READ THIS!!! I KNOW ITS LONG, BUT THIS HAS TO DO WITH MY MOM AND I NEED A SOLUTION FAST!!! I MIGHT EVEN USE UR COMMENTS TO HELP MY ARGUMENTS FOR BASICALLY EVERTHING IN MY LIFE RIGHT NOW!!!
Damn, lifes crazy. My mom and I and even my brother have different points of view. Screw it, my whole freaking family has different points of view. My mom is irrational, thinking on thoughts, only looking at the bad things that could happen if something were to occur to u. for instance, im sure her motto is “better safe than sorry”. She watches the news to face reality, and face it she does. If a new disease in food is found, shell go right after and make us ignore the “sick” food. She thus, acting like this, takes every worse case scenario and tries her best to prevent it. SHE LITERALLY TAKES ALL THE FREAKING WORSE CASE SCENARIOS AND BASES EVERYBODY OF THEIR WORST FEATURES/PROBLEMS. Thus, she ignores reason and goes only to seek protection for us even though it may not happen, since im smart enough to know what is good for me. Thus I move on to my point of view. I believe that things are good and bad, and I must help the weak and injured at times where it is best. I face reality and am sometimes even very easily discouraged. But when I feel/believe in something strongly, I go for it without stop, as motivation does to ppl. GOD DAMN… even as I write now on the comp. My mom is talking to my dad, saying and talking about all the worst things that can happen. Back to me… I take the situation as seen from more than one angle… which is how I believe situations are to be seen. ONLY with all sides of the story may one fairly do what is right. This is how I act to the best of my extent and this is what ive been doing, arguing and destroying slowly the bond that holds me and my mother together… it’s a saddening truth, but it is one I feel must be told. btw, in order to analyze this more, ud have to talk to me to figure out the whole situation, thus making a valuable and worthwhile judgment. OK. Now back to the viewpoints/psychological reasoning… My bro believes what I believe in, except he takes the non acting, gradual approach, as one could say, how Booker T. Washington handled black civil rights. Where as I am WEB Dubois, taking the radical, arguing stand, that I try to make my mother listen to my ideas to change them. And another thing, my bro, by my thinking, doesn’t believe in taking all sides fore making a judgment, I think he just uses his own. My mom takes power in saying that she is my mother, that if the gov. thought I could take care of myself, then I might as well; But that it obviously doesn’t since my parents are the ones signing papers. She doesn’t believe my father should have say in what happens to me since he always has to work, that hes never been to school or that he doesn’t understand the situation completely. My father acts as my key to getting some power and influence to my mother. Ive inferred thru how he handles situations that he also believes in my “listen to all sides” approach. He listens to my side and my moms sides, since my bro doesn’t argue much. SO, NOW, CONSIDERING ALL OF THIS…, who makes the wisest choices in this situation…
My mom thinks we(my bro and I) should not go to parties since ppl do drugs and such there. She believes that if we go once, well always want to go to every party, which is prob. true, but, I say she could put restrictions on how often we go, like once every 2 weeks. This sounds fairly reasonable. She believes that after we get into going to parties, that we may argue all the time when we want to go to a party. This is also another point that could be true. But if I were to sign a contract, to wholly and truly agree and consent to this with my signature, and she brings it to me every time I want to go out of my limit, then I will not go, no argument. So now, my moms position is weakened, I can restrict myself if I agreed to it myself. About drugs and such, I don’t hang out with such dumbasses in the first place, so it wouldn’t matter at all. And if I did, I don’t think id be stupid enough to do them. Another point made by my mom that is destroyed. Then she talks about how girls can cause soo much trouble to us. That they will just use us, and other things of the sort cuz we’re just complete fools for false love… I might be somewhat prone to that, but I fall in and out of love very easily, so if somebody gives me a logical reason, I will think bout it (u guys know im a thinker, just read all the crap I have below this) and fall out of “love” (if it was fake love). But, my mother is only looking at the bad side of the spectrum, which she always does. One cannot make a judgment based on one sides story. That’s why they have the plaintiff and the defendant. There are always the good ppl and the bad ppl in the world. I intend to create a friendship with a good person. So thus my moms argument is destroyed. Are u convinced? Tell me, if uve reasons for or against my argument, tell me. Please, I need responses to this now!!!
