Because there is a reason for everything we do, I fully understand.
In this world, nothing happens without a reason. Even love at first sight is a reason why you love someone. Sometimes, people don't tell others their reasons, in particular to the person who's involved. With that is misunderstandings and wronged feelings, often leading to wrath, jealousy, despair etc.
I know all that, because I did all that. Perhaps I might be someone who never hides anything from anybody but how well do you know me? Maybe there is somethings that I have done for people but never told them? Or perhaps there are reasons to why I behave differently to different people but I never said why?
Of course, I often misunderstand people and pass judgments without thinking much. I offend and hurt people. I get angry, depressed and jealous.
It wasn't until now that I realized that everything happens for a reason. The reason why people don't talk all of a sudden, or why people decided to change their diet, or why people changed their sleeping times, or why people decided to be crazy, or why people decided to love, or why people decided to slap someone in the face... all these are with unexplainable reasons, and we can't guess what the reasons are because we simply are not them.
Sometimes, if we just put ourselves into other people's shoe and think about the situation and anything that happened before, we'd know, why they did certain things. It's hard of course because there's always that "Then what about me?" question going on. But, what if there is also someone else who puts himself into your shoes? Therefore, "Then what about me?" is seriously unnecessary.
Having said that, there are of course the lame reasons, in which some people's reasons for their actions are simply lame and illogical. To me, "I did it for fun." is not really a reason. Hence, we must always think before we leap.
Of course, what are reasons to us might be excuses to others. What might be perfectly fine reasons to us may just hurt that person.
Anyway, think about it, the next time you observe someone not doing what he usually does, ask yourself, "Is there a reason?" Then proceed to analyze and put yourself in his shoes. It won't be long before you realize why he did that certain thing.
Perhaps if I had realized that earlier, everything would be different.
I murmured "The sun's too bright", and hid the tears flowing from eyes.
Listened to music @ 9:11 PM
