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?

GRIEVANCES MISALIGNED

If we grieve for the victims how can we justify grieving for the perpetrators. This type of thinking puts us all in the victim box where no matter the circumstances we are all safe from blame because you now don't have to admit to any fault which is why it is now okay to treat self-responsibility just like an obstacle that you can just hurdle over. The choices you make go hand in hand with consequences that you'll eventually have to face this doesn't mean that your past should have the power to hold you back from the opportunity to learn from the bad choices that you've made by restricting how you react in the present. If you choose to be ruled by your past then the overpowering negative words that you've held onto will corrupt your present which is why you will have no future unless you choose take responsibility for your bad choices and treat them as lessons learnt but leave the past in your rear view and focus only on the possibilities of your future. You cannot change your past but your future is yet to be written so make the most of it because life is to short to dwell in the past.

COMMUNITY OF RIGHTS

We avoid solitude by connecting to something bigger than ourselves to a community which will take us in with open arms with only one expectation in mind for us to be a positive impact on that community. The only way that we can ever add to an already positive community is by sharing common values without having fundamental similar beliefs we would be left struggling at every crossroad. It is only through a positive value system that strives for peace with the show of integrity that will ever lead us all in the right direction. It is in the joining of our core beliefs that will build our trust in one another that will allow us to have a direction of purpose that in itself is the reward because without purpose in your life you have nothing. So give yourself purpose by adding positive energy to your surroundings because doing the alternative will only distance yourself from the community that you are ever so hard trying to be a part of. If you prefer to live a solitude lifestyle then see how far you can get without the innovations that a happy society brings to the community and its people. People are happier together than they are alone so it is in your best interests that you learn how to push your differences aside and just get along otherwise get used to the discomfort of the alternative lifestyle. 

BOUNDARIES OF CONVERSATION

When you put limits on your conversation not only do you restrict where the conversation can go but you also decrease your chances of building a respectful relationship with those you converse with. Without open conversation we are left attempting to fill the gaps that would normally gel together by tactfully changing the topics of discussion every time the topics got too sensitive for the other party to handle. If we feel the need to constantly change the topic of discussion to avoid uncomfortable confrontations maybe it's evidence enough that you are conversing with the wrong type of person. If you cannot converse amicably even under very different points of views, then part with the mindset each to their own. We will not always get along with everyone, but we should respect each other's differences as unique as long as we don't hurt one another and let each other live in peace that is the only way that we can ever flourish as a human race, the united race. 

MATCH THE MADNESS

Whether we do it intentionally or instinctively we seem to find ourselves comparing our lifestyle to the lifestyle of our peers. We do this to justify the choices that we've made over those of our peers who we believe have had the same opportunities to succeed but may have squandered their chances to shine. Our examination of their lifestyle compared to our own doesn't take into consideration that we dont always want the same things in life and what one person may want to reach for doesn't mean that the other person who is in arms length of it desires to reach for it at all. Some people are constantly craving more from their life while others are happier with just enough this is why trying to copy the steps of someone that is going in a different direction from where you'd rather be is just madness matching the surrounding madness may seem better than staying quiet in your comfort zone but the purpose needs to match your interest not theirs. So step out when you know that the direction you are heading is true to your heart otherwise you'll find out the hard way that mimicking a life that you do not care for will only result in you losing your identity when the dust settles.
