Sad thing about being optimistic is you get your hopes up then you easily get dissapointed.

Even though we think we’re not or try not to be, we’re all egotistic. We think of ourselves more than other people. But it’s not a bad thing. We’re defensive because we avoid getting hurt. It’s nature.

I don’t get how people are complaining about having too much stuff to memorize for this course. In my old high school in the Philippines, we had to memorize the WHOLE PERIODIC TABLE OF ELEMENTS! So y’all better quit whinin’!

Verstehen

(fer-SHTAY-hen)

According to Max Weber, a German sociologist, it is the understanding of people’s actions. It is empathizing with people’s motives; to understand the meaning behind their behavior.

Isn’t it ironic how you try to help a person then they break your trust? You’re trying to do good yet people do you wrong? Why do people do this to each other? Isn’t this gonna be just an endless loop of using and hurting each other? I don’t understand it. But from now on, I gotta learn how to say “No”. TRUST NO ONE. GET HURT BY NO ONE. HATE NO ONE.
