Find yourself
By: incredi
Every single person out there has either been afraid or is afraid of reflecting their true nature. What's the most scariest thing, to be unique or not to be, in a modern age?
It can be frightning when it comes to revealing what you stand for or how you feel, and it doesn't matter if you're the bravest person out there - even though your shell reflects self-confidence, your core still has doubt.
Because, what if I'm wrong or what if 75% of everything that leaves my mouth is nonsense and the only reason people agree with me is because I confuse them? People are lazy and among hundred people, you might find a handful who are willing to prove you wrong.
We have two types of people when it comes to "convincing" others. There are those who start off talking about the actual subject and slowly involves other well placed subjects and misguides whomever is listening. Lets say I'm trying to prove that you lied even though you didn't, but instead of staying on the subject, I involve a bunch of logical explanations and I make it sound as if the "explanations" are things I have experienced. I might fool people around us and make them believe you lied but we both know you didn't. This is actually theater, you sound smart and people begin to respect you, even though you are the most advanced lier out there.
Then we have the humble person who doesn't care about the show, the trustworthy human who knows if the logic is sound, the person is right until proven otherwise. And theres no room for convincing for this type of person, why waste time on trying to prove it wrong when there's logic in the explanation from A to Z?
But in order to keep a balance, they both have their advantages and disadvantages. The advanced lier is probably living a fake life and knows it but has respect and no one dears to cross this person. The humble person is living a honest life but is constantly being run over by almost everyone.
Neither way is right and combining them will only confuse you. So what is the right way?
For all I know, there probably isn't a right way to live. What you have is your heart and your mind. Observe them, listen to them and you will know how to live your life. Just make sure logic makes the final decision if you have time to think. But if not, follow your heart.
Don't get mad if your heart takes you south, because theres probably more things to learn when you are in the unknown area of regret rather than where you should've been.
