Sympathy belongs to those who deserve it

tealightsI’m a sympathetic and an empathic person. I can put myself in someone else’s shoes but also be there for a person who has problems in their lives. Especially when it’s about death since I’ve experienced it at a very young age. I can watch death in movies but when it comes to real life I really feel for people who have lost a loved one. I even feel sympathy for those families who have lost one to suicide. It’s a selfish act but I’m not upset at the one who’s done it. Maybe they just didn’t find a better solution. There are so many things in the world you don’t know the real answer to. One is why some people do awful things to other human beings.

I feel no sympathy for criminals. Everyone has their own sad stories. Blaming their childhood on their criminal minds is pathetic. Not everyone becomes criminals because their lives were awful. Then there are people who have been bullied and they start shooting or stabbing their class mates. What’s the point in that? People will only see them as crazy. Bullies will never feel sympathy to anyone no matter how the bullied will try to harm other people. There are other ways to handle this kind of things.
The same goes with terrorists. They blame others for their mental minds and use religion as their excuse. Like those terrorists who was behind 9/11. Their families were killed so they decided to get back by killing innocent people. What a lame excuse. They’re not the only one who’s lost family members but they just had to a big number of themselves. If no one stops the killing, it will never end. Violence is not the answer to anything.

If there would be more sympathy in the world, there would be fewer problems. But unfortunately, there are people who still resist it. We live in a me, me, world but maybe there’s still hope for man kind. When things are tough, there’s always someone there to help. You just have to find it and even if you don’t, you’ll be surprised how helpful people really can be. Help can be found in the strangest places. You just need to have faith.

I don’t think I’m anything special. I’m a modest person who doesn’t like attention. I get uncomfortable if someone looks at me. Even then when they’re not actually looking at me. I have a lot of confidence issues. You don’t see it on the outside. When I was younger I cared what other thought of me. Now it’s easier but there are still times I feel I’m being judged. I don’t like making eye contact with people when I talk to them. It’s also an introvert thing. No matter how much I am around people, I still will feel weird when I meet new people. A lot of people have tried to change me but I’m always been limited edition and that will never change. There must be a finite somewhere. I won’t try to change anyone so I expect others to do the same.

Everybody should feel they’re limited edition. Sometimes it’s good there’s uniqueness because some people just are too much. A lot of people think they have to be like anyone else to fit it. You don’t need to fit anywhere. Being yourself should be a real trend and not just something you say. Even if people try to be themselves, they still are like everyone else. The society forces you to be the same but we should show it the finger. There’s too much generalising. You should not assume anything. Things are not the way they seem. For example, if someone is dressed in torn clothes, it doesn’t mean it’s a homeless person. Maybe it’s the look they were going for. Maybe it’s a bad example but that’s the only thing I came up with at this point. When people meet me, they assume I’m always quiet. As a child, my class mates thought I was quiet at home too. At home, I could be relaxed and be myself.

Around people, you have to be more discreet. There are things people can’t understand. I don’t show emotion in public because it’s a personal thing. I would be too embarrassed. I wouldn’t even hold hands in public because I dislike attention. I even feel disgusted when couples kiss in public. Especially when you’re in the grocery store and you’re there to buy food. Two people drooling over each other is off putting. It’s not that I’m against people who show emotions but I rather ignore it. If people want to show affections to each other, they should do it at home.
