Just recently, the world was shocked by the suicide of an 18 year old American student whose roommate secretly recorded him having sex with another man on the Internet. It's been argued that if he was having sex with a woman it would not have been recorded. However, that's not what I'm here to talk about. I am here to decipher and perhaps better understand what gave this roommate the right to invade the privacy of another. It seems as though gay people do not have the right to show affection both openly and secretly.
Just recently i experienced the most baffling moment of my adult life. It was 28 past 8 at night and i was on the train home. A couple walk in and are holding hands, you know, all smiley and exuding lots of happiness and i thought "first love how glorious thou art". They sit behind me all lovey dovey and before i could say Jack Robinson they are kissing and touching and grabbing boobs. Its not anything i haven't seen before so i go "aw, how cute. Can't get enough of each other i see" but they had more surprises in store for me. The next thing i hear is quietness and this very annoying sound that just seemed like a bangle going up and down, up and down, so i decided to look back and see what was happening.
On looking back (I'm sorry but i have to describe this) i notice the man's zippers open and the lady BOUNCING off him! I wasn't the only one on this train, there was one other older gentleman but neither of us did nothing. If two guys were there just having a go at it the police will be called and it'll be on the news the next day. I understand this may have been a stupid mistake made by an eighteen year old but it has now become a very expensive one.
I'm obviously not writing about extreme cases or advocating as Freud suggested, that everyone should be allowed to run around and shag anything they see, kill anyone if they feel like it, run over red lights and break every law man ever made, but a fine balance in life will go a long distance. A fine balance in life will reduce the high suicide rate, a fine balance in life will reduce depression, a fine balance in life is the fine line between sanity and insanity. I know we live in a pretty terrible, bleak, depressing, mean world, sometimes it seems to me as though we are all aboard this uncontrollable train, no stops, nothing.
Or perhaps there are stops but the train is unwilling to stop, or better still, we have no idea where the next station really is. However, i am of the opinion that life will be sooo much better if we were all headed for destruction together instead of some people being bullied or punished by people who have made themselves custodians of righteousness and morality.
No idea in its totality is without flaws. Take a deep breath on what would happen if we kill those we hate without any form of outside force? Remember the laws of Newton, a body will continue in its state of motion until an opposite force act against it, so destruction would be the inevitable if Freud's idea is followed through.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, I would apply his theory in this way that, people should take up some form of adventure and learn through it. Like not forgetting to be young adults with those stains and indulgences.
Just a self-thought
