Wow.

I will talk yet  again about a woman. She is someone who is  puzzled herself by her own behavior and thought patterns. She came across her old blogs and was surprised by what she wrote in these blogs. She seemed like a  different person, she seemed composed and comfortable in her own skin.  She was able  to speak  eloquently about her observations,  and able to bear in mind to be careful as it is a public blog. She  had a lot of class that now she felt  had left her. She seemed pure and unaffected by the harsh realities of  life. It's like she lived in a different world. Isolation, that's  probably the "culprit". And yes, it is true.

I wonder now, how bittersweet life is, how safe  you'd feel at one moment,  and  the next experience  horrible  and wronged.  I can pretend life is a  beach,  but so much has happened already,  and I can't believe in that anymore. People  have  changed. No matter if they experienced  one event  at  two different  time  periods, I am sure they would have been  affected and reacted  differently.  There  is less  concern for formality, class, maturity  and ethics. I believed  back then,  that these things existed. Now, several years later,  things changed. I'm not the same person as that person who seemed  to believe in them, and like someone who lived in  a penthouse in New York City, sophisticated and put together,  and I don't believe more people cared  about character. At present, I perceive more people care about money,  lavish lifestyles,  and fame no matter if they step on people as they do it. If you behave nicely people would think you want  to ask for a favor.  If you behave decently at all times, people  try to find something wrong about you.  Maturity these days is equated  to being a fighter, a survivor, someone who  is not afraid to hurt others or themselves as long as they and  their family  is protected. Ethics is not important anymore. In  fact, even  one professional I have contact with recommended one to cheat where if you followed the advice  would get you in jail.

It is easy to say  that  a person can  exist in this world  feeling safe, but  as experiences flow in that person's life, the same person will feel like happiness is not something that lasts. In fact, these days, you would need to work at it in order to achieve happiness. It's an achievement now.  It's not easy to experience anymore.
