Differences that hurt us.
The one mean thing we do to ourselves is: we compare. We are never truly happy with what we have, and that is basic human nature for most of us; being receptive, critical and comparative, is one apparent quality that reflects this notion.
Certainly, being inspired is a perk, but engulfing our accomplices' traits, not to indubitably 'add' to our characters but to have it fight with what we already are, is dangerous. It leaves us with a sense of inferiority and in turn, upsets us heavily.
We are suppose to be individuals, with our own set of problems and blessings, and all with varying degrees. And it's meant to be explored, build-on and embraced. What we mostly do, is we fail to take this first step and readily jump onto other sources of inspiration. Just like two fingerprints, that are never the same, we can't blade our personalities to match that of others, so why bother?
So, I guess, what I am trying to say, is we need to be a bit grateful for our distinctiveness and not treat it is as a menace; you inevitably end up having a fight with your own self, and since no one in the world judges, never truly, what makes a good person a good person, we fall into a loop of endless confusions. And take it from me, it is NOT a nice place to be in.
Take baby step, just try and come to terms with yourself. It'll be relieving, to say the least.
Love,
Rutaba.

Reminds me of a Quote
ReplyDelete"Dont try to blend in too much, they you become invisible" At the end of the day, your distinct personality traits define you are.
So true. Thanks for the lovely reminder. It's so difficult to NOT fall into the unhappy trap of comparing.
ReplyDelete@Pandaman :
ReplyDeleteThat summed up everything I said in a few words. :3
@Zeba:
:'3 Thank you. I just hope I can implement it as firmly :)
The answer is to respect uniqueness in individuality.
ReplyDelete@The Purple Assassin : Couldn't have put it better. :)
ReplyDeleteI disagree, whats the point of life if we are not competing, fighting to be better and higher then we were yesterday. I think competition is what makes us human besting each other is what drives and keeps us alive
ReplyDelete@Anas I simply am referring to comparing not competing. Here : "Certainly, being inspired is a perk, but engulfing our accomplices' traits, not to indubitably 'add' to our characters but to have it fight with what we already are, is dangerous.

ReplyDeleteWhat I wrote, is that being influenced is good but not in the context of feeling inferior or complexed. :]
Your point of view is agreeable, but its' a whole another topic for another day. :3
Thanks for reading and the feedback :3
