Where was I going with this?
I'd been writing a rambly entry and suddenly realized once again that I'm a big frelling hypocrite. There was a nice moment of clarity, like, an actual feeling of clarity. Hard to explain, yet still quite distinct.
I really like that quote, "Before you judge someone, make sure that you're perfect". The message is obvious, but why I love it is because I need to remember it. Who doesn't? But really, that whole "we're all hypocrites" excuse does get old after awhile. What gives me the right to judge others on their decisions or how they live when I know full well that it irks me when people do it to me? Why should I make people feel rotten just because I'm opinionated? That's a seriously bitchy way to be.
The best lessons we can be taught are the ones that we recognize without being told. Really is true, eh? It doesn't mean anything when someone is coming at you about something you disagree with. Hell, I don't even think I've been told in years that my opinions can be hurtful. Either people don't find me opinionated (relatively speaking), they don't care enough to tell me off, or they don't feel it's right to do so. But I see it in myself. I guess I would though. Nobody knows me better than I know myself.
Oh hai, I am definitely an introvert, lol.
I'm bored with my thoughts now, so I'm just going to listen to music and go to bed. |D
P.S. - This is adorable.
