randomly feel lie blogging... wanna upload pics but my fujitsu lappie at home got no bluetooth...
aniwae... was at developemental psyche lecture on fridae... false belief... and egocentrism... milestones that children would reacj mentally... basically, in very lament terms, it just means being able to see thgs from one's perspectives... when we are young... this is really more literal in the sense tat when a child sees somethg for example, that is blocked out of sight from the experimenter's angle, he or she thinks that the experimenter will be able to see it too simply because he or she can see it...
hmm... i would think that when we are adults, perhaps this egocentrism, taking the form of more psychological issues marks an adult being matured... and is some sort of milestone... then again this is a milestone some pple might take forever to reach i feel...
remembered i was toking to a fren abt this issue some time before.. imagine this situation... 2 pple, A and B needa buy a a shared phone for some reason... A wants nokia and B wants sony erricsson... they both had a debate and went home subsequently... B thinks in this direction: perhaps Nokia is really better than sony? A must insist on Nokia because A is so used to using Nokia phones... perhaps Nokia is more durable or has better functions? perhaps afterall, Nokia might not be a bad choice afterall? A then thinks in this direction: Why must B want to buy Sony? Isnt it plain obvious that Nokia is better? If i get a Sony phone, i will haveta get used to using it all over again... isnt buying a Nokia phone ridiculous? If Nokia was bought, B will think: Hmm... gues Nokia has its strengths... If Sony was bought, A might just think: Fine, i dun agree at all but if it pleases u, we will buy sony then
thinking in other pple's shoes... seeing thgs from others' perspectives... somethg that takes forever to master, somethg that will hold relationships 2gether... somethg absolutely precious =)
