The Human Instrumentality Project

Some random musings today:

Ever wondered, as you sit in the train, what the person across from you is thinking? Or what the person beside you is thinking? As you walk along the street, what are the thoughts running through your head, and what thoughts might be in the head of the people you walk past? Sometimes we need to be reminded that people around us are living, breathing, thinking and feeling beings just like we are. Therefore we have to spare a thought for others as well.

Have you ever heard complaints about or seen for yourself callous deeds performed by a friend? By a person who you like, who you talk to every day, who you hang out with often? Have you ever wondered how a person you know so well and like so could do such a terrible thing? Have you, sometimes, found it hard to defend his behavior? How then, do you accept the fact that your friend is capable of acts you consider bad?

I have too much time on my hands, I think. Not a bad thing, for a while, but seriously, humans are not built to slack. Meanwhile I'm drafting up a list of things to do before I enter university and hopefully that will keep me happily occupied. There're tons of people whom I haven't met in ages and whom I want to meet up with. Everyone's been busy, either with army or university, making common time very hard to find. Now that army life's almost over (25 more days for me!) it is a great time ro reaffirm friendships and also to do some time-intensive stuff, like learning new stuff and tidying up my mountains of junk. Then everything will be shipshape before I embark on the next phase of my life.
