Blind

All around me, I see people who grieve over being unable to purchase a shirt of their liking and people who regard examination grades as intelligence. I see people who studies hard without a university course in mind while lacking the skills to tie a simple knot. I see people who remembers everything in their notes but doesn't know a thing about the world around them. I see people who sacrificed the time in their co-curricular activities to study for a test. I see people who claimed their lack of understanding of the world around them to be a result of their 'purity' at heart and people who refuse to learn more if the topic is not tested in their examinations.  


I want to know a little of everything, to be able to do a little of everything, to define myself not as one who performs in only their studies but also their hobbies and to utilise my skills for the better of my society. What is one's satisfaction with the world, or even of self satisfaction, if their sweat, blood and tears do not benefit the world around them, what significance does their life hold to this universe?

I only seek to detach myself from these people and keep in contact with my friends of similar ideals. Am I blind to those people's views on success and on life? Even so, one would never know how the blind sees the world. If I am clueless about them, they are just as clueless about me. I'd just keep clear of them and live life my way.

Is my refusal to be associated with them ever going to be justified? I fear that I might be too full of myself.
