Human perspectives are a funny thing. It's incredible how the environment and the people you are around influence you, change the way you think, respond, act, decide, and tell upon almost every aspect of your life.

I've noticed that people with lesser constraints upon them find it easier to let others be happy. No, wait that's a naive statement. What I mean is that people whose society, religion, upbringing, are more constrained find it easier to buckle under authority, to be cowed down by their superiors(in their opinion) and conversely, bully and put down their subordinates.

I think my mother can be extremely conservative in her opinions sometimes, and yet, when I'm faced with a similar situation, I react in the same conservative, slightly bigoted manner.

I feel sometimes like it's like a giant mess of cobwebs in a dark, dark room. Nothing is visible from a distance, and if you shine a light, you begin to see tightly bound, sticky threads that unravel when you touch them, and then slowly build up again. If only there was a broom to sweep them all of in a stroke!
