A New Understanding

A new understanding……….

Frederick Douglas was a man full of curiosity and intelligence. He taught himself how to read and write and as soon as he had mastered both concepts he noticed that the world was unraveling before his very eyes. Evidently what Frederick Douglas realized about the world happens to everyone, with the exception that Frederick Douglas observed the world and its components to learn concepts from his surroundings.

As for me lately I have began to notice a certain pattern within humans just like Frederick Douglas because I actually stopped to acknowledge the subject I came to analyze the subject into more depth. This subject relationships. Why is that ninety percent of the time men and women fall apart when their partner abandons the relationship? Why is it that we choose to continue in the relationship even when one of the partners constantly brings down the other person? Many people do this because they find it perfectly normal. In reality was is normal? Does normal even exist ? Does right and wrong exist as well? What I have came to understand is that when one of the partners in a relationship is being emotionally, physically, and mentally abused is not really getting hurt from their partner but themselves. What people don’t realize is that we all have the power to leave, take, accept, and consider something or someone. We for some odd reason are unable to take the time to sit down with ourselves during this time period because we are afraid of being alone.

The truth is that when we are alone we tend to understand things much better. The one thing that everybody wants in life is happiness. Many people can agree to this, but if we know what we want, why is it that we choose to ignore it ? I have observed many people, including myself, where we are unhappy with this certain someone we need to understand that this is not the place for us . We need to value ourselves as the individuals we are, and most importantly, we need to leave our unhappiness behind because if we choose to stick around, our unhappiness then we will never expand the three stages of mind experience, interpretation, an analysis of aspects of our lives.

Nevertheless I have came to the conclusion that in the same way that Fredrick Douglas felt passionately about slavery and wanted to make a change; we need to become passionate about ourselves. If we are unhappy in a relationship, we must be passionate towards the fact that we love and respect ourselves to allow someone else to come and put out that flame that lives within us.
