My father used to tell me that friends in this world are hard to come by, and that friends would betray you when troubles come about. That may be becoz he was betrayed before, but it's not totally untrue.

When there's a common goal between two person, they are great friends, helping each other to reach the goal.

Yet, when that goal disappears, it can be inevitable that the relationship changes, without a common goal, some people just don view that partner as a great friend anymore, and when some conflicts come about, it is the end of the friendship. How true is this? Are all humans selfish in nature?

In the television, witty guys are often portrayed as successful, while the dumb as pitiful.

In the television, bad guys are usually rich and successful, they can betray the world, harm everyone and gain that success. Only to fail in the end to retribution to have a nice ending.

In the television, good guys will be shown, forcefully to betray their friends to preserve their rice bowl, the source of money, dreamed as endless happiness, realistically the core of evil.

These sources teaches people to be "realistic". Which means, it is only right to think for yourself when troubles come, to save yourself when either has to perish.

When we are young, the world look so innocent, you just snatch for toys, quarrel for justice and work your principles.

But as we grow older, we value success much more and see wealth as having a nice life with lesser worries. So do all humans become more selfish as they grow older?

Does the good get repaid with good deeds, and the bad retributions? Or

Does the good get swallowed, and the bad, success?

Poly teaches me a few things like snoozing, and laze on the bed as it gives u the happiness of sleeping which can be so desirable at times. Yet, with characters all around, it tends to show me the two sides of life.

A group, a carefree group, never bothering about studies as much, feels that life are about being happy, and happy is about being carefree. Lazy at times, but always helping each other when exams comes about.

Another, a success group, have fun when fun are due, and serious when work are due. Happy together when times are up, finding each other a burden when things are down. Never showing the schemes, but says some behind the curtains.

Mixing with two groups questions something, which group would you like? which group do you belong? which group do you dread? which group do you like.

In Poly, i have not been the serious guy i used to be in secondary school. I can accept and tolerate more things now. But it isn't necessary good.

In Secondary, i'm a serious guy, quite no nonsense, lives on my principles, do wrong things? scold, need help? help, bad character? go to hell. Basically imposing my character and principles in my group of friends

In Poly, i'm a go along, there are some people i wouldnt even bother talking to if i were in my sec days, becoz i would have rated their personality, but i do now. I don really care what they are doing, and i don bother rating their doings. They think it's right, it's right, if it's wrong, it's wrong. I couldn't really be bothered much, i would only try to appease everyone to the best i can.

The difference? the friends i have in secondary perhaps knows me more in depth, while some poly friends i feel, wouldnt be as close after graduation. And i think that's why some people tells me they prefer secondary school days more... Secondary school pretty much gives students a common goal, the O'levels, not much conflict, you play as a class, you study as a class. Poly is more to groups or individuals...

My mentality broke down for awhile in Year 2, so much so that i needed to feel some support (which results in a fallout). Somehow, some friends in Poly just gives you this insecure feeling, that they would be ready to heck care if really, one day, a serious problem come about. And it shows during group work or exams.

I'm in both groups i said above, closer to the latter group, but when exams come, the latter would view the other group as a burden, and will be great to avoid them. So i'm quite sandwiched. Only in fine time can both groups be together, weird isn't it? Fine, happy together, fun together, Exams, enemies?

Thats why i'm confused, i'm closer to them, but i dislike some of the personality. Will i be the same? or am i already the same? i hope not, and pray not.

What my father said isn't without any truth, but when times are good, everything will be good, when times are bad, we'll see...

Today, it's funny, the term "realistic" actually becomes hostile. We were doing a report, a 100 pages report. I'm doing alone, my partner went to msia -.-" and my other two friends are a group, we did in one of their house. There were some glimpses of self content, like, hiding? I tot we were supposed to do together, anyway, i don mind people actually seeing and copying my work, i would happily help, but when such hints shows up when i just take alittle look, it kicks me a little. It's like, you HELP them before, and they wouldnt even SHARE things with you now. Thats why i wrote this article. I'm not angry, but alittle disappointed.

They started the don help u thingy as a joke, but that also means that it came across their mind, even at the slightest. I would say, not both, but at least one of them have this selfish personality.

What does it tells you when someone finish the work 1st, send to the teacher and friends through email without filtering both? Work shouldnt be copied, and so shouldnt be referenced, no one asked for it, but as the way he sent, it seemingly says, hey, i'm the original - to the teacher. Maybe it's me thinking too much into little stuffs, but it isn't hard to think of that in the teacher's shoes? isn't it? i would have considered that and if my friends wants to reference, i would send them in BCC.
