PERSONALITY VS NATIONALITY

 Alot of people believe that it is our nationality that defines who we are,  I prefer to believe that it is our personality that better represents who we are. Our place of birth may be where our loyalties lie but there is alot more to us than just our birthplace. If we were to believe that our nationality is the better reflection of who we are than that would have to mean that one person born in a country would be a carbon copy of the person that is next to them. Growing up in a community can have the power to motivate how you do things but in the end it's up to you to decide whether you want to follow in those same footsteps. We are so much more than the place that we grew up in our personality is shaped by many factors' genetics, environment, and the experience we face. It is our personality which makes us unique to others because it is how we've handled the challenges that life has dealt us that has made us who we are presently. So be proud that no matter how hard the storm has hit you, you have not let it drag you down where you'd struggle to get back up and the person that you can thank for that is the person that you've grown up to be, so stand proud because you are unique.

POWER WITH MORALITY

With the evolution of technology, we have managed to evolve our society to the next level, increasing our societies potential to reach further than it could have ever reached if the help of technology was never utilised. Without the modern marvels of technology in our lives, we would be stuck in past still trying to figure out how to solve the common problems of that day, but where there are technological advancements, we should not ignore what too much power in the wrong hands can do. Too much power would more than likely have a negative effect on society if we are yet to evolve our standards of ethics at equal measure. If we only evolve in power than we are likely to suffer in a lack of moral judgement? Where bad decisions are likely to be made before the ones that focus on the betterment of society. What we should be asking ourselves first before anything else is Has our own moral tendency matched our rapid growth in power?, because if the answer is no then we should probably question what will all that power that technology has brought us likely do in the hands of a power hungry control freak who has little to no ethics? Power without ethics is the quickest way to turmoil. So, we should remember not to be distracted by the power of technology with pointless blame and misguided frustrations but rather use the advancements that technology has brought us to our favour by educating people to advance their ethics standards so that they will help guide all of society to a better place that only accepting technology as progress can bring you.

OKAY TO DISAGREE

In the past we grew up arguing about which is better Nintendo or Sega, Soccer or Football, Holden or Ford but no matter how our much our opinions may have varied from each other we still managed to get along without letting our personal preferences get in the way of our long-term friendship. What used to be considered just a minor disagreement between good friends has now been transformed into a rational reason to not associate with anyone who thinks differently to the way they think. Those who hold onto harsh expectations feel that a challenging mindset to their own is like a knife in the back resembling a betrayal, this betrayal of sorts is seen as a lack of support even though the ideas that are portrayed go against your own core beliefs. The dilemma that we face today is whether we chooose to support someone else's ideas even though they dont match our own and by doing this could we be proud of our blind support that we reluctantly give or should we be honest with our own mindset even at the cost of possibly losing our so called friend. I believe a healthy friendship requires growth that can only be truly achieved through challenging times not in a quivering mind that fears the thoughts that they have that don't match those friends of theirs who would prefer their undivided loyalty over true honesty. So be true or be dishonest the choice and the repercussions are yours to deal with in the end.

PREY ON THE VULNERABLE

Those who choose to prey on the vulnerable only manage to highlight their own personal weaknesses .It takes being at your lowest mental state to not consider how your words may impact others. If your initial reaction to your uncomfortable stresses is to lash out at others by any means possible than maybe you should focus inwards rather than only outwards. When you ignore why it is that you feel that you have to prove your worth to others by putting people down in order just to show yourself up then you are denying the real problem. Your attempts to show others how clever you are by belittling the vulnerable doesn't highlight your dominance it highlights your ignorance because everyone in your social circle sees you for who you really are an immature person who has little to no control of your actions. So grow up and show yourself that you can do the right thing with or without an audience just because it is the right thing to do.

