The moment life changed me

Perspective is not permanent but scars are

Times are changing. Loosely so am I. With a clock ticking to a finite end it brings with it a rush of anxiety. If you know your clock will end would you change a second of your life? Would you start treating people differently? Here is where my perspective took a giant ax to average.

Average in my perspective is a twisted idea. It is the people who host conversations about nothing. They tend to discuss about nothing, create drama over nothing, and get super stuck into problems about nothing. Nothing is essentially nothing. You will never gain nor lose if nothing is the ultimate goal in your life.

Upon that realization it dawned on me that drinking my life away is no the way to go. Going out to parties is nice and all but I like to keep my friends slimmed down to the amount of one hand. Less drama. Less arguments. I don’t desire to fit in. What changed me from being a follower into a lone wolf you ask?

“Some people can’t believe in themselves until someone else believes in them first.”

Its my internal desire to succeed. If I was bred like everyone else my success rate would be brought down to fifty percent. I would hold a fifty percent chance at succeeding over the average person. In fact, if I surrounded myself with average people the chances of me falling to their level would be minty percent. So, what made me not want to be that way? Like the crowd.

Being an outsider means playing by your own rules. Your own leg to stand on. No one else has a say in what you do but you. Its like you walk outside and there is no voice but your own telling you what to do. No decisions made by others and no reason to doubt yourself. A person’s mind plays trick on itself. It will build yourself into your own worst enemy.

Society likes those who conform to their ways. Its why most high paying salary jobs are cooperate related. Its why college is funded to lead you into said cooperate jobs, and why cities are tailored around corporations. They want is to be fat goons that don’t have an intelligence higher than a duck. (No offense duckee.)

A person’s perspective changes when events cause a catastrophic brain change. The realization falls into two categories; pain, or progress. You are either in pain or progressing in your life. The two can come hand in hand. But for the most part perspective changes are due to only these two. Our perception is hard to change. Its why Nazi fascist people tend to stick to their guns, and beliefs. Or why racists have a hard time accepting the idea of non-racism. It stems from the fact that they have either never felt pain through this perspective or are progressing in life fine without the change.

People are lazy. Its inhabitant of the way our world works. We want everything to be quick and easy. Convenient to our needs. But the best things come at a price and so does our perspective. Open minds are the key to resilience. They are the reason the world is changing vapidly fast into accepting what it normally doesn’t.

For example- Gay marriage is legal in most states of America. Only most but its progress. Just as well certain values are being eradicated from the way of America such as gender biases and certain expectations as parents. Either way perspectives are changing due to drastic change in the form of progress and pain.

Nothing comes with a cost. But if you want change it does. I had a perceptive in the past that evil only happens to evil people. It was one of my firm beliefs that those that are evil get punished. One day I lost a close friend to a heroine addiction. I thought only evil people do that. I was wrong. Evil can happen to good people. Its not that it chooses evil people. Good people can make destructible decisions in weakness.

This perspective changed me to treat people with more kindness than I ever could treat myself. When I can and if I can I do my best to pressure kindness with people. Kindness above all else is what I put my beliefs in. It does not do well to be mean to a stranger ever or for any reason.
