Wait

People Are Blind
Ever been in a relationship where everyone around you tells you there is something really wrong with the relationship and you need to be out of it? If you are the average person, then the answer is yes. Those are always fun to look back on and be like "I was stupid. They were smart." However, the beauty of it is that you will probably not make the same mistake again. The smartest choices in life you can make are not repeating the same ones. All the mistakes you make, make you stronger. There is always a positive to a negative.
This may just be funny to me....
Relationships are funny. I was running with a friend last week and had a realization while conversing. In most cases, a guy gets interested in a girl. He usually has to work to get interest back until he has finally won her over. Then, when it ends, he gets over it relatively quickly in comparison to her. Basically, guys like the girl first, then get over her first too (not true everytime).
I was talking with a former teacher a month or two ago and we talked about relationships. She pointed out an interesting point about premarital relations. What is the average age of getting married today? 24 maybe? What was it several hundreds of years ago? 15 maybe? How much easier would it be to stay pure if you got married that early? I'm not so sure we were made to commit to another this late in life. College and careers have made it this way, so never the less...
Everyone is Judgmental.
All this reminds me that we are all judgmental. You know someone who says they aren't judgmental? Are they human? Therefore, they are judgmental and a liar. Seriously, even the best of us slip and think down on someone, but, not only do we not have that right, nothing is ever black and white. My mentor in high school once said "Just remember, you never know the whole story." Those are important words to live by I believe. Just freakin' love people.

  2. That would be true if you had aspergers and didn't take things in context. Luckily, your extreme ingenuity has led you to believe that a better writing style would have been "All the mistakes you make, make you stronger...except when you die or get a disease." All of my other readers were able to scrounge up enough mental strength to catch the writing style.
