This is where it seriously shifts. Don’t you dare conclude that it was an epiphany. NO! There is never just one insanely large one, but more so many in a short amount of time. What is the catalyst? I’m not sure. No THAT is not it at all. Serious changes and of course, acceptance, open mindedness, and greater understanding.
What’s weird? I don’t get hurt by anything anyone, not realizing that it should be offensive to me, says. I am who I am. I love who I am. Good intentions are all that matters. You want to mark labels? Fine you prisoner of society. I’m an idealist, a philosopher, a liberal, an optimist, a dreamer… A person who holds on to hope no matter what. Why? Because. I can’t just tell you. No one can ever just tell you the answer to why they are the way they are. You are a liar and a hypocrite if you say differently. And if you aren’t either of those, you are just ignorant to the world. Don’t ask me what makes my thoughts better than everyone else’s if everything is just relative. I hate the word relative but it is constantly in the front of my mind. I am the way I am because of who I am. Does that make sense? Of course it does to me and that’s all that matters.
And so a conclusion: good intentions are all that matter. Sometimes they will clash, but deal with it. I’ve become so desensitized at the age of eighteen, but it’s a wonderful thing. My greatest problem in life was definitely that I believed whatever anyone said at first. Why? Because I didn’t think humans were that incredibly evil and selfish to just say whatever comes to their head or say whatever makes them feel good at the time. I thought everyone said the truth if it was stated as a fact. Everything is an opinion. Everything. So now I’ve gone and made myself think, how is my saying that everything is an opinion NOT an opinion? This world is a cycle that consists of so many levels of thought processes that there will never be peace, understanding, agreement, or acceptance.
So why not become desensitized? You focus on truth. But then again, truth is a personal gift that is never identical to anyone else’s. Although similar to others on rare occasions, mind you. These are the ones that we go to, because they have two things in common: a parallel past to your own, and a mind set for only the present.
Selfish we are. Does understanding this make us any less so?
Probably not.
Good intentions, good intentions.
You can call anyone a hypocrite, but remember the different levels of thoughts. Every single thing you do contradicts every belief you strongly support or any action you have taken before.
I hate just saying right out what I’m thinking without getting into the mumbo jumbo. Let me put it into a general teenage language anyway: intelligence does not go hand in hand with performance. Until you become cliché and ‘walk in my shoes’, you might not understand that. What was I pointing out? That the past affects presentation, people are different, and values are different. People change- the best are those who have had unique challenges.
I will not be judged by my record. I will be judged by what I do in the present and what I plan to do in the future.
If I hear one more condescending statement concerning education, academics, political, moral, and religious beliefs from one side I will give up on humanity. They just makes me sad that you allow your ignorance to radiate through your speech. But I guess I'll continue to laugh at your attempt to be "on top of the world", while applying your Darwin theory on human ability and disrespecting anyone at random who isn't like you.
I don’t care if anything in this is written incorrectly. If you do, then calm your oh educated-book smarts devoted-self and say it’s artistic instead. That seems to be the trend.
Put me in any completely new kinesthetic learning experience and I will woop you. Why do we have to conform to what we are told to believe and only value a person with what looks good on paper? Damn conservatives.
I think I’m tired.
