Things We Don't Get
As classmates, there’s never a day that goes by without an “I don’t get it” moment between us. When zooming out to the realities of life, its ever-changing complexities makes it tough to understand every aspect of it completely. The uncertainties from the mere act of living brings about many challenges from simply not grasping the idea to not having the same grasp towards an idea. Because of that we decide to talk about stuff we don’t get as well as highlighting the stuff that others don’t get to make sense of the world and to find a common ground.

This week, we welcome our guest Nikko, who suggested today’s topic: Neutrality! Everyone can be neutral or biased in various aspects of our lives. Neutrality can be vital as it helps us develop good judgment, and some jobs also do require a state of neutrality. However, our neutrality can put others at a disadvantage, especially in issues that have a high stake. In those times, neutrality could evince ignorance and a lack of participation. Regardless, neutrality is something we should all consider when facing various aspects of our lives.
