Mistakes
- The idea of making mistakes, in fact, is purely the reason why (I think) humans have the ability to evolve in their thinking process. We have the ability to conjure up tools and experiment. However, when one experiments, they might have this notion to get it right the first time. That, ultimately, will never happen. They will never get it the first time because the probability of it happening is far too low.
- Deterring away from science, I find it most interesting (and haunting) how the upper-middle class education system judges people on mistakes. For the record if a person commits a mistake that harms and affects other humans, they essentially give other humans the right to judge them, because it HAS TO DO WITH THEM. However, when a person commits a mistake regarding oneself, I feel as if people still judge that person, regardless. They don’t have the ability to empathize with that individual and understand their situation.
- For the record, I feel this post isn’t worded the way I wanted to, but I am still going to post it anyway lacking in more deep thoughts or not. Whatever.
Oh man
I love the idea of humans supporting each other.
Very fluid. Connecting. Life altering.

Envy
- Whether you agree with tales of the Bible or not (I personally don’t) but I find myself creatively describing my critical flaws (flaws with my personality that are unhealthily creating a negative atmosphere in my life) parallel to the Seven Deadly Sins (Lust, Wrath, Pride, Sloth, Envy, Gluttony, Greed). I don’t really have any Lust apart from the normal attractions of an adolescent youth, and I don’t really get angry. I try not to be boastful about anything, and I am kind of lazy and procrastinating, yet I feel I can fix that easily, I don’t eat myself in food, and I try not to want much.
- However, I am indeed envious of many individuals within the upper to middle class society I live in. It is such an exhausting trait to have. I am always thinking, “Man Blahblahblah got this on the test, and I didn’t get nearly as high.” This realization makes me self-pity which is also an unhealthy, selfish trait to have. I feel this envy feeling derives from the programing within the society around me. I am taught that grades are everything. A person must look good, confident, be the best at everything. Perfection is the synonym for good. Reminder to those trying to be someone else: No matter how hard you try, you will never achieve a similar thinking process as they do. Also, to the perfectionists, no matter how good you think you are, there is going to be someone better than you. However, I accept the fact that I am not perfect. Do I want to be? I’m not too sure. If I was I would hate it; I am not, yet I feel as if I yearn for it. I yearn for the praise of everyone to feel me with momentary gratitude. Then I realize that will never be me, and learning to love myself for my past mistakes, successes, and whatever in between will help me achieve a sense of personal growth. I don’t know why I want to be someone I am not. It’s easy to get caught up in the moments of others, thus distracting yourself from you. I always say to others and myself, “You shouldn’t care about how others do when compared to you. Don’t compare yourself” and then I think, I DO COMPARE MYSELF. Why? I have honestly no conscious idea. Do I want to keep this behavior? NOPE. However, I feel as if identifying this unhealthy personality trait helps me open a door to better thinking. I know this post seems selfish, but moral of the story: identifying your bad habits is the first step to getting rid of them.
