So, the second post hmm? I should probably talk about somthing... Ok, lets talk about our desisions in this blighted little world and how they efect us. Sounds fun no? Ok, here is an example. lets say that I meet someone that I like, and that person likes someone else. Now, i can chose to help that person with their potential love intrest, or i can chose to be a selfish insensitive git and fight for her. The number of people who do the second is so large, it is almost sad. I doubt any of them think of the conseqinces either... Now, second example. Now, lets say that i see someone getting the living daylight beat out of them by someone twice as big as me. now i can chose to be the hero (albeit a broken and battered one) and atempt to stop said beating, or i can chose to walk away, and face the possibility that the guy just might die. Now the people who chose the second option for this particular category is even more stageringly large than for the first example. Shows how bad we are at thinking about others... or even our selves somtimes.

About the first example, hmmm.. I might well be wrong, but I don't think you've been in the situation yourself. Not that I've been in such a situation myself, but if I were, I don't think I'll have the strength to assist my love interest with 'his' love interest. It'd hurt way too much. The most I'd be able to do is walk away, and that too with great difficulty(unless of course I have a major inferiority complex, which I don't think will happen to me..) So basically, it'd require great strength of character to do that. It takes a hero to play the hero in such cases.. :)
ReplyDeleteAs for the second example, it's the same, but at a more physical, less emotional level. The logic would be that if I were that much smaller/weaker than the guy doing the beating, then it's not like I'm gonna be of much help. And I'm not really into getting myself hurt for no reason. Self-preservation is a pretty strong instinct. The logical step would be to fetch help- basically save the guy getting beaten up, and save my own skin.. :)
Well, about what you said about the first example, i am infact in a situation presisley like that at this time. I do have a very large inferiority complex. Everyone in this world is, according to me, better suited for any potential love intrest of mine. It does hurt, but you get used to it, which i have to admit is pretty sad... :P And second, i would have to agree with you on your plan of action, i am just pointing out that people will expect there to be someone to do that, and not do that themselves. If everyone thinks that, well, nothing happenes O_o
ReplyDeleteI would like to thank you for being the first to comment on (and probably view) mt blog. I encorage you to read more :)
First example, don't view yourself as "unsuited" to anyone. If you view yourself that way, others will view you that way as well. While I can not see inside your head, I am sure you have many qualities that are equally deserving as any other "suitor".
ReplyDeleteSecond example, this country is going to hell in a hand basket b/c people are not willing to become physically involved, let alone personally involved in someone else's problem. I am not saying that I would be the first person to jump to the defense of another but I would hope that if the opportunity would present itself that I would defend a helpless soul regardless of the cost.
Now, about your blog. I think it is great that you are taking the time to start a blog and you should keep doing it. That being said, please look at spell checking. Nothing is worse than reading thought provoking comments with misspelled words, it really discredits your intelligence....
I stand right behind whatever Mr./Ms. Anonymous said... :D
ReplyDeleteok,ok, i'll use spell check...
