Oh I can't begin to tell you how many time I prove that I am an idiot. Or at the very least, I am acting a tad little retarded (in my oh so Gabi way). I decided to instigate an intellectual conversation with David last night. Probably not the best thing to do right before heading to bed since it usually means for us that we won't see sleep til 4am. It went very well, though I still was able to find something to be frustrated and complain about. I tend to do that often. And of course it wasn't his fault again, it was all mine. Usually always stemming from something from my baggage collection. But it is altogether fine now. He has the most amazing patience with me and thank god. I am just still trying to adjust to a different life after what I lived through with my family. We didn't operate as most people might do. Not saying that everyone else is normal. There is no such normalcy in existence. We just happened to have a skewed look on life. I am gaining a better understanding of the environment I live in and that of the surrounding world. This was a big part of our conversation. Though being a product of my environment, I still have the capabilities to progress to a new level of living and enjoyment. For me, learning, reading, taking in of all information, and experiencing is an enormous part of my individual growth. We were discussing all the factors that come into play concerning the quest of individuals in this human society and the recognition that each grouping of peoples do not inherently have the benefit to work for the same wants and desires that those may have in our fortunate standing. There are those with such goals that there ultimate focus is to attain good nutritious food to eat everyday, and have a warm shelter to rest their bodies at night. Because other societies already have these basics of survival as a garauntee,there goals are to have not only a house or car, but the house and car they "want". It is about going for the next level of necessity that in reality is becomes more of a creature comfort for us. THoughts anyone....?
