Are You Shallow? (Page 2)

Branh how much ever I had liked your earlier posts, here you are outof it. I thought your post was targeted towards bringing out certian responses. But then you say it was aimed at cancerkitten. Then you could have aimed it at her. I must admit responding emotionally is a bit shallow as one fails to actually see the real person.That doesn't make emotioanl persons intellectually shallow. I suppose you have heard about Madame & Pierre Currie, Martin Luther, Rockfellers, Roosevelt,and the list is endless. They were all water signs. There are more intellectual celebrities in water signs than in earth signs. So I stand by this that water signs are very deep emotionally and intellectually. If you see more of their emotions in them , it is because you have failed to look beyond that emotioanlism. So busy you get in analysing them.

greeneyedgemini I would definitely like to help you with self-hypnosis. I will post it on the Misc Board. Give me sometime. I am not into this profession just for money.I love this feild.My profile speaks about me.

I don't think I am shallow when it comes to stuff such as this. In fact, quite the opposite, I'm drawn to people with handicaps, flaws, and anyone who is downtrodden in society for any reason. Maybe in other ways, people may see me this way, such as Branh, since I'm a water sign, but, that's ok, because I know who I am and I love myself for who I am, and that's ok. But, I don't see myself as shallow.

The main problem, I should think, is that most people (can't say all because that wouldn't be fair) THINK THEY ARE PERFECT! That is the whole problem with this issue and all others that are raised in this world, beit, personally, professionally and/or worldwide. It might very well be that someone smells good and so would turn away from someone just because they are stinky - but, that person who smells sweetly has other things about them that are inadequate, insufficient in some way to another human being. So, I guess the main reason for posting this in the first place was basically to see if people can look within themselves to see thier own discreptancies - which, most can't, as it were.

Apparantly, it's human nature to take what YOU THINK is your most admirable qualitites and then expect others to stand up next to them. Place judgements on others who don't fit into your realm of what is important to sustain quality to your life. I too, fall into this assessment, for I too, am human, so, I'm just saying this as a general statement for all of us. How many of us are there who look at someone else and shake our heads for another's discreptancies with arrogance, just to lay in bed at night and feel sour, or bitter, or guilty about something we did that we knew was wrong; or, to think about our own problems (of course, blaming someone else for those problems); or, feel inferior about some part of our body, intellelect, misjudgement, career avenue, or just anything that causes us grief. We are all inferiour to another, no one person is better than another - we are all just different, with some redeeming quality. Wouldn't it be nice to live in the ideal world?

Are we all a little bi-polar? That seems to be the case, doesn't it?

It's so easy to be oblivious, ignorant and therefore, only see what pleases us so we can sit back and pat ourselves on the back for being these amazing creatures WE THINK we are. And, in our own ways, we are! There's certainly nothing wrong with knowing what we can accomplish, having confidence in ourselves. But, if the only thing we can see is ourselves, then "yes", that makes us ALL a tad shallow.

If we only live within ourselves, "in" the moment, for ourselves - if we refuse to believe that the other less fortunate souls have something valuable to bring to this world, to our own lives, just because they don't measure up to our own preconcieved ideals - then we all have serious issues, perhaps more urgent than someone with stinky feet, bo, or bad breath. A doctor can fix our medical problems, but only we can fix ourselves. The question is, do we want to, or, are we so 'blind' that we think we can find satisfaction with our own over-exaggerated image of self-righteousness?
