It's always personal!

People tend to misunderstand all the time, which leads them to assume things and jump into conclusions, and take actions. Actions such as stop talking to someone, learning how to dance, learn a new language, learn how to fight, fight back, learn some mean quips, hate, judge, curse, hurt... The list is long.

On a very low level, individual to individual, sometimes things can go bad. And in order to comprehend someone, many things should be donw such as understanding where they came from, slowing down on the judging, trying more to reach out, transforming our hate into love, all that in order to be able to fix things. But, it's so hard sometimes, so difficult, and it does now always deem successful for us to fix things.

So how about a high level. Although the word "high" is not really meant in its honorable state here. How can, two groups of people, listening to one side, seeing one point of view, afraid of the other group, scared for their own exisence, beleiving in a certain idea... How can they understand where the other group comes from, slow down on judging this other group, try to reach out more to them, transform their hate into love, their xenophobia into trust, in order to fix things?

Balance of evil and good in this world, some say it's necessary, but what happens when evil is more ubiquitous than good, when balance is no longer just, when bad things occur more than good things, and when people drown and sink into hurting more than helping?

And what is worse, some think that they're helping while they are really hurting!

10 things I hate in people

  1. How only when we receive something in an email telling us about how we shouldn't take things for granted, that we actually realize it
  2. How only when we see something expensive even if it tasteless, that we think it's worth it
  3. How we wear clothes that make us look like a potato only because it is the trend
  4. How we forget the true meaning of holidays
  5. How someone thinks we are great friends to them only when we get them an expensive gift
  6. How friendship is no longer a feeling, but mutual interest
  7. How we take crap sometimes from the boss, just because we need our salary at the end of the month
  8. How the more we get paid, the more we spend
  9. How home is a large place full of fancy furniture, and not a small one with loved ones in it
  10. How success is a position in a company, and not a position in close ones' life
