Philosophy
Now I have done it!!! After this morning’s blog, I have been thinking about things in general. I guess I am very philosophical about things because I enjoy thinking about what is, what was, what could be, etc. So, here comes one of my dim-witted philosophies, so proceed with caution.
My question is this for our venture into my twisted, demented mind, “Why and how do we choose to live the lives that we do?” Okay, I have my answer, but what about everyone else? I believe that my insanity began with my parents. But is it just a learned behavior or do we have a drive inside of us that makes us decide full speed ahead or let’s take it slow because there might be curves or bumps in the road?
From an early age, I knew what I wanted to do for my profession. Also, I had a drive inside me to do certain things that would lead me to my goals, but what made me fear trying something out of the norm. On that same note, my brother, who was from the same parents, chose to take that path fast and furious. So, how can we be so different if we came from the same household, same rules, and same beliefs?
It brings me back to, "Is it inside of us?” I believe that we make the choices as we move on in life. Yes, our parents, friends, family, etc. do mold us a bit, but we are the ones in the driver seat. So, if this is the truth, how can we change our behavior if we want to? Again, this is not an easy thing. After my divorce, I tried to be something I wasn’t. Yes, I tried the fast lane and just could not keep up with it or did not want to keep up. I went out, not sure what I was looking for, but did. Honestly, I was looking to make up for as my brother put it, lost “conquests.” But the thing of it is, I am not the type of person, no matter how hard I tried, that just notches the bed post. With me, it is all or nothing!!!! Part of me wanted to take that path, but once there, it just wasn’t me.
Here we are I have wasted about 10 minutes of your time with my babbling. At this time, I have an assignment for you, how do you respond to this philosophy and why?

you have given me a headache trying to figure out a response. thanks....i cannot figure out where i came from, my one brother and i are just alike, the other 3 are a little more cautious. but not one of us models ourselves after my parents. i think we "become" who we are by dealing with life's changes. but we are always changing. thats a big prob between me and michael, he hasn't changed and i have. which is why no one should get married until they are 50. hahaha
