I am burning with rage and indignation. Some stupid scumbag got me so fired up this morning, and I just felt like shouting profanity to him. But, since today was Saturday, I didn't want this to spoil my mood and so I just kept mum throughout the whole so-called lecture. Honestly, he wasted 10 minutes of my life and I rather write an essay/do some Additional Mathematics questions with that amount of time. It wasn't beneficial to me and yeah, his so-called lectures have fallen on deaf ears. Whatever. Anyway, I still have a few questions ringing in my head and I need some explanation about that. There were a few ambiguous statements in your so-called-constructive-criticism and some of the things you said contradicts with your actions.
1. You said that we are the creme de la creme of this school, and we are not showing a good example to the others.
- Well, you're a part of this class, and so why aren't you showing a good example to us since you're a prefect? I thought prefects are trailblazers for all the students of this school to follow? It is very obvious that you are not a good time-juggler. You seem to prioritize your duties more than your studies, which is, indeed, wrong. Not enough time? Too busy? They're all excuses. You don't even take heed of your studies and you even have the courage to tell us that we're not showing a good example to the others. Please, look at the mirror first before your criticize someone and don't come up with such statements which negates your actions. Don’t criticize anything unless you have credibility and a good track record, which in my opinion, you don't even have.
2. You were standing on the 3rd floor of the building and we were standing on the assembly ground. According to your observation, you also mentioned that we were not singing the national loud enough.
- My oh my, how is it possible to hear us singing from the third floor? Are you a bat who has the capability to hear 200 Hertz of vibrations? If we were alone in the assembly ground, then you could probably hear us sing. But there were approximately 2000+ students in the assembly ground. Their voice would have drowned our voices already. How could you possibly hear that? You're merely assuming. And whatever you assume may not be right all the time.
3. When one of us spoke up, you commanded us not to argue with you.
- Okay, would you just shut up if someone accuses you of murdering someone? If you were to shut up, then you're a total retard. With no common sense at all. I don't see anything wrong with being defensive of ourselves. If someone makes false accusations about you, it is normal for you to speak up for yourself. And also this, when someone is trying to give their two cents about something, you can't ask them to just shut up. It is like giving a slap to them and asking them not to say anything. You have to be mature enough to listen to their opinions. Well, you might say, this is a school matter and not a class matter, and therefore, we should not talk about it. Class matters are also school matters, anyway. We're in school, and whatever problems regarding classes/toilets/whatsoever are considered school problems as well. In a nutshell, I guess you're just trying to stop us from humiliating you. Perhaps, eh?
Frankly speaking, I hate getting myself involved in verbal disputes, but sometimes, it just irks me a lot and there is no way I can just keep quiet and do nothing about it. But sometimes, being too straightforward will cause negative repercussions. And a backlash would happen occasionally.
Yes, I know, criticism hurts like a bee sting. So any decent person tries to avoid criticizing others. But sometimes you can’t avoid it forever, so finally, when you get mad enough, you speak. The problem is, when you criticize while you’re mad, you aren’t likely to do it well. And when you say something while you’re angry, we get defensive because anger is an attacking emotion.
So, when you guys see me zipping my lip, it doesn't really mean that I am giving in.
