Understanding - An Interminable Gift.. Curse?

I hate Understanding.
You feel the usage.
You feel the rejection.
You feel the taking-for-granted-ness.
You feel the patience running out like gatorade for a marathon runner.

I love this quality otherwise. When you use it for the people around you and then when they return the same, the feeling.. Theres nothng like it.

I love being Understanding.
You feel appreciated.
You feel at peace with the people.
You feel loved and valued.
You feel... Good.

Understanding and being understood. If everyone in the world could do it, we couldve probably been best friends with The American Ex-President or even the sworn enemies of the rest of the world, the terrorists. If we could all just get along and try to "figure" things out maybe then we could achieve 1/10th of the much fabled "World Peace". If we could all just sit, relax and have pleasant conversations with the politicos and over-interfering paparazzi, synthetic-plastic-ated workers of the acting industry and whatever different kinds of people in the world, over a nice hot cup of chocolate.

But this is a dream that will only remain a dream. As long as there are human beings walking around on this planet, strife, corruption, enemity and most of all misconception and misundertsanding is bound to take place. I will never regain certain friendships or relations because of the buggering fact that some asshole took me in the wrong way, had way too much ego to clear it out with me, and started a rampage against me. Tell me this, since "possession of bodies or souls" is not possible, how the HELL do you know what is going on in the other person's head? Where do you get the GALL to assume things about another's intentions or doings?Do you know what is going in that person's head at that given time? NO. Exactly, if you dont bother to find out how in God's name are things to be sorted out? And if you know that person's probably one of the fewest individuals with that kind of understanding how dare you expect everything from one end? And especially when you know eachother since eons and you still get dumped on because of something relevant and life-changing even for the other pserson.
It is irrational, childish, immature, sad, pathetic, gullible, stupid, piteous, juvenile when your 18 years old or above and can still possess the ability to think like an ass. A hind-leg-kicking, lazy, squirming, stubborn "ass".



.. Oh boy, that was way too much emotion overpouring out there. Way too much personal bull. Sorry folks. But thats just the way it is. Poeple dont realize or appreciate the value behind the "understanding". Open you eyes men and women. Obeserve your friends and family. Especially your family. Do you notice how much they really do for you? And what about your friends, havent they done enough? Have you ever thought about them once about what they may be going through about how much they've listeend to you weep and pour your soul out and how many times they've made you laugh or even changed the outlook of your day? Do you think about them when youre not busy wondering about Your crap like shopping or eating or Your schedule, Your work, or whatever? Do you not notice that this extra-elongated, without-many-attractive-letters, 10 letter word UNDERSTAND has a complete power of its own?

You probably think I'm babbling about a whole load of bull. But just stop and think. About your friends, family and those who've stuck by you through the most trying times of your life and who can assess so many problems and help solve them for you, those who have taken your bull and havent complained (much), those who've exercised some small contribution in the kind of person you've become.

So ladies and gentlemen, I hope you "understand" what I'm trying to tell you. Get to know them. Those people who know you for so long. Who give and give and dont expect. Im truly sorry, I mean my heart goes out to those who still read this post and cant figure a fraction of dog poop of this post and what kind of message I am trying to give out. Thats just... Sad, frankly. But then again one's life, one's wish. So try to do this small soemthing, it'll probably do you alot of good. This post wasnt out to make you feel bad or guilty but to let you think. And really realize. Thank you.
