The "My Myself & I" paradigm

"Life does not revolve around you only, if it were you wouldn't of made it this far anyways." - E.B

   Well this is where you come out and tell me who that is. Is it only you or is it yourself as well? There's this well-known weird type of paradigm that's been obviously popular over the past few years. I'm sure everyone's already familiar with it, it's the me,myself, and I paradigm. It's becoming quite global, for those who are not familiar with it this is what it simply means.

The me,myself, and I paradigm:

1. You only care about you
2. You only care about yourself
3. You only care about you and yourself

   Pretty simple, but looking deep into it it's like the entire world revolves around you only. Now are you the only one in this planet of more than a billion soul? If you consider the animal kingdom itself, then that counts to a very large number of souls, when we get to the human part of the world's population, it's probably a double or triple. That's not the point though so let's stay with the humans. There's always that moment we all take every once in a while when we just look around and wonder what everyone's going through. What they're currently thinking of, what they've just encountered, how is it back at home, who are they worrying about the most, are they doing all the work, are they really satisfied with who they are right now. Ignoring yourself for a moment and appreciating the humans walking in front of you, the ones sitting next to you, the ones you go to class with adds up to what is known as "self-appreciation and respect." 

   You are not meant to be 100% happy or satisfied in your life, and that's a fact. We humans, sadly comprehend this fact in a very negative way. We simply think " why us ? " when god decides to test our patience. We always wonder "am I really jinxed?" when god wants you to look around and get a hold of yourself. That's just the way we humans work. The only difference between us all is how we really react, and that's where we stand out. Regardless of what good and bad you're currently in , you should just bless the fact that you're still better than someone else out there. That woman sitting on the bench reading a book could be going through a rougher time than you are. The girl walking by and smiling to your face must've had a rough night but still managed to draw that smile to draw that line between her personal and academic life.

   It's by human nature for us to vent and talk about what bothers us, but there has to be the right party that takes it in and eventually makes you feel better. Some people do not accept that and hold it against you, why do that though? If you've been able to toggle all matters and work hard, then there was this one time when you slipped, why would they hold that against you? Didn't they go through the same?

   You should always give what you take, but in return it always goes down to who you really are deep down inside. You should not expect in return, you just give give give for your own sake. Just remember that there will always be that one time in your life time where you can come out as a normal human being, just be careful who witnesses that.

   There is no "me" really, it's just all of us appreciating the other. In the end we all follow different paths, but in the end we all fall down the same one.
