You know, I'm the kind of person who likes to analyze other people...their actions...what they're thinking and why they do what they do. Then something happens that causes me to analyze my own. And I realize that we all come with dysfunction...our own trials and tribulations. Things that happened to us when we were kids...or things that happened to us when we let ourselves love another person and give ourselves to them. And we delt with those things in the most constructive way we knew how...ALL OF US. And now, the things we do might not make a lot of sense to outsiders looking in...who can't see the whole picture...where we've been and what we've endured. But when the past and the wounds that may not be healed are taken into account...things really do make sense. Everyone deals with things the best way they know how. Everyone has shit they've stepped in...that might still be stuck on their sole (soul). The thing that gets me is when we...and we've all done it...judge others for what they've chosen to do in their lives. I TRULY believe that people have the right to do whatever they want as long as it doesn't hurt others.
I know this is rambling and might not make a lot of sense...
But I'll go on anyway.
I think what happens is that their shit gets mixed in with our shit...and we take their shit personally...when really it is a reflection of their shit...even if the way they deal with it is by putting down others or judging others for being different than themselves...that different becomes constued into "less"...either in our minds or theirs...
and all i have to say is...
We ALL have shit. You are not better than me and as long as i remember that...i can take the good in you and leave the bad.
