A Walk Back To The Starting Point?

Well, it has been a couple of days since orientation ended. The J1s definitly have their fair share of fun and laughter. It really reminds me of the time I spent at my own orientation...

My junior class was very high. Yah, they are an energetic bunch of people that seems to have a power plant attached to their backs. What left me most in awe is their cheers revolving around Spongebob Squarepants and Bob the Builder. Haha... They could actually make a cheer out of it! I am impressed. It was no link... haha

But anyway, this thought struck me. I love both cartoons! In fact, Spongebob is one cartoon I can't afford to miss during the December holidays. I especially like Patrick the dumb starfish and I believe many people do too. It is really weird that adults and grown ups would be so hooked up to these characters and find laughter in it. I sometime love to tune in to sesame street. It brings back my old memories.

In this world of complications and fast changing trends, are the things we are searching for plain and simple? Are the things we are searching for defy logic? Are we looking some things that are no longer logic based because we are tired of the chaos in our lives? Do you ever realise that as people tend to grow older, they somehow revert back to their old childish self? I do...

I thus come up with a conclusion. We all want to search for the truth. We are taught to search for the 'truth'. But at the end of the day, what we long for are things that are simple and plain. Things that can turn on our tickling bones, just like the dumb pink starfish in Spongebob Squarepants. Random jokes or behaviour that defies logic tickles us.

These things seems to bring us back to the days of our childhood, where everything seems so simple. Why are we treading through this circle of chaos, only to find that the purity of children and simplicity is what we long for?

To me, these laughters are like mocking laughters to myself. I laugh at Spongebob Squarepants and his starfish friend, only to realise that I am dumb enough to watch it. I actually laugh at the thought that I am enjoying such simplicity that defies logic.

What is logic... I don't know...
