the madness
i wonder if we should put ourselves in extreme situations that would allow us to find out who we truly are deep inside and what we're capable of doing.
something funny as an example: my friend went to OCS during his NS days, and as part of his training he had to go through a jungle confidence course in brunei. one segment involved having to kill and cook a live chicken (or some bird?).
before this, he thought it was so disgusting and there was no way he would do it, but when the day came, he was so hungry that all he could think of was FOOD! he grabbed the bird and immediately ripped its head off with his bare hands.
another friend told me he was so hungry that he actually tried to eat an earthworm that he caught to use for fishing. he said it tasted so gross that he spat it out.
what about a person who is in such a desperate situation that he turns to crime? we may condemn him and claim that we would never do such a thing, but would we really act differently? and if he is merely doing something that everyone else would do, is he still a criminal?
how about something good, like being in love? what if you could see all the literally crazy things that you might do while being blinded by love? would you still dare to love someone?
most of these situations we would not get to experience in our lifetime, but aren't you curious to find out?
