What makes you human, and what makes you BREAK?


So here's the deal : They want send us to some jungle to break into my head so that they can "build it up again". And if you think you're one of them who would never succumb to such shameless brainwashing, trust me, it's pretty easy to do.


1. Sleep

No self respecting student can graduate without having experience 3 days of no sleep, and walknig around deliriously caffeinated. You know what it does to you. If you never can imagine how a mom can shake her newborn baby to death, then you should try not sleeping for 7 days. If you've never watch the X-files series of the guys that go around killing people because they haven't slept for 38 years, go download it. Sleep is a funny thing. When you have enough, its no biggie, when you don't, it's all you think of.


2. Food

Why do you think models/ gorgeously thin people are such B.I.T.C.H.E.S? It's cus they are always hungry :) Don't agree with cannibalism? Don't eat for a month, n then go meat a friend.


3. Comfort

Like your aircond room? Your comfy bed? Your hot water shower? Your clean toilet? I do. Been to places that don't have those things? How long do you last? I lasted for 2 days in the remotest area of India before I became a complaining monster when I was nine. Salwa's SIFE project, some didn't last even for a day. But then again I survived hostel deplorable conditions for 5 loong years. Hmmm...


4. Personal space

Ever had to babysit 3 young boys who were total brats and worse still, had parents who condoned brat-ism?? Short of beating the crap out of them, there's nothing that would make them behave. And you can't do that cus, well, then your uncle would beat the crap out of you in return. After you finally get them locked in a room for bed, all you want to do is be ALONE. Any idiot dumb enough to ask you questions at that point would be a) suicidal or b) dumber than you originally thought.


5. Survival instincts

Watch the movie SAW, and you'll see the length humans would go in hurting others when it comes to their own survival. Or when it comes to protecting their loved ones. Some people tell me that they do not fear death, I think the ultimate test will be when you have a choice between your life, and some total stranger who happens to be a jerk.


Point is, the human nature is a fragile thing. Take away number 1 to 4, throw in number 5, and all you get is the worst side of human nature. I know the following week is not going to be as horrible as my exaggerated examples, but all the same, finding my worst side is not something I relish doing. Hopefully I find out that my worse is still much better than YOUR best. Muahahahahahahaha... (Stop rolling your eyes!)
