Often, we say to ourselves that we have weaknesses. We admit it to others as well that certain aspects of ourselves are our weaknesses. Whether we are rash, we have a quick temper, we are irresponsible or we are lazy; we often admit it and leave it at that. Why can't we all understand that we can change?
In admitting these weaknesses and fixing it as unchangeable aspects of ourselves, we are merely being stubborn. That's our true weakness. Our apathetic natures and unwillingness to change. We moan to others about our own faults, but we secretly find solace in knowing that we know. We revel in the comfort of certainty in deceiving ourselves that we know our own weakness, when in truth, we are really blind to the fact that we can change. These weaknesses are only a part of us because we are not doing anything about them.
"Why must we conform to society's pressure? I will be what I want to be." The most common counter-argument against pressure to change coming from a third party. It seems so noble and so... correct. I just want to be myself. What's wrong with that? But say that just a few more times and we just fall into a trap of stagnation and decadence. We are so content with our own strengths and weaknesses that we'll never strive for anything more. Just be contented and deluded with the illusion of ourselves. Many atimes, people conclude an argument by saying something like "Well that's the way I am. If you can't accept it, too bad." But that's not the way we are. We can change! Statements like that pave the way to the end in relationships.
So for goodness sake, stop saying that "I'm ..." and buck up. Go do something about it.

this is not a personal attack... it's a release of a buildup of these feelings. then again, i do hope to reach out to readers; some more than others. for myself too of course, since i've been on both sides of the coin, and it's so difficult sometimes to take a step and make an effort to change. so yup, just reaffirming again that i'm not pissed. rather, i wanna help without getting anyone pissed. this is an anonymous and impersonal way to do it.
