is it late or early?
I started thinking here a minute ago, about how inevitably we, as people, tend to let ourselves down. We feel as those are efforts to achieve our goals and to be the people that we are, are trivial at best. But then, maybe we have it all wrong, maybe its not about the effort. Now I know that at a young age that we are told that as long as we put an effort into it, that the effort is what matters. What if we're wrong? What if we've had this all backwards and sideways and upside down?
This is the idea that struck me; what if the effort is what builds the disappointment and that the real value, is that things happen because of who we are. If you think about it, nice people are nice because thats how they are, mean people can be mean because that's how they are. We should learn to realize that things happen because it's a natural process. A natural process that at best isn't necessarily perfect, there will still be instances where we wish we had done differently, but then at the point again, if it was any different it wouldn't be a natural occurrence of our own personalities.
And this is where a few other ideas and personal feelings come into play. Things happen, we can't change them, we can only go forward and hope that we can learn from the things that had gone wrong. It's not the effort to change, it's the natural ability to adapt. It's this natural ability that pushes us to become who we are, to learn from the past, to still make mistakes in the future. There is no effort needed. This is the exact same reason why people can't change overnight, rome wasn't built in a day, and why wine gets better with age. Well maybe not the last too, but the fact of the matter is this, life is a trial and error process, some things people will never learn, will never overcome, who you are will inevitably affect who you are going to be with, and basically explains why it's never good to cry over spilled milk.
And to sum it up, simply enough, just let life happen.
