The Underdeveloped

So maybe not all of us have slipped on our wisdom boots yet. A lot of people I know can't see whats right and wrong because they have been brought up in such a way that conformity to what their family believes is the only logical option. Perspective makes all the difference.

If everyone handled issues in the same way this earth would be nothing but boring. Finding compatible friends and relationships should be effected by this. With every instinct we have been hardwired with, we naturally attract people that are similar to ourselves.

There are different levels of comfort zones. Some people force themselves to act comfortable and open with someone because they believe they are alike. They push every difference out of the way and see only the likenesses... which are often very few. There is an unspeakable line to be drawn between a frequent friendly acquaintance and a friend. And there lies a most obvious and visible line between a friend and something deeper.

The underdeveloped mind can see nothing but what it wants to see and what it has been brought up from birth to know and believe is solid fact. I find the phrase, "never let education interfere with your learning" a helpful guideline for life. If we cannot learn from what happens in our social and intimate daily life, then why are we on this earth? It seems highly unlikely that we are all destined to go through the motions: go to school, work, have families, and follow the footsteps of the good American citizen. Its even more unlikely that any one person, including our parents, know everything there is to know about life.

I've spoken a lot about individualism and in this particular discussion it means more than anything for you to realize and embrace the fact that you must learn everything in this life on your own. Anything taught to you could potentially be slightly distorted... human error backs this up in entirety. Indifference will bring you no reward in this life. Caring brings learning, learning brings less hardships, and less hardships bring you all the more close to your pursuit for happiness. Don't leave any spaces blank, don't leave any pages unturned, and think always before you do.
