I and I? We be irie!

So...I'm of the opinion that the I should be responsible for I's decisions. If I decides to jump off a cliff, I should be prepared for gravity to ask for payment. I shouldn't ask why?! how did this happen and moan when all I's limbs are broken. I shouldn't be shocked if I ends up a quadriplegic. Basically I'm saying if you make a choice, then you have to be prepared for the consequences good and bad. And I'm talking about the other consequences, the ones you had no idea would happen. Regret is fine but whining is not.

I'm saying this because it has come to my attention that I don't exactly have patience for people who complain about positions they got themselves into. Maybe because my mother has never had any patience for my whining, mostly because , and I am blessed this way, I am mostly surrounded by honest, blunt to a fault people who never hesitate to point out when I'm being annoying.

It's so simple, to be accountable for you, to know that your actions determine what happens to you. Self pity is addictive, self destructive and unattractive. Denial is functional but only up to a certain point but blaming anything apart from yourself? how long before anything become the people you care about? And what's their breaking point? When is enough, enough?

I'm not being self righteous. I've had my self pity years and this is what I learnt. That sometimes acting happy helps. And if you focus on your faults you will find them. And if you're so busy moping you'll never have time to do anything else. And your attitude is attractive so you probably won't be. And after I learnt all these things the hard way then I decided not to be a dumbass any more. And I realized that I am responsible for my happiness and as a result, my unhappiness, not anyone else though they do try. And now I am happier. I makes I happy. Me, myself and I be sharing a figurative blunt underneath a technocoloured rainbow. And we agree. It's Xanadu!
