We as humans are sometimes awkward and flawed. We tend to do and say awkward things.

It’s impossible to be perfect all the time.

The idea of perfection doesn’t exist even in fairytales, in this generation.

We’ve come a long way.

So the point I’m trying to make is that,

Sometimes, we need to cut some slack and allow awkwardness to exist.

Also, choose our battles.

Depending on the hurt and suffering.

If it can be overlooked and ignored. Why can’t we, you know?

If it’s harmless. How does it even matter?

Also,

Most of the actions of people who cause the hurt is driven on misunderstandings.

All of us have different upbringing and backgrounds.

We like different things, we consume different contents, we socialize in different communities and societies.

There will be times when we don’t “get” each other, considering these factors.

So instead of acting on the misunderstanding.

It would do the world so much good if we could be curious instead.

There is literally so many things that comes into the picture because sometimes people also lack the ability to comprehend simple sentences and actions.

I have noticed that people tend to act instantaneously based on their interpretation of an event and get hyped up in the heat of the moment.

And the message kinda gets lost in the wildfire, misunderstood, misinterpreted, miscommunicated and it becomes a big blunder.

Later, after everyone cools down.

The person who was misunderstood becomes Cassandra.

Also,

People’s insecurities gets added into the message and the whole thing gets cooked and turns into a pot of biryani.

Hence clarification, being curious and reasoning can help here.

Thinking things through from different perspectives, POVs and seeing it from a bigger picture also helps.

When the message isn’t going through,

Saying it differently by giving examples and making it as simple as ABCD and using metaphors and analogies works wonders.

We are existing on this tiny planet in this humongous universe which is limitless and beyond our imagination.

All of us are just doing our best in whatever situation we are existing in with whatever resources are available to us.

Let’s all just exist peacefully and make the best of the information at hand and each day.

Try our best to find out more about things we aren’t certain about.

And not cause any harm which is irreversible.

And live as long as possible.

No one knows what comes after this or why we are here on this planet.

So as long as we are here, just try to exist peacefully, you know?

….

Also, I’ve noticed that people have so many emotions.

There is this whole range of emotions that exist inside everyone.

And people tend to act upon it without thinking things through and just stopping for a second to reason with what happened.

Another thing that I’ve noticed is that,

After they act upon that emotion, they tend to repent and feel guilty. Sometimes they carry it throughout their lives.

A minute of better judgement before acting on an emotion and thinking about the consequences can avoid the casualties.

Sometimes the repercussions of someone’s action is beyond what we can imagine.

I have faced the consequences of what someone did a decade ago for a decade.

So yeah.

Just think things through, pick at it in your mind.

Integrity, empathy, kindness, peace, love and so on should be the core inbuilt value.

Sometimes even if you do fuck up. It’s literally okay to say yeah I did this thing and I fucked up.

Your integrity will be valued and maybe whatever happened would not even be considered as a problem.
