Sometimes, you can't avoid disappointment

I wonder why some people never cease to disappoint you. No matter how hard you try to cut them some slack, truth is, their spiteful words affect you, hurt you and stay with you for a long time. They taint your soul and cloud your day. And while the other doesn't even give a damn ... your mind races endlessly, obsessing over that meaningless word, again and again like a broken record.

And the worst of all...having to hear the gossip through the grape vine, and not being able to fight back.

Truth is, there will always be something people will complain about, and well, many times that may be something you've done. You have to accept that some people always look around to find somebody to blame, to point the finger at, to accuse and complain about out...and that is simply because it is easier than accepting your own faults.

Being less judgemental and putting yourself in the other one's shoes from time to time could be a start to becoming a better person. That is, as long as you think or feel there is something to improve about yourself. As long as you posses the humbleness one needs to see and acknowledge your faults and replace them with more beautiful and noble qualities.

In the end, we all strive to become better, more tolerant. Or at least, we all should aim for this. For some of us, this is the very meaning of our existence, our journey through life. For others, indulging in selfishness, throwing dirt in somebody's face and many times behind their backs, are the very definition of their existence. And they thrive on it.

  1. true, in this fast paced life racing to nowhere, many a person cease to remain human inside and become nothing more than hungry selfish animals. It first happened in the 80s :). Don't pay too much attention to these wordly valueless moments. Or as somebody else says it "Ignore the ignorant" (The Cribbs' album title). Stay high and cut lose the causes for your dissapointment; this can seem a bit more complicated than it actually is. You just need to DO IT!
