Singaporeans…Puppet..or Zombies?

Dictating Lives

In your entire life span, you will definitely come across two forms of dictation.One would be in your earliest stage. For us Singaporeans, it would definitely be all about getting our “butts “constantly spanked with the “rotans” for every single mischief we do.We are firmly moulded by our parents forcing us at every turn to adopt ‘good’cognitive behaviours that will essentially prevents us from astraying.That phase of dictation for the better or worse is probably the most useful and necessary portion of our lives.

Then comes the 2^nd part of the dictation, that falls in place ,for most Singaporeans, during their teen hood till their adulthood. It comes in the form of people around us dictating and constantly trying to take charge of our lives. This has various names like peer pressure..and bla bla. The sad thing is that SINGAPOREANs for all their education and quick thinking’s aren’t able to discern such behavioural patterns and quickly fall into traps such as these. They allow others to start defining their lives by following pre-defined notions of what ‘Live’ should and is all about.

 

For simplicity sake:We now have defined concepts for what living is all about.Its about getting a life that refers to going out as much as u can.But sadly everyone is blinded by one simple fact,’getting’ a life a all about doing what u love and not what u think u may like.

See,the point of this whole story is that, we are living lives with predefined concepts that tend to be on parallel with so many people. I really do not believe that Singaporeans are gunning for that. A zombie is a word to call them.Becoming slaves to the system is what most Singaporean have become.In our quest to achieve the Singapore Dream,we have given up ourselves in its entirety.Losing our identies together with our personalities.
