GM - Genetic... Mutation?
September 07, 2007
Sometimes, I wonder what was the true story behind the production of offsprings. To put it simply, I'm curious to know and understand the real purpose of mankind's need to sustain a continual 'production line' of their own kind, so to speak. "For a better tomorrow"? Yeah, right. Take a good, hard look at out planet, Earth. Mankind destroys the planet more than any other known, existing life-forms in my opinion. They say mankind is somewhat special because we possess the ablity to think "rationally". Obviously, our rationality falls under I Win-You Lose department. We only take into considerations of the consequences the day after the execution of our actions. What happens next is 'beyond our control' for it is the 'call of nature' and because 'God says so'.
Have you ever wondered why our parents gave life to us, when they, themselves regard us as troubles in their lives and then start telling us tales of their hardship in raising us and yada-yada-yada? One of my teachers once said that children are gifts from God like, "Live life, Give life". Right... do thank God when they're asleep. (Mum just came out and proved my point :P Wonderful timing indeed. )
Deformities. If parents agree that children are in fact gifts from God, why are they so ignorant, as in to pass down diseases and deformities to their chilren? This chain of GM ( No, not genetic modification ) goes a long way down the lineage or inheritance before it eventually gets "dissipated". Do they enjoy seeing their children suffer the same life as they did in the past and not do anything about it? Yes, I know there's something which they call "Designer Babies". But, how many people in this world who can actually afford such a service or treatment? Inevitably, if misconducted/abused, it will divide the existing society into 2 classes, the upper genetic class and subsequently the lower genetic class; a caste.
There was once, at the beginning of my secondary year, a classmate of mine told me that people with bangs/fringes cannot succeed in studies. Wow... I didn't know they were connected, let alone associated in anyway to the brain which is contained in the skull. Well, I had fringes since the dawn of time. Fine, maybe not that serious but I had them since I was little. I didn't and still don't find them bothering my studies and academic performance. If my results were bad, do blame the head, not the fringes, please. Frankly, apart from fashion sense, I keep fringes for a whole different reason. For a start, I have ptosis, or muscle weakness of the eyelid, right to be precise. And because of that, I'm afraid to look at people. So, yah... I need fringes to cover up and also to diverge attention away from the "deformed" area.
Blarh... I'll post more tomorrow. It's almost half-past 2.
