Your father. Your mother. Your brothers and sisters. Aunts and Uncles, Cousins and Grandparents. Your best friend. Your worst enemy. That mean guy in your english class. Your boss. That teacher you hate. The stranger that stops what they're doing to help you out. The crazy old homeless guy on the sidewalk. Your children. Your significant other. Me. You. ALL of us have one fundamental thing in common, quite possibly the most important thing to remember when dealing with any other person: we are all ONLY HUMAN. We are all helpless pawns/products of the environment we develop in. And our tendencies, our personalities are hardwired into us by the combination of our parents' biological histories. Our only worthy contribution to this world we live in, is the effort we put forth to improve ourselves throughout our lives despite what is hardwired into us biologically, and despite our surroundings. So be a little more empathetic. Sometimes people make honest mistakes, or sometimes they just aren't aware of their own wrong-doing. Sometimes they JUST DON'T GET IT. It's when their actions are premeditated that you have to worry. When they do hurtful things knowingly, and intentionally. It's when they're completely aware of the damage their actions will do, and they either don't care, or even hope for messy results. When they are malicious and vindictive in what they do. That's when you have to hold them accountable. Otherwise the rest, sadly, are oblivious to their blunders. When it comes down to it, we're all just trying to make ourselves happy. Sometimes to achieve that, we knock eachother out of the way… What most people don't realize, is that if we followed our intuition more often, our paths would be more harmonious. But all these distractions from ourselves (the media, materialism, celebrity lifestyle, glorified names and symbols) block us, and take our attention away from that path. So what do we do? Not enough people take the time to reflect on themselves. Maybe they're afraid of what they'll find: imperfection. But the trick is to love those little dings and dents in your soul. They're there for a reason, and the best part? We all have 'em. :)<3Alli
