It seems to me that we go the same places we've been before, make the same mistakes as in our past and fall for the same people again and again. And, of course, again. I could think of two labels for this. One being comfort zone. The other, habit.

I think it's sad that people don't as a rule think the right amount. I mean, we either think too much or not enough. I wish more thought went into every decision, because, as much as we'd like to convince ourselves that we're doing the right thing, not hurting anyone, that's a lie. I don't feel bad for myself, no, this is not about me; I feel bad for the people that your actions hurt, the people who you are too blind to see. I'm not going to call you selfish, because selfish implies consciousness of behaviour. I don't think that you, or people like you, are aware of what you're doing and do it for that reason. No, I think that that's just who you are.

That's why I wish people would think about people other than themselves. Or maybe, they do think about other people, but assume things. It would be nice, though, to not do things for ourselves simply because we have the upper hand, knowing what we, ourselves alone are thinking. I can't read minds, and I don't know of anyone who can. So before we make decisions, THINK.

Is it really so hard?
