"Literacy is a bridge from misery to hope. It is a tool for daily life in modern society...Literacy is a platform for demostration, and a vehicle for the promotion of cultural and national identity...Literacy is, finally, the road to human progress and the means through which every man, woman and child can realize his or her full potential." ---Kofi Annan

Wicked Lovely post 5B

Ugh...

Okay, don't feel like talking about the theme anymore, but I really have nothing else to talk bout so...
LET'S TALK ABOUT THE THEME!!!YAY!!!


Be selfless or selfish?
Some think that the true selflessness shines when it was chosen in a life-and-death situation. And some argue that selflessness can be demonstrated at any situation.
Well, and there are some, like me, who would believe that in a life-and-death situation, choosing to save yourself first isn't really selfish.
I have always believed that human beings are animals. The only difference between human and animals is our ability to reason and our lust for improvement and being superior than others.
Just like any other animals, out first instinct when being placed in mortal danger is to save ourselves.
And, at those moments, the ones that can think for the others are, in my opinon, rare and admirable.
To be honest, in dangerous situations, I admit, I would save myself first.
And so, if it is natural and our first instinct, why would such actions be considered as 'selfish'?
Again, it's all just things that people made up to make human seem better and greater than everything else.
I really don't know what to say now...

...I really look forward to winter break!
