A wise man
once said that there is a time for everything; a time
for laughter and a time for grief. Now, in many of my sayings I try to reflect that, I gather, I have a good understanding of human behaviour. This does not mean that it doesn’t hurt, when aberrant behaviour touches me. Today, I felt alive… I felt sorrow; I related to a typical human emotion; and at the time, it was the right emotion to feel. One does not walk around crying with grief the whole day for months on end, but sometimes a tear of sadness is okay. In fact; given the right circumstances, the lack of the appropriate emotions would be considered “cold” or insane. So, forgive me when these words are sad; when the emotions get strong. We all love other people; ones that are close and others that’s supposed to be close, but that are not. With so many other beings around; we are bound to be touched, in some way or the other, by them. Our judgment of their decisions; how we see it as right or wrong does not change the fact that they have to make them. Their decisions should be under their control; while we may not understand why those decisions were made. I’ve learned that sometimes misunderstood decisions are made purely for self survival; self survival is important too. We can not take full responsibility for others; not in the way they reached a verdict, in anyway. They should make their decisions, based on the greatest good they can see; our reality will probably be removed from theirs. So, I do understand why it is important to allow others their freedom of choice. But, be fair; allow me to be sad. Tomorrow is a new day, with a fresh perspective on all matters I will get involved in. I know that tomorrow, grief about the situation will be too much; falling into the “victim” syndrome. So, today; just for tonight… allow me to be mad. Tomorrow I will recall again; how not everyone is aware that their actions, affect more than themselves. |
