Trying to be happy.

Why is it so easy for us to criticize people we don't know or, even worse, to judge anyone because we believe we have the right to judge people.

We criticize everything we don't like, everything that is different from us. If it’s fat, if it’s skinny, if it’s old, if it’s young and much more when it comes to colors. If it is red, yellow, black or I don't know how many other things.

We can never be an advanced society unless we come to our senses and stop being so selective and exclusionary according to our closed mindset.

The best way I have been able to find to live in peace is to let people be the way they are. Sometimes they seem strange to us in the way they behave but that does not detract from their importance as human beings.

We came into this world to be happy; this means that we must find our best way to get through difficult situations, learn from them and move on. Allowing other people to do with their lives what they can do best, of course I start from the idea that these people who turn away because they think they are different from others do not try to force everyone to be the same as them.

Because then we will be the same as most people, trying to judge, trying to change the world and that we all have the same thought.

That cannot be. Everyone has their own crystal of vision to evaluate their existence and to try to live life in the best possible way, without having to go through the judgment detectors that do not respect the forms, ideas and beliefs of others.

I know it’s impossible to achieve because we live in a world that has many prejudices, that want to have the power of truth in their hands and want everyone to manage their life as those who have the power want it. I believe that people who are introverted, maybe not one hundred percent, but we feel at peace separated from the great masses that try to control everything.

There is a song that I used to sing when I was a little girl and it said... "I would like to be civilized like the animals" It referred to all animals, they give us many lessons on how to behave in a community and with others.

Most people feel good when they belong to groups and are supported by them. I prefer not to belong to anyone and not to be controlled by anyone. I’m not interested in the judgment of others because I learned to live on my own merits. I learned from a young age that if I worked hard, I could get what I wanted, that I should not be waiting to be approved or disapproved to be a person at peace with myself.

This is me, the plant lady or cat lady, whatever you want to call me. I don't judge or care if they judge me. I try to live in peace with the majority around me and if I can't, then with the minority, but I like to be at peace. I try to be happy in the way I know how, I hope you too can find your balance to be able to live without prejudice with others.

Thank you for your comments and visits as always.
