This is from a
course in soc science
I’ve heard
rumors about the lecturer being very impressive
So I sneak into a class too!
It had
really made an impact in me in the sense that
It makes
your brain think rather than absorb
Cool eh? XD
My question
of the day is: Why is nose picking/farting etc a ‘disgusting’ act?
I am sure,
there are times when you feel the itch or the ‘stuffing’ in your nose rather
annoying
And you
would just want to just slightly scratch it…
Maybe put
your little finger in it
Ahh, yes,
that’s the spot, that’s that yucky stuff
And you
notice there are a few of your friends snickering beside you
“What’s so
funny?”
“OMG, you
NOSE PICKER! Hahahaha”
What about
the time when you feel your tummy twisting and turning?
You feel
like your tummy is having its own wrestling federation inside
And the gas
is winning
Maybe if I
open my butts wider, it might make no sound…
Okay, let’s
try this…
“PHUUUUTTTSSS”
Oh god YES… The satisfaction…
Then people
around you started to stare…
OMG, did I
do that out loud?
Then you’ll
feel your cheeks getting hotter and yet you try to act natural
@@
*twisting head around looking confused and walk away as fast as possible*
Let me let
you in with a fact
When you’re
in the mid of doing those ‘disgusting’ act
Have you
ever think about: Hey, other people might do that as well! They have shit in
their nose & poison in their small intestine too! It’s perfectly normal for
me to do so.
NOPE, you
go straight to thinking that: ohGOD ohGOD ohGOD, what would people think about
me when they heard/see me… It’s so embarrassing; I would never have a life
again, EVA!
Okay, so
I’m going a bit too far about the life thing
But you get
my point right?
Even Shrek
says: Better out than in I always say. *smug look*
Sometimes
it’s the society’s and the culture’s doing.
You feel
embarrassed because you are taught to be.
There are
no rules saying that it’s wrong.
Biological
speaking, you are perfectly normal to have actions like that.
Just like
it’s perfectly normal that everyone can’t be number one in class, everyone do
fail & fall sometimes and you accidently killed you fish because you forget
to feed them. @@
(I hope
that won’t happen to me. BTW, I’m raring 2 in my hostel. XDXD)
Why the
invasion?
Sometimes
we are brought up from different backgrounds
We are
taught to NOT do this, to NOT do that, to do things we don’t like, things we
hate to eat are always the most nutritious ones
It’s not to
say I’m biased
But
sometimes it’s good to question formality
To do self
checks
Whether it
is useful, it is meaningful & it is beneficial
Rather than
just to ‘follow the norm’
Hmm…
Come to
think of it.
Nose
picking and farting are annoying at times
It’s normal
to see your shit but it’s disturbing to see other’s shit.
Owh, and
the strong smell…
Yuck…
Do it
privately kay?
