Naysayers and Judges of the World

“Your educational and or background affected the way you think, react, behave and talk” (RM)

People with teacher training background will make everything in order and plan things step by step. They write the syllabus. They write the lesson plans. They teach people about things. They lecture people. Sometimes, they talk a lot and more often, too much. “People with psychology background will think that they know everything about other people. They think that their analysis towards someone will always be correct and right to the point just looking at the way others react, dress, and talk. There's an old saying "Psychology for you". There has never been psychology for myself. It's always about someone else, others and them. It's never about me, myself and I. “(quoted from some friends)

“People with anthropology background think that we should see people from its culture, background and take them for granted.” (Quoted from a friend) They think that people always have reasons in doing things. They are more analytical. They are a bit more permissive for everything including what they want and desire at any time. In my understanding, I could say that people with this background tend to have no-rules-life since there are always reasons. What about people with community development background?

These people will always involve others in deciding things. Take others to a discussion to find out what’s best. There are always meetings even to find out how to start, how the process is, how the monitoring and evaluation system is and also how to make sure there are lessons learned and how to improve them. There are discussions before they start, discussions as the process moves, discussions when the activities are over and discussions to plan for the lessons learned. They facilitate people to go forward, they are more like motivator, and they also sometimes direct people to some directions based on what the project mandate is. They are sometimes found to be provocateur or “dalang” behind what’s going on.

This one might be a sensitive issue, but what about people with religious background?

Hmmm ….

These people are very loyal to what they believe. They hold tight what they believe. They are certain, strict, tough and they seem to know where to go after death. They are, for me, full of borders, restrictions and rules. There is always to love when there is hate. There is always goodness when there is evil. There is always honesty when there are lies.

So, is your educational and or background is your religion? Or your religion is your educational and or background?

Hey, I am just a naysayer and a judgemental person.

Like you all are.
