For a lot of reasons…it seems that i have a lot of angst within
why?
why must i always be faced with perplexing situations?
did i ask for it or is it because this is simply how our world functions?
no matter how much you say that you do not want to get affected by things gg on ard you
you will still be influences/affected by it to a certain extent
the question here is how not to get affected..but rather how much shld we allow ourselves to be affected
the more one wants to be ‘immuned’..the more one will realize how much he is being subjected to the power of influence
i have had a random thought today
what is the meaning of maturity?
recently i realized that a lot of things/unhappiness/madness have happened and it boils down a lot to my maturity in handling these situations
i suspected that i was kinda immature in handling these situations which got myself pretty upset..as well as the pple ard me
i questioned myself on why did i act this way?
was such a behaviour uncalled for?
then i came to think again…what constitutes the notion of ‘maturity’?
does behaving in the way you are EXPECTED by society means that you are being ‘mature’?
and again…who gets to say whether what you are doing is a mature act or not?
your parents or elders who are deemed as ‘mature’ pple?
have you ever wondered that they are also who they are coz society made them that way
the art of conform-ism…
well i guess after some internal debates…i kinda figure out that i rather subscribe to the notions of humility and respect…
many times we mix respect for obedience
it is coz i respect you that is why i obey you
my my…how wrong that sounds to me!
anyway i came to a conclusion…
in everything i do…i will humble myself and respect the other parties first before taking any action
i will want to take other’s feelings into consideration before i act (even tho a lot of times other do not take my feelings into consideration..it is ok!)
it is impt to me about how the pple ard me feel and subsequently get affected by my decisions and actions
yes a lot of times i err…and seriously throwing everything aside
and acting irresponsibly could be so much easier
saying things like, “i dun care” would really liberate me much more
but i guess that wouldnt develop my character much
it is coz i value these relationships and hence i am willing to take a step back
all in all…i hope that it is thru sincerity and example that i get to make a positive impact on the lives of others
i dunno how you see it…
but honestly it simply irks me to see how pple not practice what they preach
but wells…higher expectations…higher disappointments
once again…never pin your hopes on mankind
i have to learn the art of detachment man!
