People, Problems, and Pimples

Sometimes I sit down and think....I know, I know...NOT a good idea, but sometimes it does come ing handy...I think of life, of objects, and many other interesting things. But mostly I think about people.

The other day, as I was thinking about people, I said to myself  "humans are such funny beings.", then I realized that to make such a statement, I was to set myself apart...to make a statement like that would lead to believe that I'm not...human nor funny.
Sometimes I think about people and imagine how hard I would laugh at people if I were some other inteligent being and could sit back and watch the in's and out's of each individual.  We as humans are  ridiculous.

 There are so many problems we could avoid if we'd only learn to pay more attention to things, to think things through better, and to remember that there are always, Always, ALWAYS more than one side to each story.  We humans are so limited, we can't know how one stupid mistake can effect the course of life as we know it.  But we all make mistakes. If we didn't we wouldn't be human, and there would be no need of a more perfect Being, and thinking about people wouldn't be near as much fun.

I am not much of a people person. I don't do well in big crowds of people for very long....granted, life has kinda trained me to deal with it, but in the end the result is the same.
When I was younger, at church fellowship meals, I would take my plate of food to an empty table in an unlit corner of the room and observe people as I ate. it's not that I didn't get along with anybody, or that I didn't want to talk, it's that I just really enjoyed watching the people more than 'being' the people.

I'e learned so much about human nature by sitting quietly in my corner and keeping my eyes and ears opened and my mouth shut. I'm not trying to say that talking isn't good...it's VERY good...It's just better to have observed and learned before hand, that way, when you talk, others listen because you know what your talking about.

Communication has never been one of my strong points. Don't get me wrong, I'e never been and probably never will be a quiet person, I've always bee the kind of person that has DEFINITE opinions and not afraid to voice them. But I don't tend to let big groups of people hear my voice...small groups, maybe....close friends, yeah...but big groups of people usually think I can't talk (jk).
I do much better in groups of 2 or 3 people than with 5 or 6.   Some people might not think that that is a difference that should hardly make one....but that is OTHER people, not me....to me it makes a big difference.    If you really want to get to know me, you'd have the best luck if it were one on one... and asking me questions isn't gong to get you very far, either. Usually I don't know the answers to any questions about myself that you'd put to me verbally....you'd learn faster by observation.  If you're not good at observing then  I'm pretty sure you're up a creek without a paddle, as far as I'm concerned.  And it's not that I mind being asked about myself, I just rarely think about or observe myself like that,  so I find it difficult to verbalize new thoughts about myself....I usually like to chew over new information for a while. If you's ask me a question once and not get a good answer from me, you might try again about a week later and get a better response.    If you really want to figure something out about me that can't be done by simple observation, ask me something like this: "How is it that some people..." Or, "You know how (particular person) does..." or,  "How would this affect....", ask in the most round-about way you can think of.  If this approach is used, I'd most likely come back with: "Well, in my experience..." or, "Well, I don't know about other people, but with me....", or (If I needed more time to think about it) I'd come out with a simple "couldn't tell ya'."

So what does all this have to do with pimples?  Well, as I've sat back and observed human nature and people ing their natural surroundings, it has occurred to me that their our problems are a lot like pimples in many ways.  I know, it sounds bad, but hear me out...

7 Ways Life's Problems Are Like Pimples:

1. MOST TIMES THEY START OUT  FAIRLY SMALL.
       The skin on the human face  from person to person.  Depending on their family, way of life and where they live will determine  on the skins thickness and color. Some have smooth, soft skin,while others will have rough, worn skin on their faces.  The pours of the skin will also differ according to the circumstances of the individual.  Some have very big pours, others don't.  Pimples form when dead skin cells mix with excess oil (sebum). This mixture plugs the pore, causing swelling. Bacteria can grow in the mix and lead to infection and pus......yeah, pimple.

2.TIMES OF DISCOMFORT

It  seems that everyone goes through times when we’re not very comfortable with themselves.   Early adolecents  are trying to figure things out, trying to identify themseles.  Theri skin is developing so fast that it don’t know what to do, therefore it is more suseptible to…pimples.

Like us… There are times when things start to go too fast for us to keep up. We don’t really feel comfortable with ourseleves. We try to do more tan we can….problems.

3. Big, Red, and painful.

We’ve all had them.  Because of something stupid we said or did, we’ve had to deal with some pritty glaring problems . In order to fix them, we’ve probably had to suffer some  fairly painful blows to our pride.

4. Inconvenient

I’m sure you’ve all heard the saying “That’s the last thing I need to deal with right now.”

  It seems that  pimples and problems seem to pick the MOST inconvenient times to come…usually when we are under a lot of pressure and stress.

5.  SQUEEZE!

  I’ve found that in my personal experiences  that, with a bit of squeezing here and there (and maybe a Little pain and blood? haha)  both problems and pimples can be taken care of….it just takes a bit of determination.

6.Scars

There are some things that skin just doesn’t forget.   I’ve seen  adults with scars from pimples that they had had over 10(+) years.   

   I like scars.  Every scar has a story behind it… maybe not a very exciting story, but a story none the less.  And the really cool thing about scars…it’s hard to damage the same place the same way again.(That goes for problems as well as pimples)

7.A lot of times they could be avoided.

With a bit of simple forethought and logic we wouldn’t have to ut up with a lot that we do.

Think…How many pimples could I avoid  if I’d wash my face more often and learn to keep my grubby paws off  of my face while I study? (you’d actually by surprised!)

Think…Will people actually take that cirtain comment the way I mean it  or  is there a way I could say the same thing in a way that everyone will understand what I mean?

  

      Observation……It’s great, isn’t it?
