why do you say that?

Because maybe you are trying to fly like an eagle but are surrounding yourself with turkeys.

To clarify: a literal majority of the waking hours is spent working for the vast majority of Americans, acting as someone else's bee-otch for a cause they are so-so about, at best. For the clincher, we live in the most advanced society(s) in human history, enjoying the spoils of incredible technology, yet so many are soooooo miserable that they go to a doctor to get happy pills.


And you want the wisdom of "everybody else?"
I don't understand this post.

If you want to be understood initially, then hang out/befriend/socialize with those who think and react as you do. BUT at the same time, in order to continue to learn, you have to expose yourself to new ideas or new ways of thinking, while still holding true to your own perceived set of morals and values. There is nothing wrong with asking someone to clarify what they may say or do or believe, as long as it is done in a respectful way, not belittling. Most people are willing to explain themselves if given the right opportunity.Stepping out of a comfort zone is just the beginning of expanding one's horizons.
Does that make sense?? It does to me, then again I am odd
