it's kind of disheartening when you get into and accident whether big or small, and the first thing someone asks is whether your car's ok or whether your parents are angry that you ruined a new car.

i dont expect people to care about my general well- being but i get annoyed when people seem to care about my general everything-else-that-can-go-wrong-in-my-life-being

but tht's just me again,focusing on the bad when many others wished nothing but safety for me. everything's a big mess lately, and i cant seem to figure out why.

Psychonomist.

So some time in June, I took a little quote out of Sophie's world and shared it with my world:

Keeps me grounded every time. Just to illustrate how great minds think alike, here are a few related quotes from different great minds:

"One of the painful things about our time is that those who feel certainty are stupid, and those with any imagination and understanding are filled with doubt and indecision"
-Bertrand Russel

"The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool"
-William Shakespeare

"Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge"
-Charles Darwin, well despite his ridiculous theory of evolution, have to commend him on his gifted philosophical mind.


to share a little bit of how I got around to learning about these quotes, it was a nice gloomy Sunday evening when I decided to ponder upon the existence of humanity around me. Post-human interaction, I also started to study why humans behave the way they do? Why some say things they don't mean. Why some say things they don't like to hear themselves. Why some believe in being something they are not. Yes many many questions but most importantly, I was trying to understand how a person can say something that is of his or her greatest concern, yet act the complete opposite, perhaps just perhaps, without realising it. 
So I found the Dunning-Kruger theory, looked into Bipolar disorder, read a little bit of Freud's psychology of projection etc etc, you know, stuff normal people do before the monday blues. 
I'd love to go into psychology. psychonomist. That sounds better than it means.
