More or less, I have figured out the root of most problems, which could possibly indirectly or directly include every single problem. Today, I discovered another thing. More or less, I have begun speculations on a new findings that one of the most important things, or possibly like top two or three important things in life is the ability to differentiate. It is not a problem to deal with per se, nor is it a trait that we all lack.
Differentiation is just able to tell the difference between this thing and that thing, if both were to be called things. You can be who you are, but you definitely cannot treat one the same as the other. The ability to mark your own line to where you stand is extremely vital. How far before this becomes that? At what limit does a border break?
Questions such as these more or less apply everywhere. Homework and play, friendship and relationship, true and artificial, lies and truth, for self for another, to hold on to let go, to know to ignore, to pretend for real and the list can continuously expand.
Up to where do you follow the crowd, up to where does being you will be you, up to where will your work be what is original. At where are you a friend, and at which point will you be a burden?
Differentiation I guess, can be said to be choices. But picking an option is always easier than figuring out why the other is better.
Whether or not I make sense is my problem. But I guess I am typing all these out because I am missing this in my life. I need to start making borders, making walls, making limits to myself, because in a world we live in, the straight shots are the one that miss their targets first. I do hope that that won't cut myself from the world.
But if I were to be able to find priorities and start preventing problems, I need to know where to draw the line and I need to know exactly where would that fine thin line which we step over so many times be.
But differentiation would be as good as saying being someone you are because of the scenario. However who you are is not a problem. It is always how you perceive things that which becomes a problem.
Differentiation applies to everything. But for me, I got to stop crossing that line.
~People are different. They're all not the same. Even if they miss their target more often, somehow, I feel better with people who are straight shots. People who curve suddenly when you change your angle of look are... pretty special.
