At school
[this post is befuzzled, but I shall leave it like it is... rushed thoughts, garbled...]location: computer room at school
time: 12:13pm
what the...: it's study time, when the classes are split up and we are given a period to do research, homework, anything schoolish really. Obviously that's not quite what I'm doing.
I don't want to be self-centred, but I think I am.
I know there is a core of survivalism inside people, those instincts passed down through the generations - through evolution - which enable us to survive. It's basic, reactionary and vital... But sometimes it just sickens me. Within me, at the core, I found not the desire to improve our world but to improve my life (which is kinda crazy because when you think about it because helping other people makes you feel better about yourself, makes you feel worthy, boosts everything which makes life worth living).
A couple of days ago when doing homework for my Journalism class I came across an interview with Queen Rania of Jordan. In the last paragraph of the story, she said something which made me think: the kind of statement that you want to clasp to your heart. It went something like... "I don't believe happiness comes from within. I think you have to look outside yourself, to see whether you are making a difference." You have to ask yourself whether the world is better for having you in it.
