Anyway so today in one of my lectures,for like the 369th time in my life(ok thats an exaggerated number,lets bring it down to 48th time)i was once again informed of the fight or flight adrenaline theory...you know the one where if you find yourself in a stressful situation,your heart rate increases,your muscles gain super powers and you can do amazing things??yeah that one,and once again for the 48th ish time in my life,my lecturer used the one example always used... "if you come face to face with a lion,then your adrenaline levels go up blah blah..."i lost concentration soon thereafter because random questions took over..So that statement got me thinking of how highly illogical that example,which i am 100% sure anyone who's gone through our beloved 8.4.4 system has at one point,been told..true??Thinking about it,how many ppl in your life do you know ever came face to face with a hungry lion??like really??which kenyan person is this you know who takes walks in the forest and comes face to face with a lion and suddenly their fight or flight mechanisms took over??see??very illogical things we're taught in kenyan schools...if you ask me,they should change that example to somethin like "your adrenaline levels should go up if you come across a group of Kenya Police carrying AK47's..for all you know they might fire aimlessly and you may end up being that suspected gangster that has been terrorizing the neighbourhood" Such are the things that should make you bloody scared...
So now this lion thing got me thinkin again of all the lies we were told as kids..you know,all these things which you think about are simply nonsense..for example,i am also more than sure that at one or a few points in our primary lives,we were told that we could become the next presidents of Kenya...REALLY??thats just giving kids false hopes..look at it this way..when being told this president vibes,you were probably between 10-16,i there was a general election between that time,you were too young to be president,so that clearly wasn't your time..come a few years later and you can actually vie for presidency,but you'll probably be trying to make ends meet,feed the babies or trying to move out of home(at 35??) or something that life demands..by then the next general election shall come and a president shall be appointed.If its the continuing president,then you might have a chance in the next two terms or if its a new one,try your luck 15-20yrs down the line..and anyway only one person can be president at a time,so its really much of a gamble...now thats what you call giving kids false hope...smh...
Oh then i had another thought in my head,but am hungry so its disappeared..seems like this is the end of this random bubblings...i really should stop this now:-)
Cheers..
