Why the need to justify?
Why the need to make sense of your actions when each view things differently, do we find reasons so that others may agree with us or are we trying to find a reason to agree with ourselves.
Day in day out, we face personal conflicts, even when others deem our actions perfectly normal, we still find the need to make ourselves agree, either through other’s acceptance or through much reasoning to come to agreement with ourselves. Perhaps it’s not others that need convincing, but ourselves, we are our greatest critics.
Perhaps it’s the do’s and do not’s we imposed on others in the name of righteousness that in a way we have to live by our own rules. Maybe if we could be kind to others, we could be kind to ourselves.
Over the years, I’ve came to realise that there is no right or wrong to any action, human generally term what is wrong when they are placed at a disadvantageous situation, but if the table were turn and they stand to gain from someone else’s losses, how do anyone justify that.
From experience, usually they don’t, they just keep quiet and get by.
We are all made different and being different we had different ideas to life, thus why impose on others to follow one’s idea just because one needs to justify one’s action?
Be kind to yourself and you will be kind to others, be kind to others and you will be kind to yourself.
You will see that your wish to be happy is shared by others as well, just that our idea of happiness is different.
Thus i will never restrict my own happiness and i will not restrict other’s as well.
In the end, let us ask ourselves this question, what’s so “right” when what's "right" doesn’t make oneself happy. So does that make being unhappy “right”?
Therefore even if i do not share someone’s view i will not stop them from doing what his or her heart desire, because i will not hold back on something just because someone doesn’t agree with me. We are all responsible for our own happiness.
No one can stop u from doing what that makes u happy, only u can.
Haha... Well, nothing significant, it’s just one of those self pondering day. Putting life into perspective once again.
Now in Joburg, 6 hours difference, day 2, and counting down. Hiak hiak...
