Life lessons

Most of my life lessons are either very emotionally painful, or expensive. Sometimes God has the mercy to allow me to learn through other people's mistakes. They both work very effectively.

There's this thing about the idealism we have - we view the little things very intensely, get very depressed over how things are not going perfectly, and believe the world is made up of all things good and nice, and a tiny 'vicious mole' that ruins that perfection is blown up into something overwhelmingly disastrous in our minds. Now, we attempt to correct that little flaw and resume perfection and wholesome goodness in the world, and the idealism we have makes us believe things will go the way we want it to. So then we make the biggest mistake ever - assume what we do will help things, or make people feel better.

Sometimes we don't realise that some things will work out on its own, it's okay. Some things aren't as big or disastrous as we make it out to be. It'll be alright.

Everything's a learning experience.
