Hey everyone!
Firstly, its been a long time since I blogged, but now I have that urge, and I should strike while the iron is hot, or else I'll keep it within me and become a part of me. And well, lose inspiration.
If you are here for the AddMaths Project Work 2/2011 ......

Awesome response! More than 10k downloads! Plus my hits have sky-rocketed!
Owh, and after roughly 7.5k downloads I used adf.ly links, earned like 1.60 USD so far? hahaha, meager.
Remember, refer, copy also at least type it out yourself, you ain't going to just copy paste.
And to the few flamers on my Cbox, I did this myself, painstakingly typed it, changed it, corrected it, and redid it again. If you think that I copied brother/mother/dog, think again. You think whole world only your mother/brother invent that particular method? Use brains larh. Those that want to fuck me, drop me your photo, and I'll consider. If not, you can always fuck yourself.
Now, on a related case. Watch this bersih vid. on YouTube.

Made me almost cry! So touching.
Now to the crux of the post.
It's on principles!!!!
Putting it bluntly, I believe in Freedom and Right to Information.
I also believe in sharing them.
Which is why I shared the closed source project.
But that's not the point. Point is, I really think that everyone has the right to know something.
But of course I'd understand if say there was some pandemic in the country and the officials wanted to keep it under wraps as it could potentially cause unneeded chaos.
Or if you did something so so so so bad that you wouldn't want anyone else to know. (tough way to live)
But if the thing is not of such gargantuan proportions. I think you should share.
Let's not pinpoint anything, but since the beginning, this issue, rather, this principle that I have, has made me despise a particular organization and rather, was also the basis of why I turned them down.
"We must not tell others."
"Less they know, the better."
Worst of all:
"If I tell you to do/ don't do something, just do it."
"Why?"
"Don't ask"
To me that is pretty much slavery to the lowest. Dogs? To ask someone to do something, and that someone wants to know why, and telling them, don't ask.
So this means I should blindly follow?
If the person has the curiosity to know, I think he has the right to know, for he is the one doing it. Unless it is to that individuals best interest, then fine, but by all means, answer the god damn question.
Pardon the profanities.
But really. How can a system with secrets that are of public attention, are being kept only to a few, and from the whole we're one big family cover-up (where there is 2, one who commands, the other who follows) ever able to function nicely?
It's like the government keeping scandalous issues, sweeping them under the rug, from us rakyat.
That was why I realised "Bersih 2.0" is not bad, and that I support it (thought it was political unrest at first, only to realise it is for the freedom of people)
I do also have another principle.
Personally, I am the kind that believes in trust amongst the highest of friends.
Say a secret.
If someone very very close to me is affected by that piece of secret or rather, is interested in it, I would after due consideration, only share with that person.
Of course, everyone has secrets. But still, here's an example.
A teacher did something, and that something I know of, the teacher told me to keep it a secret.
Say my friend V (anonymous alias really) who is very close bff of mine, asked me, I would share it.
Knowing that he will not spread it and cause havoc to my life.
In fact, without him asking, I may just share it with him.
Simply because I trust V, or rather, he Amanah.
It just me I think, that believes in such a trust-based sharing of information.
Now, if the next guy came and asked me, obviously I wouldn't say anything. I may even lie in fact.
My belief is that I should treat those that matter, those that care about me, those that give a bother with me, way more than the "secret" promised to keep.
They have a difference than the random guy that suddenly simply wants information out of me.
Of course, you can look at it you way and think that I am not a person of integrity.
Fine.
But to me, sharing is caring, and that having a difference in terms of trust, on a leveled basis, is not wrong. To me, the friendship and trust that I have with my close friend, is way more than some secret that the other said: Don't tell arh.
I guess its just how I sorted things out, given all that I been thru.
I do however understand if you do not see eye-to-eye with me. I do understand that what you given, is rarely what you get.
Haiz. Perhaps,
Such a thing is not practical, and that I'm not a person that favours certain people, and treat certain people differently.
I guess this show that you have integrity if you keep a friends secret, even from a closed one?
I guess that you would be amanah.
I guess that you would be trustworthy, to never let secrets from many others intersect.
Perhaps the secrecy of things are more important than what has been forged between 2 people.
Maybe there's no point.
And that its even more useless after someone pressures the answer out of you, and that one still has the liberty to use the words SOMEONE, or SOMETHING when telling the "full" story.
Maybe I should start practicing the whole I-must-not-tell-you-whoever-you-are-even-if-your-damn-close-because-I-was-bestowed-by-someone-not-to-tell-you-something-besides-will-not-cause-you-to-die principle, combined with the law of equivalence.
Don't get me wrong, Keep secrets. It's your right.
But here, it's my right to say something too.
