There are always one or more reasons behind every decision made. Even the impersonal ones. Even the ones we try to deny as having any sort of thought behind them beyond the subconscious act of doing. And, there is a particular emphasis made on the decisions whose results will be seen outwardly.
I note:
Sometimes, we want praise and gratification for a deed well done, assumed to be selfless yet the merit received is unavoidably ego boosting. Or, we chose to present ourselves in a means that will generate a response, whether vocal or non-vocal, that will give us that temporary flash of self-satisfaction that makes the decision worth all the effort. We are not wrong in doing so. We cannot be wrong, for as humans, to err is what we do naturally. Yet occasionally, an outsider’s perspective will view a person, a demeanor and a motion as so intentionally forced it comes off as unattractive.
When and where can we send ourselves the message to not take a destructive next step and turn to act in reverse, preventing that craved temporary high bound by universal law to end in a feeling of doubt and desolation?
I wish myself that luck.
