Performing others

 Today I will talk about others. Or rather, what others say about me. In fact, I am going to talk about why I am not interested in what others think of me. I read this sentence in the planner: I cannot influence what others think of me. But I can decide whether I am interested at all. 

I know that many people do not have a positive opinion of me, but that is not my problem. Obviously, such people do not know me as well as they think they do and therefore have a bad opinion of me. Or they are just making things up based on their own mind and what they have seen. There is a saying or a proverb: To think is to know nothing. Which also means, seeing is not knowing. 

This is mostly true of neighbours all the time who have something against you or behave childishly, because for some reason they are much more interested in you than they are in what they are going to do with their own lives. I find that really sad, because it means that I have a more varied life than they do, which I like and I am proud of, but they are wasting their precious time enjoying life. Well, they don't know what life is all about, so they prefer to deal with someone else's life. 

When someone says to me: This person said this to me and that person said that to me about you. I'm like okay, what does that have to do with me?? Yeah okay it's bad, but it's not my problem that it bothers someone else! So why are you telling me this?? You're just putting me in a bad mood! You're not doing me any good! And it's not doing you any good either! If you have something against me, tell me! 

We are always dealing with other people instead of ourselves. It is really sad that we are looking at what other people are doing and not at what we might do for our own good. Let's say tidy up the house or tidy up the garden. Get busy with ourselves and do something that we are really happy about. 

Find a hobby or start writing a book. You don't need much to write a book. You need a pencil or a pencil sharpener then paper or a notebook or just a computer. You can write random sentences that come into your head in a blank document and write a story from them. I did it myself in the story: 'The girl with the pencil and the eraser'. 

Or you can just sit under a tree in the garden, I have that option because I have 11 trees in my garden, it's not the devil that none of them say. Or I can even put up a hammock outside and enjoy it. In short, there are countless possibilities for not watching what the neighbours are doing!! There is no reason to keep an eye on them anymore!!! 

But I tell you what, don't worry about the people who don't know you, if they don't like you just tell them and don't hang out with me because I'm not threatening you with a gun! I can find better friends than you and you are no use to me anymore! You won't be alone and there's nothing to be afraid of, but even if you are it's okay people we have to get used to being alone and fill the time when we are alone. Only in this way will we get to know ourselves and our needs better and be happier. 

That will be all for this post I enjoyed writing and you enjoyed reading so we/you/we both/we/we both win. Jes! See you again in the next post in 4 days. Have a great day and keep it up.
