WAIT = What Am I Talking?

Many of us wear the blue-jean nowadays, but are not aware of its significance in the 50s, that was a symbol of opposition of social conformity.

Very often when an individual is put under pressure, whether it is because of change or facing difficulties, we become impatient and lose sight of what is important in front of us.  For some of us, we prefer to cover our ears and shut our eyes and hope the person in need of our help would just accept what is being offered and walk away.  Perhaps some of us would even say “shut up and I don’t want to hear about your problem anymore” if it’s not scared of losing our jobs.  Solidarity is certainly out of consideration, and my ego (or egoism) is more important than your need or sufferings. 

In the 50s, it’s also the year Hannah Arendt has her book “The Origins of Totalitarianism” published.  What is alarming in the book for our times is that Hannah Arendt has pointed out regardless of how much we have learnt from history, it doesn’t allow us to predict the future.

Let’s think what we are doing.  The frog is being boiled.  Let’s have the wisdom to jump out before it’s too late.  Let’s hope the goodness inside us would take charge of our evil.
