Release me

Life! Sometimes it is very hard to understand what is going on around you or better yet, why it is happening.

You can’t predict what people will do and sometimes hope is just a concept and nothing more. Why hope for tomorrow, if nothing is ever promised tomorrow today. You would think that the best thing to do is seize the day and live life to the fullest "CARPE DIEM". But we cant, we are bound by people and society and other fetters.

It is so easy to just think about oneself and forget about other people. Sounds good especially when people only think about themselves. Generally, people don’t think about other people's feelings especially if they are not constrained by it. I don't subscribe to this, but I am surrounded by people who do.

In my self-assessment I think that my greatest downfall or character flaw is that I think about other people's feelings and I am constrained by it. I don't like to do something that may cause someone to feel bad about themselves, or feel belittled. I can’t so I don’t do it. Apparently, this is what is necessary to survive in today’s world. You have to have the killer instinct. It is killed or be killed. It's kinda like: In any relationship developed: intimate, professional, social the thought is: to protect my self, I am going to make you feel pain before I do".
