A Short Reflection

Over the years of my life I’ve learned a lot about who I am, although, not all of the traits are positive ones. However, I still have much time to improve myself, which I intend to do during the course of this year. Not everyone sees another individual’s point of view, and, at times, I include myself in that category. We usually see things from our own perspective, but the greatest problem with this is that we cannot tell how the other person feels, only how we feel. This perfectly explains a large portion of who I am, because I often seem strange or different to someone who doesn’t understand me. The problem with that, in this world’s society, is that being different is usually determined as a bad thing to others, even when this isn’t always the case. We become afraid of things we don’t comprehend, and a relief to this is often criticism, but how does that solve the problem? Sometimes, it’s good to accept other’s point of view and not criticize it so much. After all, I’m certain you wouldn’t enjoy having the same thing happen to you, right? Someday I hope the world will come to better terms with each other and share their differences together without the fear of belittlement. Instead of pointing out the negative traits we see in others (thus driving them to such extremes as possible depression) we should focus more on the positives that they also express. I wait patiently for a day when the world will settle out these various issues in harmony, without all the needless war and violence we continue to see in the recent decade. Even if that moment is the last vision I see before my death, I dearly wish for it to come true.

Someday…
