If you say something hard enough, people are bound to believe you. Unfortunately this only works for when you say something negative, since everyone loves to have dirt over someone. It makes them feel better about themselves. Say something positive and people won’t nearly care or believe as much as when you say something bad. We all just lap it up.

I can’t think when I’m listening to music, or any sound for that matter. My brain immediately shuts down. I don’t know if that’s a good thing or a bad thing; this peculiarity of mine makes it very hard for me to focus in noisy environments but it also means that I can easily shut the whole world out whenever I want to with some mp3s and good in-ear phones. Imagine that power.

PIty is such a useless emotion, that is, if you don’t do anything about it. I keep saying this: pity is a dead-end thing while understanding the person’s situation is more productive. One, understanding something, anything, adds to anyone’s body of knowledge. Yeah, obvious, but put two and two together and you’ll eventually have two thousand—think about it. Two, understanding someone makes us more inclined to help the right way. After all, pity is not edible.

Human nature is the same everywhere, as Jane Marple is fond of saying. Translation: people are fundamentally alike. This is hard to notice if you don’t know how to look at people in a certain way. How do I say this…it’s like we were given a set of characteristics identical with everyone else when we were born. As we grow up, these characteristics evolve according to our environment and acquired preferences. However this evolution seems to have a pattern.Two or three people who have never met before and are not related to each other seems to have similar behavior, or at the very least, similar physical appearance and movement.

Whenever I meet someone new and I have met someone like this person before, recognition is immediate.
