human tragedy

[Bevvy Swift]

Why is it that we always become the thing we hate the most?

[Gusto]

we don't. that's a tired cliche. maybe you did and some other people, but not everyone.

[Bevvy Swift]

whatever. it sucks anyways.

[Gusto]

yep. so what do you hate?

[Bevvy Swift]

i hate people with big egos who think they can have whatever they want

[ebbomega]

The reason is because that's every single person on the face of the earth.

There are two human tragedies.

One is not getting what you want.
The other is getting it.

hrrmmmm.... interestingly put

its strange because ive seen both extremes..

my life used to be all about "feel sorry for me" "im so dejected" etc. etc.
and now its all "look at me" "im great" and all that

its not like im like that and proud, but sometimes i catch myself being really arrogant, or snobbish or selfish and i cringe because these are the human traits which disgust me the most

We all find attributes of ourselves that we dislike. In fact, I'm willing to bet that it's 99% these attributes that make you dislike the people that you do.

If you have things about yourself that you do like, it's only natural that you'll have things about yourself that you don't. This is the idea behind cosmic balance (tao whut?).

yea ive noticed that i see past incarnations of myself in people i dont like.

I know what your saying, ive always thought of my self as a nice guy who was there for the people he cared about, but when i look back at things and certain things that people that have ment alot to me have said i realize that i have hurt people close to me without even recognizing it....that realization is something that has caused me quite a bit of emotional pain and i dont really know what i can do to prevent it from happening again.

but anyway fuck it,

we should all medicate ourselves on extremely high does of anti-depressants so we dont have to worry about shit anymore....the fact that we are afforded the luxury of being able to be so introspective and self critical reflects on just how good our life is.

Because drugs always make all your problems go away.

You become the one thing you hate most because you have not opened your eyes and seen the oppourtunities you have had to change.

Only when you are comforatble with yourself and all of your own flaws can you only then see others for what they are.

there you go... you didnt have to climb a mountain for that bit of wisdom

[cinist]

it's because you're a dj, a rave dj

[sidekick]

you know what's even more destructive? having a large ego and not knowing that you have a large ego. ego's seem to get in the way more when the people who have them don't realize that they have them.

if you know you have an ego (like everyone does) you can learn to harness it and control it. if you don't know you have it, then it runs wild and grows until it overshadows every other part of your personality.

at least that won't happen to you. unless you let it, of course.

[Bevvy Swift]

i suppose your right

[sidekick]

because, really, everyone has an ego...it's just a matter of controlling it.

[Prissypants]

I think one of the best sayings I've heard to describe this is:" It's hard for me to say what's right when all I wanna do is wrong. "

right, and to not let it run your life or affect your relationships with other people ... let us not be lead to believe a bit of confidence is a bad thing

some people who have egos may also hate themselves at the same time.

[Bitchin]

Granted, I had somethign open my eyes but yeah.
