I don’t want to accidentally make it through life. I want to move with a purpose. I want to find a research project because I took the time to seek it out, not because I happened to be somewhere working with someone and through random chance, I mentioned something and that set off a chain of events where they introduced me to some friend.
While I certainly appreciate situations like those, for some reason they seem to diminish the achievement. Though as I write this, I wonder if I’m being too harsh. After all, a person cannot conceivably have knowledge of everything going on and part of successful living involves making use of relationships one develops with others.
Writing this post stems from a post here. VSB is out to inform women, once and for all, the signs that indicate that a man is interested in them beyond just satiating sexual appetites. To me, this list goes without saying. But then I thought about whether I could make a similar list of signs that a woman is interested in a man. . . and while I could probably list one or two, that’s about as far as it goes.
This exercise reminds me that everyone does not view things in the way that I want them to view it. Instead, people have their own views, their own thoughts, that are different. If one fails to realize this, from time to time, one will become frustrated with others simply because their behavior will not make sense.
I’m going to make a relatively big logical leap here (because it’s already happened in my head) . . . Given that one cannot fully understand someone else’s behavior or motivations, do two people ever purposefully start a relationship (of any sort) where everything that happened was deliberate and not through some intermediary person or situation?
