Theme: The Uncategorized

Have you ever “categorized” anything before? “It must be a certain type that has existed before”, “It must belong to either this group or the other one”, “Good - Bad”, “Black - White” as long as it is obvious. However, there are still remaining things that we cannot instantly and easily define or categorize them, and they are usually put into the “Others” option. When having clearly scrutinized and analyzed, we then realize those things themselves, with their intrinsic essence, will create a new path, new norms and constitute their original standards.

A society will be treading water if we do not pave the way for new ideas to form and develop. For that reason, each of us needs to equip ourselves with a broader mind, a flexible way of thinking and be adaptable to certain things that have not been or cannot be “categorized” precisely; in order to devise a premise as well as a belief in the development of a new category in the future. As a result, this mindset may ignite creativity and also eliminate the benchmarks and outdated stereotypes, which leads to outstanding social reforms.
