I watched a co-worker cry yesterday. I listened to her as she did this, she was very angry and hurt by other department heads actions taken against her. I understand her pain, but said very little.
She is older then myself, by 30 years or less. I felt only mildly awkward. She felt better after releasing all of her problems. I remained unhurt in her dumping the toxic pool of problems, my mind was on cloud nine as it this morning.
I have seen so much in only 24 years of life. It is rather amazing, as I see more and more about emotions and the human condition then I ever thought would be possible.
I have come to understand people decide most of their own misery, myself included. We make decisions that we do not acknowledge at a later date that obviously put us in the boat that we are in.
Therapists, Doctors, Presidents, Social Workers, Humans. None of us seem to want to be held accountable. Yet the sickness, the mental illness that I speak of is when we try to lie to ourselves and commit similar decisions that lead us down a path that we should not have started. Yet turning around means admitting that it was mistakes of the individual, so we continue the lie-to-ourselves and continue down the path that will lead to so many worse things then death.

Emotional... Emotions... then just motion.

It's hard to admit to a mistake. But I think in the long run, it's much easier than dealing with it later in life...
much agreed. I like to think of failing as a colorful learning experience... besides when you fail at opening the parachute... then uhh, well it is not very colorful.
the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
I think I have to agree with Tammy to some degree.
MMMM. Tammy and Aria you correct. However if it is insanity, and the majority are afflicted with it? Does that mean the norm/majority is insane?
the thing is that everyone is abnormal no matter how they strain to "be normal" - there is no real Normal these days. We don't live in a cookie-cutter world like the 50's were. Based on that premise alone it means the majority of people are not necessarily insane... just clueless on how to proceed therefore they continue doing the same thing until it works. I love video games, but it's videogames like Super Mario Bros that teach us early on to keep doing this repeatively and eventually it will just work.
I can hit that damn ? box the same exact way 13 times but on the 14th for some odd reason that only programmers know, it works. The smallest glitch in life is what lets us have a different result.
Sorry for the long one there.
I think people who are "normal" and strive to be "normal" are abnormal.
Kitten you figured me out... *with a hiss* how did you know? *starts rethinking the plan*
ha, ha, ha! i've foiled your evil plans!

"I have come to understand people decide most of their own misery, myself included. We make decisions that we do not acknowledge at a later date that obviously put us in the boat that we are in."
This is very true. I have said this before but some people interpret it as arrogance and proof that I do not understand their struggles.
