Don't Judge This Entry

[truthsbeholder]

When you think about it, it's pretty scary to think about how little control over our own lives sometimes. The opinions and attitudes we form about people and ourselves can be horribly skewed on occasion but at no fault of our own. Everyone judges each other's actions and personality unconsciously. It is an ongoing process too. We compare one

There is nothing we can do to change this situation. We have become so wrapped up in the act that we put on for others that we have begun to believe the lie and, indeed, it has taken over most of us. During those rare moments of deep introspection I have found that, in switching from home schooling into a public high school, I have become less of the person I thought I was and more of the person that the people I surround myself with want me to be. Since these self-awakenings are rare, I usually seize the moment and try to change myself back into myself, but I usually find it easier to just go with the flow and act how people expect me to act. Of course, with a lot of will power, I am able to overcome the pressures exerted on me by society for a while, but they eventually break me down and I fall back into the personality that society has deemed fit for me to use.

I don't think that there is much we can do about it, but if you want to start a revolution, you can count me in.

Judge and be judged

Well I can think of a few responces, I agree fully about people making judgements. I think people make judgements because it our way of make sense of things. Let me explain, most people strive to understand things that is human nature to. We judge when we first meet someone off of prexisting so that we can attach quick set of lables to them. Those lables, true or untrue allow us to make sense of the situation/person. It takes time and I might even say work to get past those judgements.

When we break down the facade we wear who are we? Maybe we are better maybe we are not it is hard to say.

When we say life is unfair its not because its in our favor its because of our unfavor(is that a word). So be happy about when life favors you. I know it can.

crew people are so durn reflective. wow.

just so you know, I never thought of your name as a pompous thing. maybe because I know you well enough to know you're not like that - I don't know what some random LJ browser would think. But I guess I associated with the "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" thing except with truth... like, an idea that you make your own truth. This idea doesn't actually fit my belief system, but it seemed to fit yours, so I guessed it's what I used as a reference....

I dunno. Whatever the truth on this issue is, reading your journal is a nice break from the calculus that I should be studying. :)

Blast!
