I have lots of theories on what people can or cannot understand, and how clueless they might be sometimes. I am always questioning my judgment, and I still can't be sure of much of anything.
This is a rough topic for me, and I've never been able to really shake the feeling of being horribly, terribly flawed- and not only THAT though, but being also simultaneously responsible for it!Crazy isn't it? to lose sight of the problems, but instead attack the person
like there's some switch that goes off...
...people are complicated to be sure, and they adapt to their experiences, not always well, they make choices for better or worse, and without real intent - just doing the best they can - I think it was pseudoname who brought that topic up a while back - the concept that people are always doing the best they can, and it made me feel a little better for a second.... like I wasn't so bad
....and it's hard to know which way is up and which way is down when everything's been tossy turvy, and then someone might yell at you anyway 'cause Why don't you know which way is up??!!! (insert some type of blame here)people lose compassion, perhaps to be less able to know that they themselves are vulnerable, fragile, etc.
I'm not sure what my point is, but it can really mess with your head, the way some people are. I'm not clear on this topic at all, but I have a lot of feelings about it anyway.....
.....here's to trying to feel "OK"
'cause you're awesome :-)
