LOST IN TRANSLATION


The impact writers words have to their audience doesn't always get the audience the way it was intended to. Words may have similar meanings in the English dictionary but the readers emotions may have swayed their interpretation of the writing. The readers may carry certain biased views in their mind due to the impact of the words that are connected to a feeling or an experience in the readers life. It is hard for some to reflect on the writing without taking a personal view on how the piece might relate to them. Therefore creating a paranoid affect that makes the reader feel as if it is a personal attack on the way they may view the world. Is this an emotional problem or should all writing be a reflection on how it relates to the reader. Why is it that so many people can read the same piece of writing but be left with completely different feelings being stirred. Is this an example of a pessimistic view over an optimistic view. The less stable the mind the more someone will view your writing as personal attack on them forcing the reader to prepp themselves for a counter attack without taking in consideration that the way the mind interprets everyday dilemas is different and what might work for some doesn't always work for another. So the only true solution is to ask the writers intention that way you wont assume the worst unless your a positive thinker who may look deep into the writing and realise that the words were not designed to hurt the reader they were put out as a way the writer could express his or her interpretation of the world.

TO TIRED TO RETIRE

We work most our life to reach a stability of wealth that will help sustain a certain lifestyle. Making a promise to ourselves that eventually we will reach our financial goal and retire from our job to enjoy the remainder of our life utilising the nest egg that we have put aside for the rainy days that may follow. But our commitment changes and so does our promise to the lifestyle we've imagined ourselves in when our financial goals are met. Some people seem to search for another out to the promises they have made leaving them with excuses of why they shouldn't retire yet. For now working no longer is warranted by the struggles that force others to a lifestyle where work time overrides our leisure time. Fear of what they will do with the eight hours of freedom where they can choose how to spend their leisure time is enough reason for them to stick inside the box that tells them how and when to do things because choices are scary when your not sure what to do.

CONTROL FREAKS


Decisions made by you offend those who feel that they should be involved in the elimination process. A process every individual with the freedom of choice goes through when trying  to decipher what is right for them. With every decision made you have two choices, Do i do what i want ? or Do i do what people want me to do. Most logical answers will leave you feeling at piece with yourself and if that means pleasing others over pleasing yourself you will eventually blame those you were trying to please for your misfortunes. When you should be blaming yourself for not taking control of your own life, for that all we have is our ability to choose our path and live the life that makes us happy. Freedom will only come when you stand next to your own beliefs even though you might offend those who disagree with your thoughts.
