I know my image hasn’t really been built up the way I expected it to be. I always admired those were acknowledged for accomplishing things, but instead my reputation has just been clouded with misunderstanding. I’ve tried to hide myself from the world in hopes they would forget about it all, but they’ll always be there. I knew that wasn’t the best action and the quiet eventually consumed me, but I began to understand everything or I’ve been trying to. In my mind everyone is completely misunderstood, but you should try to understand the people around you as well as your enemies. Hate can easily be spread and it’s easy for us to lose ourselves when we let our emotions get the best of us, but it’s saying the same for others too. It seems as if those who are so hateful must have gone through something just as painful. Let’s give this a scenario. If you and a good friend were to get into an argument, you wouldn’t be as mad as you would be because you know the person too well to truly be mad. If it were a stranger you would have an even worse reaction, but of course that is obvious. Whenever we react based on our emotions we begin to lose ourselves slowly. Let’s say you had a time machine (not like we do) and you went back in time during the day and you saw the reason why the person was in such a bad mood, like probably getting yelled at by their parents or something just emotionally effected the person in a way to behave that way, would you try to understand and forgive them for acting in such a way? Let’s say you went back even further in time to when they were being raised and you saw the person being bullied or abused and came the result as to why the person acts the way they do now, would you try to understand then? I mean of course we don’t have a time machine, but my point is that just cause we don’t understand someone doesn’t mean we should treat them in a way we don’t want ourselves to be treated. If you feel as if you are the one misunderstood you are the one that’s misunderstanding them as well. If you want to handle any situation in the best way, then try to understand them in the best way you can and accept them for the way they are. Just understand that they might not understand and move on. You can hate me or resent me, but I won’t blame you. I’ll just understand that you don’t understand and accept it.
Everyone has a different perspective on what’s right and wrong. To a person they may feel like the world’s ending as for someone else in the same position they might feel like they’ve done something amazing. It’s easy to get emotional over the smallest things, but you should understand why things seem that way. We should never act when we feel it’s right otherwise we’ll just continue to whine over the smallest things, but instead we should act when we know it’s necessarily right. Whether or not the situation is worth it or would you just rather walk away a better person.
I know how to keep my distance from people and I know when speaking to a person whether or not my words will come off in a certain way. If you were really her friend, you wouldn’t keep her from isolating herself or keeping her problems to herself. Instead you should help her with everything that is going on in her life instead of assuming what the problem is. If you already know what’s troubling her, then why not help fix that? It’s not my obligation, but I want to help her since it feels like no one else will.
