seriously folks

I think people like to think "serious" thoughts, but they don't want
to put too much effort into them. It's a life style of willful
ignorance. They certainly don't want to put in an effort to ask, and
actually converse with others and find that the "deep" meanings
their minds have been developing , they would rather assume than go
and directly ask a person if they were in jest, or if they were
serious Instead, it becomes, "I feel this way, but I am not going to
bother thinking about why I feel this way, or find out what other
people who have felt this way have said and done, so that I may come
to a better understanding, no I would rather assume the worst and
feed my anger.. its to difficult and anyway I still really want to
dis like them even if I am not fully informed of their personality,
background..etc...
Actually ,it often the mind set that " if it does not benefit me its
just not worth while.
.. The only reason I could see that someone might say you take
yourself too seriously, is an impatience with people who have taken,
and will always take, the things that you do less seriously. And
it's certainly not necessary to be patient with stubborn people ,
But the only way to get through to the willfully ignorant is to
share, starting from their level. But they usually don't want to
grow in a direction that might be strange to them

Note, however, that these ideas are "non-researched", and I will try
to do something about them rather than just being aware while trying
not to fall into the traps of our attitude . So why would you want
to take the time to get to know me?
