Anti-thesis

The afternoon was taken up yet again for another meeting. I had anticipated another waste-of-time meeting, but managed to contribute some fairly interesting ideas. I gave suggestions, and they were received with incredulity, and even commented that I am in the wrong course...

I gave business suggestions for them to get sponsorships, like having Liang Seng to come down and set up a booth during the Sparex, that kind of ideas. Well, I still have no confidence in the chairperson, who seems to have lost her initial enthusiasm and spontaneity, now she seems unsure of what to do in my presence with that slight apprehension when approaching me.

Maybe because I can be a no-nonsense person when the situation demands it.

Still the meeting had achieved several objectives despite it starting late with members absent, it's a start in the right direction and it didn't waste too much of my time.

However, I was pleasantly surprised when my good friends in tkd turned up! Training won't be so boring and lonely after all.

Well, throughout the whole night Jx was exasperating me with his anti-thesis about everything, he was trying to convince me something that may actually seem logically correct, but in reality it's quite different.

Okay, based on what he was saying and the way he believed what he was saying, I can understand the way he thinks even further, his mind has already shut off to external influences and he believes that his decision and choice is the optimal and right one without considering the bigger picture and other more optimal alternatives.

Well it's not wrong, neither is it right, his argument is base on situation and opportunity and past videos that he has witnessed, I can't blame him for that, so I'll just let him think his way.

Well, what I am trying to say is that if you are the type who doesn't accept ideas other than your own, you are really shutting yourself off to external opportunities because of a restricted and constrictive viewpoint of everything.

This is really a no-brainer question.

Between a gun and a knife, which one would you choose?

There's no in-between the lines meaning, no psychological implications, no philosophical meanings behind this question, nothing about ammunition, or length of blade, or quality. Just a simple straight-forward question based on your instinct and the first answer that comes to your mind.

Between a gun and a knife, which one would you choose?

Duh?
