Drama.
It happens.
Sadly, it happens to some more than others. Some will it upon themselves intentionally, while others wind up being drawn into it against their will. Some enjoy it as a means to be entertained, while others will go out of their way to avoid people who seem to have an aura of drama surrounding them.
For me...drama irritates me. I don't look lowly upon anyone involved in drama...if anything I feel sorry for the people involved, even if they could care less HOW I feel about them and their dramatic situation/scenario. I don't even have to be a part of it and it irks me...because I know that drama can be avoided with a change of perspective/how you handle scenario's that displease you to the point of anger.
I guess I just can't see the sense in it...to make things so absurdly sensational over nothing of real long term significance.
But it's unfair of me to expect others to deal with hurt or stress the way I do...I'm still bloody well learning how to adapt to my own situations without allowing it to cause me unnecesary grief/stress/drama...my "don't sweat the small stuff" attitude may not be so easily adapted by everyone else.
I just wish it WAS easy...like that damn 'easy button' from the Staples commercial...one press and voila, instant calm and harmony...no more verbal pissing contests to see who will be the ultimate victor...no more defensive/aggressive jabs where nothing gets through to one another...just...rational calm talks...civil debates...understanding...compassion...and forgiveness.
If only life were so convienent eh? I guess I'm just frustrated by my inability to convince others that we have the power to chose a peaceful resolution instead of resorting to an all out hate fest. But I realize it's not my position to stop people from doing things the way they want to do them...all I can do is sigh and hope that future arguments cause less stress upon everyone involved...for their sakes.
It's at times like these...where I really appreciate the song "Imagine" by John Lennon.
"IMAGINE"
Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

Mm, you post opened up a new perspective for me, and I'm glad I waited til now to hear it.
To be honest, I had always wondered why you got so worked up over other people's issues, and yet said you really dislike drama.
But now I know why, and your post gave me a sense of deja vu. It reminded me of a reading I once got from a psychic a long time ago. I still think of it now at times, when I'm feel frustrated at the actions of others.
"Providing guidance is one thing, to show someone how you feel things should be. But if you allow yourself to be frustrated and anxious because you are let down by other people's behavior, then take a deep breath and focus on YOU, you are the one not learning to let people be. They, like you, will awaken in their own time."
Either way, thanks for the insight into your very complex persona. (:
Thank you for commenting Nada! :'D
Yes I know I can be a complex person to some...but it's never done intentionally. Many do not understand my wanting to BE understanding towards others...they feel that I shouldn't stress myself with other people's burden...but who doesn't need someone who cares for what they go through? To be the one who listens, who cares...granted I do not allow other people's situations affect me as greatly as I once did...that's due to self preservation...I can't heal everyone's hurt or make their situations resolve themselves...but I can show others that no matter what, that they have someone who will hear them out.
