I don't ever want to take a photo of a malay, a chinese and an indian holding hands and smiling into the camera, then use that as proof that there is no such thing as racial tension. It's demeaning, it's an insult to your intelligence and mine, and frankly, it makes me want to scream.
how. shallow. can you get.
I am tired of writing essays which go like this: if we do this, that and everything else, then we can achieve Vision 2020 and be
cemerlang, gemilang dan terbilang (because there are no problems that cannot be fixed by a campaign and stringent enforcement of rules and most of all, moral and religious studies!)
I can't stand writing essays I have no moral investment in; I can't stand writing essays I don't believe in. There are only so many times I can write happy idealistic paragraphs on the state of my country when every single day I worry about everything that is wrong today and wonder why our leaders can't seem to think before they talk.
There is only so much I can write before I stare at the paper in frustration because the words ring false, because the words are so silly and weak in the face of the world today where we have real problems of racial segregation, safety issues and political upheaval. Injustice and oppression.
I don't know how to get rid of all this moral uprightness and personal perspective
how to write A1 BM opinion essays again
can't remember how to write without thinking
help.
