What is psychology, really? Can we actually break the study of people down into a specific science? I don't think it's possible. Sure, we can get close, and we can categorize everything someone does, but not really. "I want to be a psychologist, so that I can always know what people are thinking." Oh, do you? If you always know how people are going to react, what does that make you? " I am omnipotent.... Maybe I am God." Okay, so if you're God, what does that make me? Am I a god too? No. You can't be an omnipotent God, if there's another one around. It just doesn't work that way. And then, if you happen to be that one God, how were you chosen, and better yet, why am I driving you home?
I told him he should write a book. This friend of mine believes that life is simply to exist. There's no purpose, just existence. Atleast, so he says. And I'm baffled. I have no idea how one arrives at that conclusion. I don't know what to think about this particular individual. I've never met someone who confused me so much. I gave him a ride home, and he says that I am an extremely kind person. I told him it was no big deal, I was just being normal. He said that what I am doing is not normal, and I said, "well, it's normal for me..." Because it is. He again said that I was a kind person. And then proceeded to tell me that he was not a kind person, even when he comes off as one. I said "you're both. You come off as kind and not at the same time, and it's interesting." He truly does too, and I'm not sure how to take it.
My instinct is always to trust the good that I see in people. It's there, it has to be part of their decisions somehow. But some part of me also doubts every good thing I ever see. Everyone has some ulterior motive, right? I didn't give him a ride home simply because it was the nice thing to do, I wanted something? I just might not know what I want, yet. But in that situation, I don't think I have other intentions, so I have to think that this psychological thinking doesn't always apply, and then I've proved my original point. It's not a very scientific example, but it works, yeah?
I don't know what I'm talking about anymore, but I'm extremely fascinated and interested in the thought process that this comes from. I know that I do not just simply exist, I am here for so many more reasons, even if I don't know what they all are. I do know, that one is to love people and be there for the ones in my life. And therefore, my life is not just a pure existence. Interesting, how "you're so kind." and "I just exist, there is no purpose" happened in the same conversation.
After all of this is gone, who would you rather be?
Peace, love, and way more than just existing,
