so today a more serious post...i guess if you read my stuff you know im very fascinated with psychology...people, they way they react, what they say and do and why....
i recently had an experience that made me deepin my thoughts on this very subject....
just because you have experienced more in life....just because you are more "educated"...just because you were given talents or life experience that someone else may not posses which in turn create reactions from others that feed a superficial ego that would other wise NOT be there if you (like them) didn't posses that talent and or experience....
does this make you better??
yes i suppose......but does that give you the right to make someone feel less than you because of this?? or is this instinctive?? do people "mean" to make others feel "less" worthy of their time and presence?? i dont know...or...is it the others insecurity that create this to go on??
i have experienced this over and over on my lifetime....i know for myself...i don't treat people any different...whether you are poor, rich, on the street, funny, talented, not talented, mean, an adult, a child, or otherwise...i feel i try my best to give others the benefit of the doubt...
come to my home (my being)...feel safe....feel welcome....feel.....yourself.....i want you to leave me feeling...like yourself....like you could be yourself...
now don't get me wrong.....i am an Aries after all...i have opinions....and i also "decide" in my life whether you will be someone that sucks the "life" out of me and or those close to me or not....and if you do....i will not to treat you differently (i will choose not to share myself or my energy)...but its not because i think im better...........it would be because your intentions are not genuine...you are fake.......and in my eyes....there is nothing worse than a fake, self righteous human being with ulterior motives...soul suckers as i say....
i love life to the best of my ability.....if there is one thing i have taught my children is this....there is always someone smarter than you, better looking than you, more talented than you, funnier than you...ect....it is a fact of life.....this doesn't meant they are better than you....
i also tell them the same goes for when the tables are turned....if this is you that's on the other end....show them the way....so they feel empowered...for to want another to feel weak.......only makes YOUR weakness stronger....
heavy heavy......tis the mood tonight i guess...
the lighter note next time....

It is some people's defense mechanisms or natural instinct to put others down to make themselves feel better. If they're not the kind to put others down ... they might very well know how to put themselves UP a notch. In grade school, it's amazing how kids find ways to knock others down for their successes. For instance, if a kid is great at math and always gets A's on their tests, others call them "smarty pants" or "teacher's pet" or something that sounds derogatory and makes that kid feel as if they should apologize for doing WELL! It's people like YOU, Miss Karrie ... with the open minds and open hearts that teach others that you get more out of life and can put more into life for recognizing the good and the successful. You also learn from your experiences and derive new action from them ... such as this blog of reflection. I'm rambling now, but I think it's a good point! Love ya, girlie!!
