I have been thinking lately; all of this is cluttered, subjects change without much transition - screw you English majors.
Why do we lie to ourselves? Often times we are so absorbed in our own feelings that we forget about anyone else. We forget that there are other people with feelings that are equally as important as our own. We look past the adversity one may face & make opinions based upon surface analysis never looking in-depth enough to see someone for who they really are. It is so easy to place blame upon someone else rather than accepting our own faults. Who in the hell are we? I don't remember becoming a supreme being, do you? I am guilty of these things myself, that is why it's so easy for me to talk about them. I know I'm not alone.
We all seek some sort of self-satisfaction that is unrealistic. We are all searching for something that we will probably never find. Along the way to this "ultimate gratification" we trample on anyone who gets in the way. Each day we think we're one day closer to the answer, but each day we're further away from the truth. We get so caught up in little details that it is hard for us to see life on a larger scale.
I have learned that bickering, arguing, trying to "bring someone down a notch" is absolutely & utterly pointless. I don't know why I ever did it in the first place. We like to believe that doing this will, in some way, make us feel better. I have never felt better after insulting someone even if I thought it was true. I am tired of surrounding myself with negativity.
