It's Just An Extended High School.
I don't know if everyone is like me... but sometimes I can almost hear the clock ticking away the seconds of my life. I've always said life is short... but many times I can feel it. There's not enough time to waste on fruitless endeavors. We all are searching for things that keep us happy... at least those things that don't make us unhappy. I have my happy. It's just a chore sometimes to keep weeding out the bullshit from my life. Life is a lot like a flower garden. you sow your seeds and look for beautiful flowers to grow. unfortunately, you have to keep weeding. or the weeds will take over your garden.. The most beautiful of gardens take attention.. and planning... but the most beautiful of flowers can grow anywhere.. I'm tending my garden.. making certain to keep what's precious to me from being stifled out by the weeds.
It seems a lot of people cannot be happy... unless they are stifling ...something or someone. Maybe it's jealousy? ...or paranoia? ...the motives for some people's actions are a complete mystery. But the norm for most people is that they want to tear others down. It's really a sad state. We all have this... power to hurt or destroy... but we also have the same power for building and repairing. I've known so many people who choose the former.. I will admit.. the destruction is more a show of power and force.. who among us can say that we've said nor done anything destructive to someone else in the last 2 months even. This would include saying anything negative. ...I know I'm guilty of it.. but then we wonder why there is so much negativity in the world.. it's because we choose to propagate it. I don't see how we can expect our lives to be positive.. if we can't weed out our part of the negativity. I understand why my life has conflict. I put it there... well.. I might not have instigated it personally, but no matter what I feel about someone or something.. for me to invite those negative thoughts into my heart... and to spread it to others... well... it has a tendency to come back. It's karma, actually.. There might be negative things online... and negative people as well.. but I seek to avoid those things. I'm not going to go to someone and say... look at all this shit you've started.. because I would be just as guilty in feeding the drama.. I do, unfortunately, find myself guilty of portraying certain people as less than positive... which is completely wrong of me. I'm working on that part of my character. I don't know if I will ever stop completely... but I refuse to take an active part in trying to destroy something constructive. If things make others happy... that's a good thing. I should have no part in stifling a part of anyone's life that makes them smile. I've known people who when presented with information about someone or something... will immediately use that to spread gossip and innuendo to cause rifts between others. That's something I've been guilty of doing a few times myself... but in doing so, we build a name or reputation for ourselves. Who wants to be inundated with all the possible mistakes they make. Most people figure it out... instead of going to the source, people love to jump to conclusions and take actions that are really not necessary. It's all a part of our need for drama... for most people anyway. We can justify things any way we choose... but actions are the same no matter what the reasoning.... and those actions will have the same outcome... Then we pretend we don't want the drama in our lives. We might not want the drama to directly affect us... but I've run across few people who don't like to start something occasionally in the lives of other people. Sure... things might not be going according to someone's plan... but anytime we make a supposition without substantiating it... we are a part of the problem. I can see me sort of doing that myself at the moment... I am choosing a course of action.. without knowing all the facts. The problem I run into is that by obtaining the facts... I can choose to instigate more drama.... by finding out I was right... or drama would unfold due to my confrontation.. either way.. it's much safer to just remain outside that circle of drama.
I have always said.. I support my friends.. and I try to as much as I can. ...but even that can lead into conflict when the high school is in session... and that's what most of the online world is about.. it's just an extended high school.
