I've always regarded myself as a hadharah, since more often than not, I always find most badhawah mindset too absurd, too conservative for my tastes.

While it is probably true that religion can never stand in a hadharah society, in today's reality, human development as a whole might have it difficult in a badhawah society.

If we're too stringent in our lives, we will never learn to adapt. We won't have any qualms about following the norms blindly, rather than experiment. Empirically, we learn through trial and error.

Perhaps, it's a matter of trust.

Logically speaking, hadharah society lacks trust in comparison to badhawah.

In that case, I'd say the problem right now is that we're hadharah only in terms of material and emotions, but as far as reason is concerned, it's still in badhawah state.
First world facilities with third world thinking, huh? In the end, it's the third world thinking that will put the brake in the first world facilities, which will subsequently result in halting our progression. We then regress, going from third world to fourth world. De-civilisation, and from there...back to the Stone Ages.

(Maybe, symbolically speaking, we're already in the Stone Ages, seeing that our ego, our adamance, our obsessiveness with doing things our way even though it's not a hundred-percent foolproof, et al. are already harder than stone...)

True, although things thus far have been smooth, there's no guarantee that it'll be so forever.

Likewise, it's true that any drastic change that one tries to apply to the situation will only aggravate the entire story.

Who knows? One's act of correcting might, in fact, cause the exact opposite that nobody wanted.

So, being human, we act. Although, depending on our logic or our feelings, it still boils down to what kind of personality do we have in the first place.

It is said that behaviours may change, but personality is firmly rooted. Since I've only had barely over a month of psychology lectures, that is all I can say in fear I err too badly.

Don't expect people to change too easily over a short period of time. In essence, it's still the same person you deal with, and you're still you.

Just when you thought that you're broken free of the chains, they tighten around your limbs, your neck. You're suffocating, but you can't cry out for help. No one's around to help you anyway, even if they want to. Bruises all over. Then your vision of the world around you dims, and before you knew it, it's pitch black. Just before that, you're no longer sure if you'll wake up later, or if you're still breathing at all.

It's scary, isn't it? Reality bites.

I usually don't really bother with personality tests, but when said test is set by psychologists, then you know it's time to sit up straight and listen up.

And as an INFP (which only represents 1%), at first it was hard to digest. I mean, despite the fact that I follow my feelings and intuition more often than I would care to admit it, to think that I rarely think (relative to employing my gut feelings) is enough to send me into doubts. Whether I can pull everything off without royally screwing things way too much.

But they say that relying on feelings isn't scientific enough. Understandable, since the scientific community insists on hard core facts rather than "I have a feeling that...".

Of course, the bit about INFPs possibly having an "unhappy childhood" made me ponder and recall the past.

I wouldn't say that it was unhappy, but say what you will, I'm more inclined to remember the shadows rather than the delights. Perhaps I have been to critical of myself from the start, so I am who I am today because of my past.

Of course, it is said that personalities can change. I suppose we'll have to see it for ourselves to really understand the reality of ourselves.

It is said that business is a noble profession. Now? Not all of them.
Focusing on clean businesses (likewise, I'll not be referring to liquors and other irreligious commodities), we as the consumers respect the fact that those who participate in this form of dealings need to make money (aye, aye, that axiom of money makes the world go 'round comes to mind) but we, as consumers, have equal rights on our own money, and how we choose to spend it (of course, as long as we follow His Commands in spending...). But!
Charging me an unreasonable price is unforgivable. And don't give me that rubbish about chickens being damn expensive - especially when I'm referring to my freaking meagre amount of rice.
I hate interacting with close-minded people.

P/s: Thank God for His unparalleled Generosity. I passed the exam - even though I had screwed it...So there is Hope, perhaps.
But this is no excuse for me to lax around, of course. It'll get tougher as my life goes on so...Saa! New strategies, new artilleries, new soldiers for new battles!
