why do some of the people around me seem to think that they know everybody else
so fucking well? like.. born psychologists.. when it's so pretty darned
obvious to others that all they're doing is jumping to conclusions?
i know i don't. and i know i
never claimed i did.
but why do people just love to assume so much? because it gives them certainty? because it gives them a basis upon which they can act? because it makes them believe that they are doing the right thing, because it makes them
feel good that they are doing something right?
oh, the nobility.
our most basic desires guide our actions, and we carry them out because we believe that they will best serve these desires. but do they, really? we don't know. or at least, i don't think so. which is why we have to look elsewhere other than merely to our own clueless emotions, to be able to seek, and find, what we truly want - happiness.
do i know what's definitely right for me? i don't. which is why i am still at the beginning of a very long journey. which i may never complete.
do i understand everything about how other people feel or think? i don't.
heck, i don't even understand my school urriculum, how the
fuck would i be able to understand
people?
but more importantly, i don't
pretend that i do.
which is why i don't judge people.
because most of the times you have no idea what someone may be like on the inside. but even if you do, it shouldn't matter. because they are still people. nobody deserves to be mistreated for what people perceive his attitude to be. because ultimately all that he is, is the result of his background. and his genes.
like jacen solo said, "they're no better or worse than we would be if we were raised in their system... it would be like hating a child for being raised badly."
and because nobody is ever beyond redemption.
which is why i
treat. everyone. equally.do i sound angry? i guess i do.
and i thought that i would be able to go, for
one year, without actually being angry at somebody other than myself.
like obi-wan said, "good job!"
kyp durron would be proud.
i just wish that people would stop behaving as though they're God. Because they can never be. Nobody can ever be. Only the Force itself can ever be complete.
but in the meantime, here's to anyone who might be reading this.
the next time you hear someone say, to yourself or to another,
"he/she/you're just trying to show that.. "
"he just thinks that.."
"admit it, you're just trying to say that.. "
"aiya, face it la, you're just.. "
or
"knowing you, you'd probably... "
please, for my sake. or for your sake. or even for their sake. for the love of the Force.
tell them to sit the
fuck down, shut the
fuck up, and think:
before you ever think to judge another, please, just look in the
fucking mirror and ask yourself whether you even know who you are.
