This might be a silly statement but I learn a lot in school. Of course. I am suppose to learn a lot in school. I lean about the human body. I learn about conflicts in the world. I learn about natural disasters and…. lots of math. However, one thing I have realised is that the world is a very interesting place. Conflicts.Civil wars. Arguments over Genetically Modified (GM) foods. Save the environment. Cure Aids. Build the wall. Tear down the wall. Do this. Do that. People are so opinionated. You might not like their opinions but then I don’t care about that. Like I have said you have your opinions and I have mine. They may contradict but, then again, who cares?
So anyway, my Social Studies teacher was just finishing up the chapter on the conflict in Northern Ireland and I was just making my Geography notes (which I have yet to complete), and I realised ” People enjoy so much drama”. “People need action. People need something-can be negative and most things in this world are negative- to talk about”. When people watch action-packed films, they love it so much they want to reenact it in real life.
You all need drama to happen to be opinionated. The conflict between the Catholics and Protestants in Northern Ireland. Good or bad? My opinion: BAD! They both worship the same god. What is the difference between the two of them? Bloody Sunday was one really sad day. That was the day which the Catholics had to fight for their lives! That day and the days that followed, they had to fight for survival. The turned to the Irish Republic Army, which I understand is a terrorist group. Good or bad? If you have no where to go and you were being bullied very badly and you had someone, bigger, strong, more violent than you to help you out? what would you do? Don’t lie. You will die if you don’t get their help! I could run to them fast. I don’t want to die!
The GM foods. People say not good. People say great. Well, if there wasn’t the risk of eating GM foods, people will then argue that there will be a lose of of biodiversity. Everyone finds something to complain or argue or have an opinion about. DRAMA! Drama is what makes life interesting.
It is a sad truth. You need war and conflicts and people disagreeing to make this world interesting, even if people die in the process. It is a sad truth and it feels really horrible pointing it out. It’s sad. I don’t know.
People just need something to talk about.
