People
I dont understand people. I wish I could, but I never will. I mentioned earlier that I let go of most things, but a lot of people I know dwell on things. They dwell. On trivial shit. That's what I dont understand, when people dwell on trivial shit. And while I am trying to enjoy life as much as possible they are standing next to me, dragging me down. They dwell on insignificant bullshit and have no perspective whatsoever. If God has given me anything, its the gift of perspective.
Let me explain my perspective. When I am pessimistic I simply say "Hey, it could be worse." Example: Someone at Outback is upset that they got a bad tip (10%). It could be worse, they could have gotten nothing. And when I am optimistic I count my blessings. Example: When I fucked up my knee I laughed because at the minimum, I would get a good story out of it, and the most some days off work, chillin. If niether of those work, then I think long-term. Will this matter one hour, one day, one month, one year from now? 99% of the time, NO. So stop dwelling.
The bad tip is not the end of the world. The breakup is not the end of the world. There will be other tables and other girls. You are not in an orphange in Africa dieing of AIDS. You are not under some totalitarian regime. You are living the easy life. So smile about it. And if not, dont cry to me.
