we can beat them
Bummed out is the mood for the day. I had a harsh reality check, and it wasn't even really caused by anything. I guess it's just been building for so long that it had to surface at some point.
Well, surface it did. It wasn't one of those 'knock me over' blows, but I almost stopped in the middle of the sidewalk in shock when my head said to me, "maybe you're the one that's wrong." Wow. And I think that it's half right.
For the longest time, I've allways told myself that there is only one right answer to just about every question or issue. So I figured that once I found that right answer to the question, that I would be able to enlighten others, and they'd have to see that it was correct since nothing else is. Makes sense, right?
Nope. Just because I have a strong opinion about something doesn't make it the ultimate answer. I thtink it took me way too long to figure this out. Now It just has to sink in. Till it does, I feel sorry for those around me. Lately there's been a lot of these issues that I have tried to force onto people, wondering why they don't understand it my way. My God, I'm an arrogant, opinionated prick. This is terrible. No wonder I'm so bummed out.
PS: the reason I think that it's only half right is because I'm trying to get away from 'ultimate' thinking. I'm starting to realize that nothing is totally right and likewise nothings totally wrong. This is insane.
