The person I want to be. ( Continued...)
Continuing from this post: http://heart-over-head.livejournal.com/15759.html
Not necessary who I am today, but the character I am striving to be:
I want to be a person who learns the true meaning of selfless giving and acts it.
I want to be someone who does not look down upon others for their actions, nor idolize them, but to accept them intrinsically. (I've been told by many random people online to abandon this ideal because it'll supposedly be unhealthy since it's apparently not truly possible for this to happen. But I really do want to pursue it because I feel it will give me serenity and that I will be more loving.)
I want to and not only express compassion everyday, but to truly feel it. So I want my feelings to parallel with my actions.
I want to be able to step into the most misunderstood's soul and understand him/her even when society doesn't. (I really admire Susan Sarandon's character in Dead Man Walking.)
...To be continued.
---------
I want to be more tolerant. I want to get annoyed with people as seldom as possible. When I do feel annoyed, I keep questioning myself and feel so unaccepting. I feel like I think I'm better than others when I do get annoyed with others and I don't want to think that way.
I want to think of myself less. I want to spend more time thinking of others rather than thinking of myself and be all fixated on myself. Kind of contradicts this post in a way.
I want to look for the good in people and not condemn them for their "flaws." I don't want to ever think of anyone as "bad."
I want to accept myself unconditionally (as well as others, as stated up there).
In the future, I want to drive around Seattle to converse with the homeless and buy them lunch.
