Human Nature

Have you ever sat back and observed people?

Not in the creepy, sit a few tables behind them with dark sunglasses, type of way. 

But in the, let me sit back & analyze where this really stems from...type of way.

well, ME...
I think I should have obtained a degree in observing human nature. It fascinates me. To watch what makes people tick... to watch how they react to things ... to watch how involved we become with other people that we often forget to self reflect & look inward at our own actions.

I'm guilty of this, it's a lot easier to look at everything else and every situation and make an analysis. 

Self reflection generates new levels of discomfort that not everyone is ready for. 

For the last 3 years or so, I've been forced to self reflect a whole lot. In moments that I wanted no parts of it. In the end, blaming other people, other circumstances, others actions is just a lot easier. Until you start seeing a cycle...Until you start realizing that in all situations, YOU are the common factor. That's when you should begin to look inward to get to the root of the issue.

UNFORTUNATELY, this is not common. It's a band-aid of sorts to cover an open wound by seeing where everyone else went wrong. It's a psychological defense mechanism to place logic on situations that make zero sense. When we know our actions have no logic, it's easiest to judge everyone elses.

I'm a hopeful believer that eventually everyone has their "Oh, Shit I'm a dumbass" moment. But the truth is not everyone does. Not everyone will. Sometimes in order to stay in toxic situations we HAVE TO lie to ourselves.

But lets get real... Rose colored glasses are filled with cracks... and tears behind them.
