  • Worlds

    It is hard for me today to believe that there are absolute truths.  I feel as though everyone is living their lives the best way they know.   I used to believe that there was a certain rules that people should follow and certain behaviors that are accepted over others, but I do not think any of that matters. I dont think we need to justify our actions with words.  Just continue to be you and the world has to fit into your paradigm.

    Steve Jobs had this type of personality where others coined it a distorted reality.  His believe and conviction on something distorted your idea of the world creating what he wanted to come into fruition.   He would use this distorted reality to push his management and team to meet deadlines that were otherwise impossible.   That without a sense of apology is how he lived his life I believe.  I still need to finish his biography that is sitting on my desk.  

    I had a friend in high school named Richard.  He was the guy that I looked up to the most and also my best friend.  I wanted to be like him and even started dressing in his style.   He was very mysterious and never gave his opinion on things and people and thus girls were charmed by his lack of words and wanted to figure him out and liked him more.   There is a lot of truth to this that I still have yet to fully prescribe to.   

    Abraham lincoln once said that it is better to be silent and thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.  His point was that people can think you are an idiot, but they really have no idea.  It is when you say stupid shit with your mouth then you proved their assumptions about you in the first place.  There is a skill in keeping our opinions and why we do what we do a secret.  A child that appears to forget to wash the dishes is better than the child that brazenly defies to wash the dishes at times.   The difference is behind the motive of the child and the motive can only be proven if the child brings that knowledge forward.  There is that doubt that one can use to why an action has been done.  Was it out of selfishness or purely a mistake?  In the court of law, you never need to prove your innocence.  You just need to introduce doubt into the picture and if you can create this doubt, then no human would convict another without full knowledge.  

    What I been trying to say is I wish I was more enigmatic than always having reason and logic for my every action.  I wish I can just walk away and listen or pretend to agree when people say things without validity.  I question their motives, their actions, and the context.  I wonder why I try to understand people and the world around me when I barely understand myself.   If looking outward can help me solve the riddle of the desires of the soul, then I am on the right track.  I believe in the third eye.  Do you? 

    You know.  They say you dont learn anything new by talking.  Maybe I will dive into the mind of the people I think are illogical and lacking depth of reason.   Maybe I am the one that has been fooled of my understanding of the world.  Because what holds true in such a dynamic world.

  • I don't think we're ever going to really understand ourselves. We need people to see us from the outside because that's something most of us have a hard time doing. We don't always step back and analyze who we are. What you do to other people is what needs to be done, I feel. I love watching people and hearing what they have to say. Their little movements and quirks, and the choice of words they choose to use say a lot about who they are. I'd love for someone to analyze me. My SO does that to me and I do the same to him. We're both very observant individuals. He enjoys hearing things I notice about him that he may not be aware of. The same goes for me. It's a way for us to learn about ourselves.

  • i hope I remember to reply to this...

  • @xXrEMmUsXx - please do. I would love a bit more feedback on this post.   

  • @jennfaceee - yeah. I am completely that way as you can see as well, but there are times I wonder how else can I engage with people and maybe I need to take a step back and listen more.  Definitely appreciate your insights and story. :)  

  • abraham is a politican. politician's image is constructed through words and actions. look at sarah palin, and you know what i'm talking about. nevertheless, his quote may not apply to everyone.

    without being said, i dont agreed with abraham because our lives are different, in which we lived by our own standard. i say this because there are many advantages of being a "stupid fool" as equal as being "mysteriously interesting." there was this guy who thought i was mysterious, quiet and interesting, and he would follow up with everything i do, including past, present and future. when i disclose a lie and "fake" the things i do with actions to the lie, he leave me alone.
