Something funny about getting older is you notice stupid things people do, even those just a few years younger than you. You like to assure yourself that you never did things like that! Even though there is always a little voice in the back of your head that asks, did I? I personally find myself annoyed by teenagers. I heard many conversations between teenage girls and guys when I worked in a popular department store. It always seemed interesting to hear how important these seemingly petty things are to these budding adults. It can be anything from clothes and hair to the big boyfriend/girlfriend issues.
I laugh to myself knowing that it’s fleeting; the problem will be gone before they know it. It is also kind of amusing how the younger you are, the more you seem to know. Then you get older and turn around and say, “I shouldn’t have done that.” Like, I moved out on my own and had a wake up call. I thought I was ready! I’m 19, I’m an adult! How wrong was I? It also prompted me to understand psychology more. I see there are really just so many personality types. In any setting there are always the freakish, the righteous, the curious, the quiet, the outspoken ‘know it all’, the popular/ditsy, the thuggish, and maybe even a county person. It seems to be a never failing system.
From where I sit in class even, I can look around and catch these types. Anywhere you go, you can get two people who’ve never met that can fall easily into the same type. It can almost seem uncanny how that would work, but it does. Everywhere I go I find this pattern. I shudder to think that even my own personality is looming out there somewhere in its own social circle. It kind of hurts the ego to come to the conclusion that you aren’t one of a kind and that there is someone else out there like you, maybe thousands of people. But it does seem that there is a personality formula for even the most different of people.
Almost like life, in itself is the ultimate game. If you’ve ever played games like; Sims, Age of Empires, or Civilization, you’re ultimately playing God. You tell the players what to do, even sometimes how to do it, in the order you want them to do it and so on. Then you sit there and watch them live their lives out in front of you. You even have to sit by and watch as other civilizations come in and try to do what you’re doing, almost as if each tribe has its own God. The same way ancient civilizations believed, that makes it easy to get a connection. In a sense, their life is a game, so what stops our lives from being one? God could be the ultimate player. Having preset people types and letting us go on and live our lives and make our stupid mistakes, to ultimately make it through and learn a lesson.
Is this why people kill? Or why people get great movie roles and some never can catch a break? Could our lives have a prearranged destined path and God is the player that watches us wiggle around until we get there? Then, one by one we lead ourselves to personal advancements. Each advancement is another notch in our soul for higher advancement later. In terms of reincarnation, each life we live is another lesson learned that goes toward an overall spiritual goal of soul enlightenment.
A good example is the game Final Fantasy X. There is this thing called a sphere grid with any ability your character would ever need to learn and once they learn it that spot fills in and they are able to perfect it. What if God was the player and each person had their own sphere grid. The grid transferred from lifetime to lifetime, meaning our body was just our transport to gain another level on our grid. Once the grid is complete, that is when you achieve a perfection and no longer have to come back. Maybe like a peace and harmony on the other side? No one can be too sure, but it is an interesting thought. Which could explain why some people are deemed evil or mean or troubled, maybe they are just learning a lesson. Since not all lessons are good ones, there has to be all kinds of people on earth, good and bad. At some point in time, it seems the older you get, the more you realize this evitable truth. Then you think back when you were younger and wish you had realized this all along. Maybe if you had always known you wouldn’t have tried to change people or ignore people, or be unreasonable yourself.
I think there are a lot of things that people don’t realize when they are young that would have helped them a lot. Who knows what someone’s life would have been like had they been able to understand certain things about it. I’m not sure what even the world would be like. Maybe different cultures could all come to a similar agreement and we could all live happily, if these simple things were taught at a young age. I guess that might be something that we’ll never know.
