Challenging life.
"I've missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. Twenty-six times, I've been trusted to take the game-winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed." — Michael Jordan
In many Western cultures we judge someone on their actions and determin how harshly by their motive. Big business aligning themselves with a tragedy happens frequently with relaxed casual connections through social media. Woolworths in Australia aligned themselves with the ANZACs Story here
On the face of it, it does seem to have good intentions, but we need to stop and think. What is there motive? Simple. Traffic, clicks, brand awareness/alignment and of course profit. There is not one business out there that does good just because. If they did, we would not hear about it, and if they did, it wouldn't be the business but the people in it doing it individually. I don't care how amazing their marketing department is... Any tragedy that no one asked their opinion on, yet gives it anyway is all about money.... Shame... For Shame.
Maybe it's not 'being confident' but what being confident brings that makes it important.
When it comes to seduction, it seems one of the most potent forces is the allure of the unknown.
Every petal peeled off the rose while saying, "He loves me, he loves me not..." is a step closer to attraction.
When people say 'we are all equal' do they really mean it? Even the most 'open minded' seem to change their stance when 'narrow minded' people do or say something 'closed' or 'misinformed'. So, if they aren't open minded, they are wrong and less equal than the person that strives for equality?
The amount of hate that incites the most horrific violence I've seen for people like a child molester or a kidnapper ... These are bad things, very bad, but to wish these people tortured to death? So everyone's equal until we do something perceived to be bad by someone, then we are no longer equal? Who gets to decide this sliding scale? How do we decide where to draw the line where you 'lose your right to be equal'?
So are we only equal when we are the same as the person creating the 'equals' parameters?
"I'll take what you give me."
What do we 'give' people? Do we realise it? Would it explain why you have the same problems with people? Would it explain why your relationships have the same patterns? Would it explain things you've never been able to explain?
We never truly understand what's going on in someone's head, never assume you have someone all figured out, we all are capable of being anyone or anything at any time, for good or for bad.
