10: Odd Days Both Ways

I don't know where to start with this one. It's blogs like this that I'm glad that my group of followers is small. I've learned more about myself recently. I'm a phlegmatic, for one. I mean, how else can you explain my lack of conflict with others? At least a self proclaimed one. I've also learned that you can make judgments about people without condemning them. I think this is very important. I think my natural curiosity and desire to learn about people and why they are the way they are is one of the reasons I want to join the BAU. Plus my insatiable desire for justice. >_>

To get to the point though, I find the lack of tolerance in other people so intense, it can makes me sick. We all have problems, we all have faults. What makes one person worse than another? My ego must be very fuzzy, because people love to pet it. With that said, I still see my own sins and evil habits. I'm not saying I'm humble. I'm far from it. I'm a very proud person, actually. My introversion works to my advantage, I guess. What am I saying? Oh right. I think one of the greatest problems with my generation is the need to be who society expects us to be. This opinion originated from "Do Hard Things", a book I read last summer. I didn't realize what an impact it had on me until I started having thoughts similar to its teaching completely void of inspiration. What I'm saying though is that this general belief in what a teenager is makes us separate into categories and anyone who isn't like us doesn't fit. Even people who have an array of different kinds of friends still do this. If someone's intelligence level is a little lower than yours, it doesn't make you better than them. If someone's not as creative as you, it doesn't make you better than them (one of my own faults). If someone's pain endurance isn't as high as yours, it doesn't make you better than them. It's an elementary idea, but it's so relevant. People seem to forget it so easily.
