Going against those we don't like
This book really makes me notice things about myself that I really, maybe superficially, did not notice before. Like, they were things I knew I did... but really did not give them much importance. For example, going against everything someone says simply because that person pisses me off. I am a very straight person, so I make it really obvious when I do not like someone, but I did not think of it that way. When Alexa said she goes against everything that girls says because she does not like her, it is so true that that happens. Like I was just thinking about it, and for example, whenever I am mad at someone, nothing they say, literally NOTHING, seems right to me -- even if it is, I will still go against it just because I am against that person in that moment. This book, as we were discussing its importance at the end of class, it really makes me realize small things about myself that I really did not pay attention to before so in a way it is changing my life because it is changing my thinking. It makes you more aware of things that really, if taken more care of, can make you a better person. For example, not going against everything someone I do not like tells me, will make me a better person and eliminate karma!!
