KEEP IT TO YOURSELF

People are sociable creatures, and because of this, we feel compelled to share our thoughts with those we are surrounded by, even if it highlights our own personal vulnerabilities. Opening up to our peers gives us a feeling of comfort when they show that they can empathise with our current predicament, but opening up to the wrong person can have an opposite effect. If we dont carefully select who we think will be true to us when their circumstances get tough, then we are more likely going to face the repercussions of placing our trust in the wrong hands. Most people prefer to choose the easier option on hand and look at the world through their own eyes with disregard of what someone else's circumstances may be. Selfish people don't have any inkling of what the other person might be feeling this is because its a whole lot easier to see how your choices will affect you alone and most people would rather jump on the simpler option. On the other hand there are alot of us who claim that they go by the philosophy "Whats good for the goose should be good for the gander" but when it's their turn to face the music they would prefer to wear noise cancelling headphones to avoid facing the music. So, rather than putting yourself in a position where someone can manipulate your words to match their personal gain, maybe you should open up only with the ones you have a genuine bond with and the same level of integrity.

BAD TASTE

Our moral compass guides us to do what we know is right by steering us away from what we know is wrong, but some of us choose to ignore our gut by choosing the path that ultimately leads to repetitive regret. Going against your common sense will only ever lead you to repeat the mistakes that you made in your past that you had promised yourself never to repeat. Repetitive regret will always playback the same bad result that you unpleasantly experienced all those times in your past that you promised yourself that you'd never ever experience again. If we ignore our common sense, then all that is left to redeem ourselves is to take accountability for our actions because blaming someone for our current predicament will only hold us back from reaching the truth. The truth is something that you know that you can stand by without pause in your confidence that you are doing the right thing and that you are proud of the person that you see in the mirror. So stand tall and take responsibility for who you are.
