These past days and months, I've been isolating myself from the world, with occasional going out whenever it’s necessary. During these times, I gain more understanding of people, more than I want to. And I ain't liking it a single bit.
Why?
Because understanding people requires you to sacrifice yourself, though you don't want to. By understanding them, you're making yourself funeral to their pain, their struggle. And that ain't a pretty picture, I tell ya.
People are made in this dull world to make it colorful. You might find an innocent and yet later you find them the complete opposite. And you don't understand what makes them like that. Or why bad people are bad.
I myself find a simple reason for that. It's in their past. It's in their background. It's in their surroundings. You see, bird of the same feather flocks together. Have you ever see ducks mingling with.. let's say... peacock? No, right? It's because their environment banned them to be together.
Don't say anything of trying to 'understand' someone if you don't want to accept their 'shadow'. If you only wanna acept their goodness or them in the light and refusing their shadow, you'll end up hurting them without you knowing it. Why? Because there is nothing in this world that has no shadow. In fact, it's already in a package ever since it's created, whatever it is.
But the most important thing in accepting people is that you have to accept yourself with whatever you have, whether you like it or not. If you still hiding behind a mask, then you haven't accept the dark side of yourself, thus you won't be able to understand fully about people.
So, are you ready to make a next step in your relationship with people?
Cheers and Shine,
Shinta
