Im getting really really really REALLY tired of being told im naive and that I need to grow up.
Im perfectly aware that shit happens, because it happens to me. It happens to me all the time. I trust people i shouldnt. I believe people want to do the right thing by me because i want to do the right thing by them.
I know this isnt the case ninety five point six two nine seven five percent of the time.
I know people walk over me, I know people have maliscious intent, i know people will let me down, it is part of being human i guess although it is no excuse which is the point im trying to make.
Just because people are bad, does not mean we should not expect goodness. Especially if you yourself are good.
I try, and i fail miserably all the time, but i sincerely try to spread goodness. I want to be good to people, because life should be good and kind. The fact that life is not GOOD for alot of people has a lot to do with how you treat people and how they treat you.
Im not saying that this philosophy is bullet proof, because it has let me down many times. But i can sleep at night knowing that if im treated badly, it has nothing to do with me.
Just because you steal peoples valuables for drug money, does not mean you will do it to me.
It doesnt mean you wont. But when i talk to you im going to make the conscious choice to believe the good inside of you will resonate with the good inside of me and you will give myself and my belongings the respect they deserve.
Being naive would be me not recognizing the bad in the world, and believing that it is all rainbows and sunshine.
Being ....fill in the blank......everything i want to be in this world.....whatever you want to call me...is recognizing the bad in the world and not accepting it. Fighting it. Changing it.
Big win...and grad school finally arrives (kindof)
