Perceptions and Assumptions

This is my first entry for the year and as one can infer from this entry that I have been so busy having my date with time that ironically time had robbed me of time for myself. So many things have happened and one can say that I have gained and lost and most of the time left flabbergasted and confused cause things are moving way ahead of me. A mist of this roller coaster ride both physically and emotionally I usually try to find time to analyze what is happening in my life and sometimes it works when you can sit down and talk it out.

I am not at the stage of my life where once again I am involved with so many projects and assignments and not forgetting school that is supposedly my first priority (I usually forget that). It is good to feel the gust of the race but sometimes it can be tiring. Sometimes when I feel so tired and voice it up, people think I am complaining or they ask me why I take on so much things at the same time. However, they don't realise that I am not complaining but actually just thinking aloud and reminding myself that I have certain task to full fill, perhaps the way I express it varies according to the people who hears it.

Talking about perceptions and assumptions, I learned very valuable lessons during the past two months. Sometimes we have a certain perception and assume that the other person knows about it. But the truth is that the other party may not know what you are thinking. A person's thought is very relative and subjective in nature (DUH!!!) but most of the time we make the mistake in certain circumstances to assume the other party knows what you are thinking. Such an assumption is fatal in most circumstances. A person does not know what you are thinking until you tell them what you are thinking. Mostly when you don't tell them what you feel then you will think that the other person is playing mind games when he or she is not reacting to how you expect them to behave. One may think that this is common sensible in nature, but the truth is many of us don't really realise that. We tend to do it over and over again. Sometimes I feel the best way to solve thing is to clarify things but you see another problem that arises is when the other party refuses to clarify because he or she is totally involved in their own world. Trying reasoning out and telling them that they will tell you that you don't understand them and that they are incomprehensible. Trust me that it can be frustrating at times but after a while you learn to live with it because the other person has decided to move away from the situation without realising that they are running away and that there is no closure to the problem. So what do you do? You learn to move on. But for a person like me, I do feel a pinch of uncomfortability due to the non closure of the issue.

Well I have a lot to write so don't be surprise if you see two or more entries on the same date. I am just compartmentalizing my thoughts. I just hope that whoever reads this and knows what I am talking about think about what I say in a more rational and practical manner and for once think about where I am coming from. Though I am skeptical about the person reading it or even taking it up with me, I just wish he or she would so I can bring it to a closure. Or on the other hand I can leave it up to my date (time) to seal the case.
