Who Knows Everything?


Everyone around me is being irrational with their yelling, crying, observing, stupidity, and idiocy. Yet, that’s what we are: a bunch of idiots screaming, “I’m right and you’re wrong!” When we know that there isn’t any truth in the statement. We each find what is right for ourselves, do we not? Whether it be through a hard, difficult road or an easier, safer path…we all eventually determine what we’ve always wanted for ourselves.
So, why is it that other people make a point to get in the way?
Our decisions are never fit for their taste; we don’t make choices that rise up to their expectations…
But, I often find myself asking, what does it matter?
If choosing what they would have wanted will ultimately make me unhappy…why listen? Because it’s how they’d rather me be? Because it’s the ‘right thing’?
The right thing…what is the right thing? The answer varies for almost every single being.
According to my religion, if I’m living righteously, if I desire righteous things, then what is in my heart is right. What is good for me is right.
We are not here to live for other people. We’re here, in the end, to find who we are as individuals, to recognize our decisions and why we’ve made them. We are here to reach happiness. Each individual level. It doesn’t matter if someone else might think you’re unhappy. If you’re doing the right thing, and you know it in your heart, know it with all you are that it’s what makes you happy, then go after it! There’s no sense in passing up an opportunity to learn and grow. At some point, you’ll have to say goodbye to those people who seek to control you’re every move, no matter how much comfort you find in that. The second you learn to let go you’ll learn so much, and you’ll learn even more when the other side learns to say goodbye.
But as for me and my story?
I’m still here waiting for the other end.
Who knows, maybe the time when they realize that I’m fine will come sooner than I think.
