the world will never take.

i can't believe you said that.

i like this song loads now.
i've got a saviour and he's living in me today
...
and the world will never take,
the world will never take you away.

and i'm wondering if there's a difference between
putting people on a pedestral,
and them not meeting expectations.

but aren't expectations different from pedestralising them?
expectations are set
according to the merits of each,
the abilities that people know s/he has.

so when you expect someone to be in control of his/her emotions,
and tsk tsk at them when they lash out in anger without considering the consequences,
is it justified in a sense?
is it because you know the person is mature enough to understand that all our actions have consequences to them,
and hence by acting on impulse,
our judgement is the consequence of the action?
or are we pedestralising the person,
because we're all still carnal anyway,
so who can really keep their emotions in rein?

or perhaps its neither nor,
and is simply alluded to personality and character.

does he know he's being rude,
or is he just being himself?
does she know how irritating she is,
or is she just being who she is?

i wonder if i can justify myself when i say that
i feel that some people are acting way below the maturity level they are supposed to be at.
no doubt its more comfortable to whine,
to obssess, to justify, to complain...
it just gets on my nerves at times.

maybe i'm thinking about all of this because my pet peeves are so examplified in the people around me.
self-pity.
self-absorbness.
insensitivity.

haha.
as IF i would not be guilty of either or at one point of time or another.
as IF i'm that alright with myself now anyway.
so many things i still need to change.

first stop: compassion.

maybe with this,
i'll stop asking these questions so.
