i. and it's ironic that in sch, we are learning abt teamwork and caring and sharing. but as far as i see for myself in these recent yrs, everyone is in a way selfish. i would say it's wrong. but neither will i approve of it. but tt is the reality here. do i change the world ? do i change the people ard me? or do i allow these people to change me ?
so do i learn to be more selfish ? well to some extend it will make me feel better.
i will only be happy when the people around me are happy. a common sentence isn't it ? but much would i like to witness it actualising, it is but a fairytale that dun exist before and around me. unless the only exception i can think of it paternal and maternal instinct. but even so, there are cases of parents and children fighting over assets. you be the judge for that sentence.
and abt the concept of just following the law. i somewhat beg to differ. law is but a set of system meted out so that maximum equality can be compromised to each and everyone of us. it doesn't necessary ensure fairness to everyone. there is no fairness. nor is there right or wrong. but nevertheless, we need to come up with a compromised right and wrong, fairness or unfairness that we all follow so that we all can co-existed. peacefully. or maybe we can put it that so that it's easier to govern ?
and blindly following the law. this issue is interesting. but i shall save it for other day. it's 3. gonna slp. work's in tml.
till then, cheers ppl.
