Some people put their efforts into changing themselves thinking it will bring them contentment.
Some people put their efforts into trying to be content in what they already are. I'm not sure which is the better strategy. I don't believe anyone is truly content though. Everyone is either trying to be something different, or trying to accept who they already are.

We see children and retarded people able to enjoy life on such a basic level. I think we all wish we could enjoy life on such a basic level. But we don't have that luxury, able-bodied adults have a greater responsibility so that children can just enjoy life. It does seem like childhood is the best time in life, and unfortunately we were too stupid to really appreciate it. In life, the more you learn, the more you know, the more you realize, you realize how little you know, and how little everyone else knows, and how utterly ****ing clueless we are as a species. we all wish to be children again.

It's a vicious cycle. You spend the majority of your younger years wanting to be older, then when your older and can be independent you yearn for your childhood back.
The grass is always greener. |

...hmmm, I'm not sure that I've ever been at a stage in my life when I've wanted to be younger, Marsh...it's not that I haven't enjoyed each stage/age but I've never 'yearned' for them back again...

If i could do it all again, knowing what i know now... things would be so different.
That's what we all say. I wish reincarnation was real if I could do it again. If I could be myself all over again, I'd do it so much better.

..the beauty of hindsight...but we were meant to make mistakes as well, Alex..it's all a balance, if we did everything right all the time, then we wouldn't really have any 'substance' because we learn so much from our 'mistakes' and we carry those lessons through to the future...obviously, we can never change the past, so any time regretting anything is pointless energy..but what we can do is to assess our present and look at anything that we feel we can change about it, to make our future more what we won't have 'regrets' about...if we decide on any changes though, they should always be achievable and maybe just 'step by step' things..I think that maybe when people set very high 'goals', they're subconsciously setting themselves up for failure because they don't really believe in themselves...that's not always the case obviously, but it often is....

for any goal, it's important to start now. One year from now, you will either be one year closer or one year farther from your goals. there's no reason to wait. but we like to imagine that in an alternate universe we would do things differently, but we probably wouldn't. ...Even if we were reincarnated as ourselves, we'd probably do things exactly the same way again, because we'd still be ourselves. It's funny how we all have a fantasy of what we should be, even though we already are exactly what we should be, we created ourselves, every bit of ourselves, but we can't take accountability for it. Everyone i've ever met thinks they are a victim in some way or another. No one thinks that who and what they are is who they really are, they all think they could be better. everyone is a victim

sorry for adding, you know i can't ever post without a few edits lol.
i agree that children are innocent, but it's impossible to have a good childhood when the people providing that childhood were also damaged, so we can go back through the sands of times to find blame, how can we claim victimhood when you can;t find the original evil? it's hard to claim to be a victim when the people who victimized you are also victims. so i think victimhood is a useless idea. it's useless to blame damage on people who are even more damaged. it's like a very dark grey(so dark grey that it's almost black) pot calling the kettle black.

..hmmmmm, do you think they're all 'damaged' though..maybe some just make bad choices and then if they have children, their children sometimes become 'victims' of their bad choices...?...

so who was the original abuser? you can go back centuries to try to find him/her. if you are religious, you might have to say the original abuser was God. the blame game can be played forever. and only God is forever. God started it all. if you think there is one. That's why i don't believe in God, because if there was a God, he's an asshole for starting this. I certainly wouldn't praise him for creating this mess. There is no glory in what he's done if he does exist. If there is a God he owes us all an apology.

I just feel 100% American to be honest. ![]() I don't feel any real connection to Ireland or Italy just because a genetic test said that that's where my biological ancestors came from. I thought i would, but i don't. If ireland or italy ever started **** with the USA, i know which side i'd be on. no doubt in my mind. i feel no connection or loyalty based on my ethnicity at all. I was born on American land and that makes me 100% American as far as i'm concerned.
