I am not happy today. In fact, very lately I find myself thinking about stuff that makes me upset. The way I see things and analyze just about everything, has given me, literally, a stomach ache. I have not been able to go a single day without my stomach feeling gross and nervous. To be honest, it's very annoying, not because of the things I think about, but because of the effect that I imagine these things will have on my actions. There is one thing about me that I don't understand. It is am intriguing flaw and quality of my character that I question everyday; such a thing, is the thing that makes me wonder how ok is my sanity.
Today is one day, like many others, that I woke up, went to school, listened to an annoying lecture, fought my french class, read, kicked to Justin Beiber's I Just Need Somebody to Love, took a quiz, dissected a brain, filed some papers, took insult to one of my opinions, came home, checked my Facebook, read some stuff and now I'm up to this point. My anger. I really don't think that I have anger issues. I think I am very calm, in fact, I know I am patient. I'll admit however that when I lose it, its bad and I don't let go of it for a while. The thing is that I don't usually lose my head. There are ways, however, to make me lose it very, very fast. The latest of all is people's ignorance.
So like I said today, I took offense in one of my opinions, and this is what I came here to analyze. Sometimes, mostly lately, I look at a person and a voice inside my head goes, Who are you?, even though I've been knowing that person forever. Sometimes, its not forever, but I still think, Who are you? We've been studying the brain in anatomy and I have not stopped to be amazed by its capabilities( If I were to be a doctor, I'd be a neurologist).
Here's the way I see it.
Can anyone criticize the way another person feels or thinks?
Back in grammar school, they taught me that there are two ways to differentiate two things. Fact and opinion. Facts are supported by proof. Opinions aren't. So why must opinions be a matter of argument? The only things that are important in life are facts. Here are a few facts on life: We are born, we grow, we reproduce, we age, and we die. Everything else is just a matter of opinion; the way we are raised, the way we grow, the way one chooses to reproduce, what we do in life and what we make out of life. Why? Because everyone has a different opinion in the way that these things should be done. That is all an opinion is; a thought on what something should be.
Here's something else, this is about me. I don't consider myself to be super smart. I do however, acknowledge that I have a sense of intelligence. The way that I have acquired my intelligence is absolutely irrelevant. Why then, must I be judged by the latter? No one cares where we learned things as long as they are learned correctly. Forming my own opinions should not be a trivial matter. I admit that the way I think is neither wrong or right and it is not influenced by my knowledge. The way I think is just a reflection of FACTS. I'm very realistic and I say things how they are. Of course, I think before I say things. Thinking faster though, has been of my benefit. I am always thinking and I hate myself for it because I question a lot of things.I am an Interpersonal thinker. If I want things to go a certain way, I am the only product that can influence the result. Will it happen? I don't know. What does all this have to do with me being smart? Absolutely NOTHING! I am not smart because I read. I am smart because I listen and look for facts; even if the facts are hurtful.
My latest lesson in life that I, myself, am still trying to accept, is that the truth hurts but we have to accept it anyways. Nothing lasts forever, and that is just another fact.
Some things can last forever like our hope especially hope on what can be accomplished and the only one that keeps his promises is God. But opinions should'nt be critisized, all though Some might be changed... I liked this blog.
