There have been a plethora of instances where perceptions have failed, where basic understanding begins, Here is a blog that would explain a transparent view and an opinion on a humble behavior . We as humans have always savored ego, pride, for a mere fact that we tend to feel we are better than a few. We on a lot of cases tend to play god.

Its control that we seek.  This blog goes out to those readers who have mailed me a million times asking me to help explain why do loved ones, those who consists of primarily friends take simple plain goodness for granted. I have not replied to most of most you, for a fact, because I needed to talk to ya’ll and understand your perception and gather view points, and having done that, and after looking at surroundings from where I come, from among the people I know, at a personal level, work, acquaintances, etc. I have an unbiased opinion to share.

Power is something we all have a fetish for, attention, and the feeling of being wanted. Some people tend to deliberately tend of possess control over various individuals,  it makes them feel good, it keeps their ego’s at bay, and pride intact. So to feel like “Thor” is a blessing and Godliness a part of so called self-declaration. This to me is patting one’s own back. This is a behavior pattern; I’d name identity crisis and a mental phenomenon that points towards profound insecurity.

Now if you’ll ask what insecurity? The answer is, fear to fail, fear lose out on popularity charts and the attention seeking syndrome. So they do what it takes to stand out. It’s just not their fault, I would also say that it’s the surroundings that make them what they are, because no one would have the heart to defy their moments of pride and utmost contempt. For a fact that they might just get offended, because for sure, their logic is meaningless, their thought process is conservative and they are empty up there as far as reasoning is concerned.

I shall hit you up on an example; I have this friend who is a very nice, an amazing person, and a very hard working human being. He had his worst moments, subject to his own vices, but then again he overcame them, started to do well, so well that he gave into pride, for his own work. Today everyone does well; everyone does what they have to do, for their families, their loved ones and for themselves.  Seldom can anyone satisfy everyone, and that’s because everyone has their own limitations. No one is born with a silver spoon or the golden god damn touch.

I do not judge people, but there are a lot of us out there who judge people because their tastes and preferences are quite different form our own. We fail to see where they come from, we are quick to pass judgments and condemn them because they are not like us. This behavior I would consider as profoundly ignorant, and deliberately being stupid.

A lot of us come from various bagrounds, our surroundings are different, hence what seems normal to me might just give you a culture shock and vice versa. This I learnt and realized when one day a group of friends and I gathered one evening, and one of my friends started to pride himself upon his work, which I am really happy and proud for him, he is doing great. Now with that leverage he starts to play Judge, and he goes on randomly judging everyone, for who we were and what we are, pointing to himself to be the best, and a god amongst every human alive on this planet.

Here comes a moment where I learnt something important, where humility and pride collide. This good friend of mine starts going on a comparison rampage he versus all of us present there, and he being the best amongst us, despite his hard, profoundly perilous life, steaming with his addictive vices, and how he overcame them. So here goes.

I am not perfect and no one really is, we all have our share of moments we are not proud of. This good friend does a great job, bringing them out and showcasing them to the world picturing him, and concluding he is the best. We were having discussions on drinking alcohol, he said to me he never drinks with his dad, and that makes his dad proud, which is great. But he did condemn us for drinking with our family, because he did not approve of it, and gave us a lot of lame info. On how disrespectful we are being. Towards our family.

This just blew my mind away, later he starts judging others, another friend’s family. Why because they love their booze, and they can’t handle it, “that’s their problem” I said, who are we to judge. They show no class as they used to be at one point high society, and now they are looked down upon. Is anyone thinking here??? I was seething with fury…. Who is he to judge anyone? Like I said we all have our vices.

If a family loves to drink, loves to smoke, enjoy and have a good time together, it’s a blessing I would say, no dis respect, but just because he feels it is disrespectful, and shares his opinion, bad influence I would say. I know most of you will have an opinion to share, and by all means please do.

I want to tell you all, that we are not here to judge people, if they are bad they just are, if they are good, that’s great. We need to understand that everyone comes from various bagrounds and surroundings, we must respect that, we must learn to adapt and get along. As long as we all have a good heart, we do good, who cares what the so called self-proclaimed gods think? Don’t give a damn, coz an argument with such fools will lead to an unjustified confrontation.

If people are conservative, speak your mind let them know your point of view, and give it a rest. Some will keep barking, and we don’t have a gun J
