My Point of View

Why can't others have my point of view? ha ha... Just like, why can't cows fly? (well, bulls have... I was witness to that first hand)

I guess since I have more time to think about things that normally wouldn't enter my mind, I find myself asking these questions:

1. Why am I quick to assume?
2. Why can't people have more common sense?
3. Why do I react AFTER something has been said, instead of choosing my words carefully?
4. How can I be kind and cruel at the same time?

1) I think it's genetic. I just assume the answer before any question has been asked... the outcome before anything has been completed... the reason before the cause has been posed. I am doing better, though... but honestly, I am not sure why I think this way... any of my psych majors out there, see if you can figure it out... :)

2) This is an age old question. People are going to be ignorant and uninformed for the rest of our lives... I just need to consider their life experiences and environment and adapt my thinking to them... All in all, I just happen to be around more of the have not's than the have's.

3) This would be answered by the statement - I'm lacking patience. I don't know how many times I have regretted what came out of my mouth... when actually my intentions were good... I have said many things, in a back-handed kind of way that have hurt feelings, and I in turn feel horrible about it. I'm not as bad as I used to be... but there are still times when I say something out of character that will just hit a button... and off we go... again.

4) Being kind and cruel... it would have to be a fake version of kind if I can be cruel at the same time... there really isn't a fake version of cruel. I'm sure that there is some deep dark meaning to this, but I think the reason is because sometimes I am just tired of being nice. I'm all out.


The more I reflect on society in a whole, the more irritated I seem to become. In an environment that supports entitlement and looks down on discipline amazes me. Am I being tested? Absolutely. Is there any one thing I can do about it? Pray. God please hear me when I ask you to help me deal with this a little more... I need help in the areas of being able to easily forgive, overlook, forget, and love things that annoy me. So, yes, I'm lacking patience in many areas of my life... but I am packing perserverance... hopefully the two will level out what is otherwise known as me.
