your principles

have you ever asked yourself questions about yourself? you know those kind of random thought-provoking questions you come up with moments before you sleep at night or in your showers or when you are staring blankly out into space? yeah i will be answering of of such questions i had. of course i have come up with the answer and hence i am sharing, in case some of you might need some light on such a similar question.

so the question is.. how do you know how much have you grown? or have your thinking matured/improved over the last few years? well, to me these questions can be answered just my judging on the principles you have. not saying what i mentioned here is the right way.. but come on this is my personal blog, they are my thoughts haha… i don’t post politically right answers. i post answers from my own heart and mind. 

okay, moving along then. your principles. the principles here can be seen as many things. for the sake of simplicity, let’s just say that these principles are like standards. they demarcate your threshold before you go “nope that’s it, that’s the line”. this applies to anything you experience. let’s see how many i can list off my head..

1) under what circumstances you will not forgive a friend/person for the rest of your life?

2) to you, what are the qualities of person you look out for to deem the person as your friend?

3) hanging out with friends, hanging out with your family, working, me time.. how do you prioritise all these? what are the exceptions?

well, those are the bigger questions i guess. i mean those aren’t exactly your own personal laws.. just guidelines so that you keep track what the hell you are doing in various aspects of life. i think the main point is to have a direction and goal and of course, knowing the limit. having these doesn’t mean you are being strict on yourself. rather, it is more of not letting anything or anyone pull you too off your course. 

if you ask me to list mine here, i am sorry to have to disappoint you. for personally, i think such thoughts and guidelines are too personal to share in an open blog. yes, of course when the time comes, now and then i would mentioned a few. close friends and family members would know a few. for these guidelines sort of signal how to piss a person off or how to be a person’s companion and what not. i guess these things don’t always come when forced. i mean if i were to ask you to list everything you have, you can’t. situations and what nots happening daily will throw one into deep thoughts and realisation.. then that is where such personal guidelines might arise.

so yeah, back to the main point then. i believe that the more guidelines you have the more you are growing.. because this would mean you are in control of your life.
