~~I have become more aware of definitive
patterns within human behavior. I find it interesting that if one takes
the time to truly study an individuals behavior...you will find a
inherent pattern lurking within. It then changes things making an
individual more predictable in their reactions and behavior towards others. I wonder where this characteristic
comes from...is it an inherent part of who we are as individuals...OR
is it a learned behavior and a conditioned response? Very few people
surprise me these days, this being said....I would like for someone to
truly make a genuine effort to evolve into a more considerate and
caring being . Is it possible? I honestly do not know, and
furthermore.....is there anything we can do as individuals to help
break a destructive pattern within someone else?
Questions, and more questions.....so what are the answers? I deduct
that most of society is looking for immediate gratification.....and
they want it at ALL COSTS ! Sad isn't it, that most are willing to
sacrifice others in their own selfish pursuits ? We are inundated with
problems, economics, apathy and general malaise concerning oursleves...No one knows what they truly want, nor how to
achieve the end desire without the end result being utter destruction
left in their wake. Perhaps it would be simpler to "Say what you
mean-----and mean what you say !" Honesty and trust are the building
blocks to any friendship, and relationship whether it be family,
friends or lovers. Self recognition is the first step....the second
should be implementation of the idea.....motivation is also a key
factor in this equation, as well as self respect. I urge everyone to
pause and look around at those individuals in your life...whether they
are close at hand, or on the peripheral , and think how your actions
effect others. Chances are that they definitely can help or hinder your
own ability to achieve success...or perhaps break a detrimental pattern
which you are unaware .
I have observed some whom seem to have a definitive patterned behavior.
They either remain detached burying themselves in their own problems
and the trial and tribulations of others, rather than focus on the task
at hand.Then there is another sect who truly enjoy their discontent,
would rather be unhappy and wallow in their own discord than try to
make a positive change. And still one more equally illusive grouping
who simply can not effectively function on the more basic levels of
human responsiveness.How do we break the cycle .....can we ? Is it
simply like the twelve step program for alcoholics.......they must
first realize they have a problem.....then CHOOSE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT
IT ?? it can be difficult to watch, actually painful......but I promise
there is much to be learned if we only pause long enough to allow
ourselves to witness the spectacle at hand.
Life is a journey we all must make.... why not make the most of the
time we have allotted to us ? A dear friend of mine suffered a recent
loss of someone close....This simply reminded me that life is short and
fragile.We waste an inordinate amount of time.and before you know
it------TIME IS UP!.Make certain you have closed your doors on
detrimental issues, then have the courage to open a new door You could
be surprised at where it could lead !...We should respect ourselves and
others just a tiny bit more. One thing is for certain....it would make
the journey infinitely more pleasurable !
Who knows....maybe the word SURPRISE....would not evoke the shudder we all have felt at one time or another !!
Yours in the fire....{and its getting hot }
