Stop Pressurin' Me, Makes Me Want To Scream

It's funny that when I look back at posts from Novemeber, the same problems have seem to come around yet again. It's quite a tragedy when people cannot grow and learn from their mistakes. And if their were no mistakes, learn from situations and handle them differently the next time around. Unfortunately, that does not seem to be the case. Most people have an issue with looking at themselves critically and trying to adjust and mature. It's not to say that one should change themselves completely, but that one should know how to analyze and adjust. It's like writing a paper, there seems to always be a better way to structure your sentence or a more scholarly way to say a phrase. The same is with each individual person. We are created to grow and change and adjust, that is the marvel of the human race. There should be adaption and understanding and when one can't adapt, they become extinct. That is the way of nature, thus that is the way of society, or of any relationship (romantic, friendship, or otherwise).

On another note, humans cannot always be like animals. If there is a weaker animal in the herd, not all humans will leave them behind to die. The ones who stay and try to aid the weakest in survival are few and far between, but they exist. Some, on the other hand, become hardened and feel no emotion as one of their heard is threatened by a lion. Others feel remorse but do not turn to look back, looking out for their own self interest. It is the mother theresa of the herd which sometimes may be weak, but overall, is the strongest of the herd. They may not have ever hunted, or may not have felt the pain of being bitten by the tiger, but they understand and can feel empathy so great that the same emotions can be transferred into them. It is a rare but powerful gift, and those who appreciate it are the ones who can reap the most rewards from it. Again, though, that generally is not the case.

We must all make our own mistakes to learn, most of the time. But Eleanor Roosevelt teaches us that you should "Learn from the mistakes of others. You can't live long enough to make them all yourself." In essence people should reap the rewards that they have the ability to make their own mistakes that are different from those of the past so that history will not repeat itself. If one learns and understands their history, they will create a new and brighter future from themselves full of new opportunity rather than broken records. Maybe you will take this knowledge to heart, or maybe you will find that I am right but ignore it because you don't feel it applies to you. But whatever you do, know that it is your decision and you must suffer with the consequences. Just remember to look at yourself critically, not to hate yourself and look at yourself in negative light, but ask yourself "how can I be the best that I can be and do all that I am capable of?"

For today, those are the words of the wise; or at least the one who is delusional enough to think maybe she is wise. Who knows, apparently my theories are discredited because I understand through observation. But the problem is, I study people, and I understand them so well that I know their actions and I know the outcomes before they happen. And when they happen as so, we I suppose I win. Although generally, my winning results in some negative occurrence towards myself, so it really isn't winning at all.