SINCERITY FALLS SHORT

Sincerity is waisted on the undeserving, for those who desire only the lies that would support their personal insecurities without any challenges to their false persona dont care for true empathy they only care for reassurance. They would prefer to keep things on a superficial level where engagement is kept at a minimal because with the help of distance and no shared time the chances of building a true connection with anyone is less than likely and without a true connection how can anyone ever discover that all their claims are false. The first sign of discomfort comes when they feel the probing questions that may lead to someone finding the holes in their story which is why they will find out the hard way that their chosen attitude to their peers will only ever make it hard to build a true relationships with anyone with standards. So if you are more comfortable with the lies that sincerity can not bring you then dont complain when you are surrounded by people who you do not matter to because eventually people will only go by the rules that you have put in play. So play nice if you want to be treated nicely. 

PRIDE IN TRUTH

 Pride can be a good thing when it is based solely on the undeniable truth rather than personal feelings which is why people feel comfortably confident to stand proud for what is deemed as objectively right. Having too much misplaced pride can affect the positives of what true pride can bring you because once someone's opinion is ruled by their emotions than what is objectively right is now pushed aside to make room for what is now considered the new priority "How do you feel about the uncomfortable facts?" and "How can we make the worlds issues less triggering". When you let your pride get in the way of the truth then your moral compass can no longer be relied on to guide you to the facts because now your first line of defence is "My truth is" which will always change to suit whoever makes the most noise. When did "Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me" lose its power?, was it the moment that we thought that it is better to support the weak minded ones who's grip on society is furthest from reality while those who are resilient enough to handle the truth just have to bear it. This all sounds fine and dandy, but we should ask ourselves one important question, Is the world a better place now that we've let the fragile mindsets lead us?

TOO RATIONAL TO ARGUE

Rationality is the universal language of logic, it is illogical to argue with it when it's only purpose is to make sense of the confusion that surrounds us. Without rational thought we would be left bumping heads with each other struggling to deal with the dramas that consume us. It is our responsibility to use the rational part of our brain to analyse our current situation so that we are able to formulate the best possible solution for our  dilemma. Once you've discovered the only right answer which has lead to the least negative affects in your life their is no need for you to hold onto regret because you now know wholeheartedly that you have taken all the proper measures to come to the only right conclusion. It is in your ability to use your rational mind to distance yourself from bad choices that a rushed decision can bring which is why your head should have the last say and not be swayed by your heart because your heart will lead you ashtray when your rational mind is not involved in the decision making process. 

REMEMBERED FOR WRONG

We live our life with the hope that those close to us will see us as a good person who brings positive energy not only to the world but also for those who live peacefully within it. This admiration we hope to earn may start from our life but we also hope that the sentiments are carried forward even after we've gone. This is because positive energy transfers to those that we leave behind and remains with them to hopefully spread the same positive energy to others. There are those who crave to be remembered even at the cost of their humanity which leads them to do unthinkable acts. Labelled infamous is not a deterrent when those who intentionally cause heinous crimes all to be remembered justify their acts as necessary while they're attempts to create a everlasting stain on the world will never outlast the good that rational minded people bring to the table. The world might highlight the bad people in it but there are more good people in it and that is why we will remember the triumphs over the failed attempts to spoil the peace. As disastrous as the pure evil acts are "History is written by the victors" this is why their attempts to stand out and rattle us will be stamped out because we will never stop the fight against the evil acts that come our way by using what we have in common against those who want to separate us from our humanity.

SIGNS IGNORED

Subtlety tactics may not work with the overly persistent nor the closed minded who without your stronger stance to their prying questions they will continue to throw caution to the wind which may result with an open dialogue that they may or may not be prepared for. Our choice of topic of conversation with our peers is a guide that we will use to measure what topics¹ are safe to talk about and what we feel is beyond conversation because of its sensitive matter this is all based on the bonds that we share with one another and is steered by our own willingness to open up so that we are able to find common ground with one another.  If we tread on areas of conversation that we ourselves find uncomfortable to open up about but are more than happy to continue to delve deep into the personal affairs of others maybe we should ask ourselves when things haven't gone to plan with our own life why is the circle of friends that we feel comfortable to confide with only consist of a small amount of close friends rather than everyone else that we spend time with?. Why does our storytelling change based on our audience? Is it because only some people are privy to the real us while others will only ever get the perfected version of ourselves on display?
