I’m sick of this crap
Filed Under Growing Up, Self Discovery, Sociology |
After spending a reasonable amount of time trying to express how I feel about something I was unable to come up with The Right Sentence. And while reading the response to the wrong sentence, it occurred to me that:
- It is difficult enough to make an I statement about myself, but it is impossible to make one about someone else.
- We are all at varying degrees of development the myriad of different facets of ourselves. Adulthood is a label conferred by others to allow them to treat you as they wish so that they might continue to believe that they themselves are adults.
In all of the challenges I face while continuing to remain alive - having to deal with other people is the hardest and most common point where I come unstuck. Why the hell do you people do those things and what’s wrong with doing it my way, really?
I admit that it would be better if we all just got along, but who really gets to decide what’s best for all of us? And until they can explain themselves in perfect Ben-language, how do I know that they know what they are asking? If communication is a two way street then not being understood means that I can’t possibly understand. Where do you go from there?
