The Divine vs Reality
I feel it is necessary first of to state that I am not in fact “Mother Teresa” or the reincarnation of “Jesus”. I did not at all use the words but rather stated a fact about myself that my absolute truth is that when others talk to me I do not feel compelled to talk about myself. I do not even think about what I want to say to them unless it is a friend who I am quite comfortable with. I am content with listening to others without revealing my thoughts or impressions. Instead I listen carefully to what someone has to say to me as they feel it is of utmost importance. I listen not to gain a boost to my ego, but rather, I do it because I am just a humble optimist readily willing to listen to anyone who wants to talk to me. I guess people just are not familiar with the terms kindness and humility; but, it is not my problem that everyone believes they are inherently selfish. Maybe thats the problem with this world. It is possible that a shift of perspective and loss of selfishness could benefit this world for the better. I do not feel as if I am better than anyone else. I am who I am and am confident in what makes me Ari and do not need anyone else to tell me otherwise. Others can go on as they please but this is just my vantage point on a subject which I find to quite interesting,
