3 kinds of people

Admit it, the internet is filled with people who is not very bright and like to say things only to make other people upset. But amidst the sea of those people, there are a few people who makes sense. That few people who does inspired me to write this post.

I do a lot of thinking. Sometimes too much that I strayed into things that are way too deep. Anyway after much thinking I've manage to categorize people into a 3 categories. Note that in no way I am saying this is what it should be rather it is my personal opinion.

Believers
We aren't living under anarchy. Our lives are determined by a more superior body usually known as the government. I am not trying to talk about politics here, I'm talking about people. Living in this day and age, we have a a lot of source of news and knowledge around such as the radio, television, internet, books, and so on.
Also note that not everyone in the world put out news because it's true. Some wicked minded people in the world use these kind of media to trick them. believers are the kind of people who believes these kinds of thing. The usual trait to these believers is that whatever makes sense to them, or sometimes even whatever that is so complicated (or sound complicated to them) and due to the attitude of "wow these things are so complicated it must be true" they end up as the believers. Believers also most of the time don't have a clue in what they believe in and on some instances even made up stories about the thing that they believe in due to the ignorance of themselves. Doesn't mean that everything that the believers believe is wrong but rather what they believe in is not given much thought into.

Rebels
These are the kinds of people that are the opposite of the believers and usually have a very aggressive and hasty kind of mind. They tend to just repel whatever news or knowledge that is just not to their liking. A part of the rebels are also the people who just like to see something successful to plunder. The rebels usually despise what is believed by many people just because they want to. Not to say that all rebels are wrong, but rebels usually spear without a true purpose. Just like the believers, what they have in common is they don't have a clear idea of their goals and does it for the fun of it. And because of the personal loathe towards what is believed, fictional news and knowledge are also made up to make themselves feel more secure and a sense of accuracy into what they're rebelling against.

Thinkers
Thinkers are people who don't just gobble in what they heard or instantly reject what is known. Their reaction is based on proper thinking and rational reasoning. Right of the bat, the news or knowledge that is fed to them is analyzed and proven its truth. Thinkers are the people the world is lacking today. A kind of person that thinks about everything, constantly, relying on reliable sources and later deriving their own net of understanding on a given subject. Problem is its not easy being a thinker. You cannot force yourself to be a thinker, you have to train yourself to think and make it a habit to constantly look for the logic and maybe even make rough predictions of what to expect. Thinkers lead a more organic life. They live on what they personally believe and what they personally rebel. They don't follow people, they lead. They are made up of leader material. But sadly they aren't many of them today. They are the optimum person. If we have a goal of change that we need to have, it'll be to be a thinker.

kite sepatutnye jd thinker la. sbb believers dgn rebel dia buat je tp dia takde asas dan pemikiran yg btol.

lemme guess..you think you're one of the thinkers? :D

anyways, i think it's a good attempt to classify many different people into just three categories.

i think, while some may have distinctive qualities to show that they're thinkers for example, some others are caught in between. maybe they're thinkers, trying to rationalize whatever's given to them, and they may choose to believe or even rebel. in reality, it's not as clear-cut. but i think you already know that. :)

never said i'm a thinker but i am trying to be one. like i said these are mere opinions to roughly break down them but you, as a thinker, would not right down agree or shun on what you've just read which is good. nothing is clear cut yes i know. roughly.

interesting way of classifying people, i may say :) but let's not hope this will soon go to be a stereotyping party. i am confident that we both believe that every human being is unique in his or her own ways.

i have read some of your entries and i do enjoy reading them (so you may expect some comments even in your old entries soon). :) good day!

no no i am by no mean trying to stereotype the public. i am just saying that this is a way to generally break them up and yes i do believe everyone has many combination of different traits that make them unique in their own way.

thank for visiting my blog! always nice to have people like you dropping your words :)
