tabula rasa
Wednesday, February 28th, 2007Well , guess what ? The cute marketing girl stood me up. I messaged her , and she replied “Oh sorry, I’m out with a colleague. Another time perhaps .. “. And I was like , ouchies.
Then again, she said “Another time perhaps .. “. Which is my que to ask her out again next week ^_^
So during lunch, I went to MPH and picked up the book called “Introduction to the Enlightment”.
As you might know , “the Enlightment of the 18th century was a crucial change in human history, as people began to free themselves from the authority of the Church and find their own vocation”. Oh , I ripped that line from the back of the book.
What compelled me to buy the book was the meaning of tabula rasa as written b John Locke. The dogma believes that all knowledge is derived from experience .
That’s what I always believed in. That’s why I never really liked learning by reading or just listening to advice. I’d rather make my own mistakes. Life my own life ! Do it my way !
Oh wait, that was a song already.
It also explains why I’m more of a practical person , rather than a theory based one ? I mean , rules are meant to be broken right ? I cannot stand people who would be so afraid to do something , because they’re not doing it right. Come on , be adventurous ya. Do something crazy, like ask a stranger out !
I also find it curious, that one episode of Lost was called Tabula Rasa. I wonder if it was the same one where the character Locke ( even the name is familiar … ) has his flashbacks. Let’s not psychoanalyze Lost here. It’s a pandora’s box eh.
I’ll blog more about Enlightment soon ya.
