Not So General

Throughout the year, the general paper has been teaching nothing else but politics and how the government functions in the current days, never once knew politics are categorized under general knowledge. What’s general and what’s not? Sweeping statements and facts based on specific topics. Perhaps there are times where we cannot concentrate on one particular task, in fact, it happens all the time. When we are involved in certain conversations, the main objective of that particular topic tends to change from time to time, from food to girls, gossips to politics, studies to sports. Even when we are reading, or you may put it as studying, our mind prone to wander off, with or without knowing. Well, it too can be said that, the topic links from one to another, not in the sense that they actually related to each other, but the moment when the idea strikes our head. It is counted as relevant, in a way, isn’t it? There are up and down in life, different wavelength of brainwaves, so why not the general to not so general? Specific to not so specific? Besides, there is no certain definition of anything or everything we are currently having our hands on, since it varies from one to another, not to mention the new ideas keep coming in from time to time.
