Sometimes human Selfishness knows no bound, it's aggrandizing a little unnecessary, ignorant as well as unthoughtful. Forgive my broad-minded idealism but the truth a person reading this post might be have issues, could be marital or personal that brings them anxiety, pain and utter depression and the short cut to feeling better from these problems in their perception is either to have great unprotected sex with a complete stranger or go to a bar or bungled up and have six pints of tequila with several mug shots and sniff some head bangers. But see, we're often after shortcuts for everything in life we want to always get the quickest way to come out of a heart break which we knowingly induced ourselves into, we want a magic wand to wave and everything is all kumbaya in our businesses, family and career we want to get drunk without misbehaving and we want to have sex with a one night stand and we don't want them to get pregnant.
Truth is everything we give in life is often very little compared to the things we ask for. Because we lack perspective sometimes we cultivate laziness of the highest order and this makes us commit the biggest of mistakes which remains forever. Forgetting the fact that we're blessed with an understanding of perceiving what's right or wrong we still go ahead to do the wrong things with the excuse that we're under pressure we needed to knock off a few head and only a drink will cure us even when we understand that drinking might lead to irresponsible driving which might in turn lead to putting someone permanently on a wheelchair, we still ignore this possibilities that may result because of negligence of truth, isn't this the most callous of reasoning? And the laziest form of understanding true responsibility?
We often belittle our abilities to do more in life because of ephemeral things like family problems we feel we can't be responsible for others but only ourselves, truth is when you're tackling difficult issues in life and still have time to have a meal it means your problems are equally proportional to your abilities to hold your resolve and that means that there's more in you to be selfless, law abiding, considerate and resistant to partake in actions that might cause permanent harm directly or indirectly. I look at my life for example going through very serious health issues and still carrying the responsibilities of those who aren't and still finding the will to do the right things in life means that I've accepted the harshness that can come with reality. Some of us aren't born into flowers and golden mangers with corn flakes, baby food a million expectant faces. Most of us maybe product of unprepared sex by two irresponsible people who think they're in love without understanding the perogative that may arrive in the life of the child they're bringing to the world.
But what do we know? These circumstances surrounding the way we might have been born might lead us to leading a life where we just want to smoke, drink, have sex with anything and wait for death to come anytime believe me it feels this way when it seems you're not wanted in life. A lot of time, we confine ourselves to living the shadowy life, lurking in the dark not minding if we're becoming a villain, a toxicity or a problem to our society but we still keep living this life of sheer ignorant even when we're the greatest design ever forged. Truth is our trying time most times is only the icing on the cake compared to some people's issues. I've seen people refuse to give me jobs agree to go on a date with me all because they feel I don't have that strength to do what it takes or outlive my frailties and I take this inferiority with the way they treat me and move on. I accept I might never find love, land my dream job or have they huge career but this is just my inkling, what do I lose if I keep trying?
In conclusion we aren't infallible neither are we robots or giants, we're we and we don't get to play to short time game. We might have been treated like dirt and given the craziest of life, hell we might have even inherited it but playing the blame game and choosing to mete out hell that was equally given to us to others is gross incapacitation of the highest order. We should be better despite not framed to be. Tears and regret and pain and whatnot it's the we aren't and this is what differentiates the people we often revere and the people we don't.
