Profoundness
Every now and then I read back on my entries to remind me of who I am, but sometimes I just don't recognize the person who wrote the entries. I don't consider myself wise, nor profound, but i do tend to write about serious issues every now and then. This surprises me, as i think myself a pretty laid back, social creature, who doesn't take much seriously, but I suppose I really do take things to heart. I am passionate about things. For instance, Science. When I hear things like there will be cuts to funding due to frivolous things, I can get rather worked up about this.
I also value good morals and ethics, and so when I see lazy people taking advantage of people that work hard, I get irate. Recently someone told me about a friend that had been unjustly fired, with a feeble excuse, due to recent events in the States. This made me see red, and I could see the little devil that wants to stand up for something appear. I always laughed at people who protest outside Parliament, or outside Pharmaceutical companies, but I am seeing that protester in me more and more as the days go by. My views are becoming stronger, and I seem to be more argumentative against other's views. I don't think I am less tolerant of opposing views, I welcome the other side of the story as I like to weigh up the options, but I think in my old age (!?) I am less easily swayed.
Whether being less pliable is a good thing, I am yet to discover. All I know is that I am a much stronger person than I was a few years ago. I still have hardly any confidence in who I am, or my appearance, but I know what I believe in, and sometimes I am proud to let people know what my views are. I accept people may have different views, and that possibly they do not want to hear mine, but where's the fun in everyone agreeing?
