Understanding

Sometimes it is tricky to be genuinely nice. It seems as though we grow old and critical. Becoming aware of the world, we will always find anything benefiting ourselves is the best answer. Thinking about cause and effect, living to see the outcome of actions it is almost as though actions taken through friendship, love, consideration and selflessness always payoff in one degree or another. However, feeling owed, wanting to harm another or expecting a return always ends badly.

Always wanting to the best for others has an end. Life creeps in and we want things. People theorize this is an activity nurtured by society; however, even children are competitive. Always wanting to decide with the heart and compassion, there are many thoughts spinning through the mind obstructing decisions despite an understanding that each circumstance is different and needs a different answer even when circumstances appear identical.

Thinking about my own life, there were many options to get married as a young woman, yet I always want whatever I do not have. I did not like being a trophy or possession. Then I found someone who always wanted to spend time together, as opposed to an exchange of time and compatibility with gifts and objects. Later, I decided gifts and objects showed love more than shared experiences. You must think of the other person when shopping. In fact, allowing a person time to go to work and school proves trust, while having to be around all the time largely stems from mistrust.

People have many theories about personalities and what to expect from everyone. Some might interpret this as a method to rid yourselves of awful influences bringing you down; however, there are advantages and disadvantages in each personality type. It is the position of an individual to identify the advantages and go to the correct person when needing affection, empathy, strength, entertainment or protection. By balancing everything together every person should have everything they need from friendship. It is important to recognize the value of other people to remain humble. Humility helps us recognize we are also imperfect, mostly recognizing do not want to be judged as harshly as we judge others, from time-to-time.

In Taoism, there are many passages against the propriety. The propriety is essentially an interaction between people and judgment to from social norms. People without virtue only follow social norms in public and then carry on as they want when no one is watching. Many fight against the propriety sighting each other as oppressive to impress friends. After enough yelling, fighting and subverting the message makes sense. Negativity toward the propriety will not be removed from any literature, songs or films, since it is a type of learning through activity. In addition, it connects individuals to someone greater than themselves when finding answers.

As days pass, there is simply a time the ego has to rest and a person decides to maintain direction. Whether vocation or relationship sometimes the only real answer is commitment; however, the winding road has rewards of memories and knowledge.
