Contemplation

Different kinds of people…

I’m just in the thinking mood to look deep enough into personality differences. People indeed have their own minds and we all differ in so many ways.

Am I the only one who takes 10 minutes of her time to even ponder about these things?

I’ve always been convinced that no two persons are alike. Not even identical twins.

There are people who just don’t seem to care about anything but themselves, their own, what’s good for them and their loved ones. You can see it in their eyes. You can feel it. When you talk to them and they give you that “I care” look but everything else is just so shallow. You will know when they just listen by ear or if they do listen by heart. You can tell it.

There are just people you can’t seem to make any connection to. Sometimes you find yourself in the same page with them, but sometimes there are just things they seem to have no idea about. To you they may be illiterate, but I think it’s a part of the so-called difference. They may know some facts you don’t. Would you call yourself ignorant then?

Some people find contentment in one corner, while there are others who push to explore for more. Some believe in the impossible, others don’t want to waste their time.  We all have different views and limitations, different goals and plans, different wants and needs, cries and routines, joys and favorites. We all have different thinking capabilities and personalities, different physical features, different fears and frustrations, skills and talents, styles and ideas.

On top of that, there’s the good, the bad, and the safe-players. How do you know which character you are?

Well this has really got into my curiosity. If you seem to have troubles identifying yourself, it could be serious problem. If you always go with the majority, it’s lack of character.

In this earth, there are smart people. Then there are the smarter ones. And they would say there’s the smartest. How do you know he’s the smartest among all? Same thing goes with all other things. And in my mind right now they are rumbled.

Some people pretend to be what they’re not to be accepted. This makes me wonder how we humans measure who is worth accepting or not in the society. There is but a small number of minds that are open enough to understand that this is a world of different kinds of people. That you may have to put yourself in another’s shoe before you can judge. And that sometimes you may have to be able to view the other side of the story to discover beyond what you already know.

With all the differences we find ourselves in conflict with others. There are minds that will close to disliking, but there are minds that will insist to discovering new figures that might even change their own curious little self. It is common that there are people who we simply just don’t like, regardless of what he or she has done or if he or she has even done something hateful. You simply just don’t click. I think that it doesn’t always mean you are different. It could also be that you are actually alike, and this fact alone had caused a spark.

Well we are not only talking about personalities, there is the difference in languages we speak, traditions and cultures, races and lifestyles, and means for survival in the tough walk of life. One must require the desire to understand where each of us is coming from; the passion to learn different things which will come naturally in the hearts of the kind. One must be willing to accept harsh judgments as part of the great deal.

Well maybe it has to be like it is to keep it all balanced. Maybe I should contemplate next on how I would deal with these differences myself…
