Let me open a topic here. I know it’s already late but let me just discuss it here. I’ll start with a question. In the organization I recently joined in, which is Gabay, I was wondering why not all scholars are into this organization. People told me that this is an organization FOR scholars, not OF scholars; even if the whole organization consists mostly of scholars. 
It got me, this question because before, I intended not to join this organization. Then I joined the next year and found out that I cannot be active enough to pass the organization’s retention requirements. I remained outside and then joined once again in my senior year. Of course, joining this organization and doing the same thing all over again would be pointless so I decided to be active on the activities of the organization as long as time and circumstances permit.
However, in those times that I was a member, not a member and until now, that question of why not all scholars are in, still bothers me. Let me, then, dig into this question. I saw two general reasons that can come out of a scholar not joining this org. One, they just don’t want to be part of this organization and second, they prioritized other organizations. Reason one is quite broad or vague. For freshmen, not joining this might be a result of not hearing about it. However, for some upperclassmen scholars, it’s could be a different story. It’s basically the clarification between the statements “Org OF scholars” and “Org FOR scholars”. The second reason might be a bit confident for the students who belong in it. Probably they don’t need the service of other people to guide them around or they think the other organizations would be enough help.
Until now, I still cannot figure out why there are scholars who don’t join this org. I’m stuck at the general reasons I came up with. Well, I guess people who join this organization are quite ready to dedicate some time of their own lives to help. That’s actually good. In my case, I still don’t know if I will be able to dedicate time to this org although I’m trying my best to put some effort. The reason for this uncertainty is the question above, the question that bothers me. There are also other stuff that bothers me regarding this organization but I guess I will not write it here. It may be against the organization’s people or platform.
It might be nice if I write it here but sometimes, there are people who jump into conclusions and might say that I’m an idiot joining an org and started criticizing the people and platform inside. If I am the one being criticized though, I should settle down and think why would, just one person, be criticizing my org? Of course, if you’re the sort of person who envelopes the org’s ideologies strongly, you wouldn’t mind one person’s criticisms. However, the fact that someone is criticizing you means that particular person sees a hole in the org. Clutching ideologies created within the org will cause insensitive actions. And those actions will lead to killing off that person who criticized the group, if the ideologies remain strongly intact. So, like me who *might* have some issues to discuss regarding this org, might be thrown away and be considered as an idiot, I think I’ll not write down those stuff here. I guess I’ll wait for the right person who’s ready to accept those issues, if ever I have one.
I’m not here to complain about the org. There are just some things that I found quite disturbing.
Does it sound like I am not liking the org? Hell no. why would I join there if I don’t like it in the first place. I’m enjoying in this org and I joined this org for one good reason: To find the answers I need.
