I am never surprised with human nature anymore. I used to be because I thought everyone thought the way i did. I was very wrong. I have learnt very difficult lessons in the last 6 months about trust, respect and friendship. I started this blog because I wanted to travel in the hopes that I could purge and cleanse, both at the same time.
As time has moved on I have discovered that all you are in control of is yourself and that you can not foresee what people will do or how they will behave. The truth is you have no control. All you can do is surround yourself with people that you believe to have a good heart and nature.
Fortunately I have come out on the other side of my lessons with my health, dignity, or what's left of it, and sense of humour(or be it a little darker these days).......
Covey once wrote re human nature:
"Seek first to understand and then to be understood. Most people do not listen with the intent to understand: they listen with the intent to reply. They're filtering everything through their own paradigms, reading their autobiography into other people's lives."
So what do I know about human nature. Absolutely nothing..........I can only comment on myself and myself alone. I do not judge, or critique because I am not a perfect person and I am not you..........
