ARE YOU A GOOD JUDGE OF CHARACTER?

We all like to think that we are a good judge of character, but in hindsight how many of us regret past decisions with past encounters. It is our past that shapes us into who we are, if we deny the honest mistakes that we've made in our past how can we appreciate the challenges that we've struggled through and overcame. It may have been our bad choices that have brought us down to our lowest state of mind but it was our courage to persevere that pulled us out of depth of depression and helped build up our resilience to handle any situation mad or not. Life without pain without any push back of difficult situations creates an ill prepared mind that will crumble when challenged. So closing your heart and your mind doesn't make you safer from hurt it makes you less resilient when the shit hits the fan. Stronger minds are open to the world all of it good and bad. Iife is not about surviving with an easier path choosing to focus only on the good and ignore the bad , life is about opening up and growing up being vulnerable to the world is how you feel the world. We are more than ourselves we are part of a community that's why when we feel the pain of those who are suffering we try to do what we can to alleviate their pain. Happy you happy me and remember stop helping those who only think of themselves otherwise you will be dragged in their misery.
