I'm guessing this will sound kinf of corny, but I think that everyone already know's what they have to do in life. I think that for some strange reason, everyone is already prepared to handle everything that comes their way. All the answers that we seek are already inside of us all. No matter what's the problem, situation, or question, we already know the answer. Sure, maybe it's not the direct answer all the time, but then we are equiped with the knowledge to know who to ask to find out.
Well, then you can argue that then you don't know all the answers, but I see it like this. If you were thirsty, you would drink some water. But if there isn't any water around, you go look for places that provide water. Now replace water with knowledge, and it's pretty much true. Even though it's kind of a loose analogy, but it still fits. When you go ask a person a question, at times our minds can connect the dots before they are finished. Which goes to show that we already know how it worked, but just need some reminding.
this brings me to another point I want to adress. Have you ever had a problem in which you "don't know" what to do? School work, social life, sexual orientation for those who question it. I personally think that each person know's deep down the answer, but just need some outside influence to help them build up confidence. Like if girls go shopping for clothes and one girl see's a shirt she just love's. But she doesn't buy it because the other girls don't seem to think it's all that great. hm...bad example. this is more of a social acceptance more of thing, and in social acceptance, people have to make sacrifices. Say some guys were browsing video games. You can play these games in groups or by yourself so this is good. You see one game you think is awsome, so you throw it up to the guys, but they think it's childish and pointless, so you joke about it and don't buy it. But it's your loss for not buying it. YOu knew it's a good game, but because other's shot down your confidence, you don't buy it.
Of course, there are those with so much self confidence, they don't care what others think about them. These people can be very cool, or very bad. The one's that are open minded are cool, close minded people in general suck. But unless they are close minded about the right things, then they are more bearable. Usually that comes from lots of experience in life. But back to self-confidence, the more you have, the more people will notice it. People look up to leaders because they seem to know all the answers. But really, they are putting up their opinion. A leader can make a bad call at times.
Now i have no idea what the heck all this about. Hm...just bored and writing down stuff. YOu know, it's kind of sad I have nothing to talk to about with other people. I want to talk to people...but about what? My life is so boring...Then if I do have something interesting to talk about, it's about....my long walks outside thinking about my life. Which normally results in me bashing myself. It's funny how we can always see the good in others, but never see the good in outselves. Funny isn't it? We can always think, "How is it that you think i'm a good person, when I have done so many things to be ashamed of?"
and i've lost my train of thought. Though incoherent to begin with, but owell.
