You Are Special

As a child I felt myself to be a philosopher of sorts. I would say “I can see out of my eyes, and I cant see out of yours.” Mind blowing isn’t it? Maybe not.

If we can only see things from our own eyes it’s then impossible for another peson to fully understand us. Our true feelings, inner struggles, fears and self value.

Therefore as a result of our unique makeup and limited supply(there’s only one you) we are each special and exceptional. To a stranger we are just another one of the billions of humans they must quickly pre-judge on initial encounter. To a partner we are someone they have a collection of information on from which they can attempt to predict our thoughts and actions. A partner can not exist in our hearts and minds and this is why constant communication is necessary.

I am getting off topic. What I want to get to, is though it is a fact that we are all novel, our novelty does not make us exempt. Anything hat has happened to anyone can potenially happen to me.

We should not enjoy seeing others suffer or go throuh drama. We should take a lesson from thier experience and imagine ourselves in thier situation in order to avert a similar outcome. This is one of the issues that I have with reality TV and celebrity gossip. These areas of entertainment make the real life characters seem so far removed that we don’t inherently see them as humans. We don’t empathize. We don’t see how these tragedies could befall us and in some instances where they do happen to us we wonder “why me?” We are special but not exempt.

Think of a bad relationship situation, we woulld like to say it could never happen to us, but I feel it is helpful to review the time line leading up to the bad relationship in order to prevent it from happening o you.
