Nothing’s particularly wrong with people who generally prefer social media interactions to meeting new people in person.
Not every college dropout is out of school because of poor grades, economic challenges, drug problems, or the infamous “village people”; not every exceptionally brilliant student is interested in pursuing a PhD either.
Not every “successful man” or “homely woman” who everybody considers “ripe for marriage” is interested in getting hitched, and – in my humble opinion – not everyone should be.
Not every couple that insists they're just not ready for kids yet is struggling with fertility issues and refusing to admit it.
Not every gifted writer, athlete or performer is interested in pursuing a career in any of those fields. And you know what? That's perfectly fine.
Not every young man who stays discreet about his “mysterious” source of wealth that you still can't seem to put a finger on is doing something illegal.
And, please, there's nothing necessarily wrong with a young lady who generally seems to prefer male company to being around girls.
Why do we so easily make these silly assumptions and think something must be wrong with people simply because they don’t reason like we do?
Everybody's different; everybody's human. Everybody's entitled to their own opinions and choices, and we really don’t have to understand (much less agree with) them to respect them, just as they aren’t mandated to understand ours either.
In the near future, I’ll probably do a much more comprehensive article about perspectives, paradigms and priorities, and how radically they can vary from one person to another, but, till then, maybe we should focus a bit more on doing what we know is right for and by us, and consciously let other people live their own lives in peace.
I pray the boundary lines fall for us in the most pleasant places this new week.
They just have to.
Happy Sunday, good people!
