#we don't need outward validation to know our experiences are true to us

Note
p- shifting culture is most of your life desperately wanting people to believe you, and going out of our way to be nice to them just so maybe they will take me seriously, and then realizing that i don’t need the validation from others.
we are valid
we are real
we are not “crazy”
and i love to be me

I was reflecting on how we need to be true to our emotional states. why forge, lie, hide?
why, for what purpose, force yourself to live in emotional states incompatible with your current life? emphasis on the 'current', because it is important for us to recognize that everything in life is transitory, no matter how much you seem to be in the same phase for a long time.
we are very attached to the future - and sometimes to the past - but we forget to reflect on the present moment. we forget that it's necessary to focus on understanding today, stop planning for tomorrow. when are we actually experiencing a day in our lives? today I plan tomorrow, tomorrow comes and I plan the next day again, and so on. bringing it into emotional reality, it is important that you realize how you are today, your emotional life right now.
for something to be done, it is necessary to understand the current moment; for you to live according to your greatest needs, it is necessary to understand the current moment. understanding it is very important.
so, respect your moment. whatever it is. if you want introspection, allow yourself to feel the introspection. if you want expression, allow yourself to live it. everything in life is experience. the "bad" side of life is part of us and we can't deny it.
each person lives a phase, each person has a life story. don't live based on what others dictate to you. actually, it is normal having phases in which your energy will be "lower" (in reality this "low" may be being misinterpreted, it may simply be that the energy turned inwards, not outwards, which is valid?!). use this moment of introspection constructively, to get to know yourself, to get in touch with yourself.
and what we sometimes consider "bad" in life is part of us and we can't deny it. in fact, it is from facing it that we can notice different things in ourselves and then we can achieve fuller happiness, without forcing happiness.
happiness after seeing yourself as you are, seeing your flaws, weaknesses, insecurities, embracing and welcoming them, without fear of being vulnerable - at least with yourself.
it's okay to be in states (that are treated as) confused or lost. it's part of us and there's nowhere to run - the way out is to face it and deal with it. deal by understanding. and yes, we can do something, respecting our time and space.

“During bad circumstances, which is the human inheritance, you must decide not to be reduced. You have your humanity, and you must not allow anything to reduce that. We are obliged to know we are global citizens. Disasters remind us we are world citizens, whether we like it or not.” —Maya Angelou now did you find a hope ? Do you know the definition of hope? What is hope for you? And what does mean to you?
meaning of expectation can contrast contingent upon the individual doing the talking. At the point when individuals talk about expectation in an otherworldly setting, it may mean accepting beneficial things will occur with confidence in a higher force. They may coordinate their expectations outward in petition. For other people, it may mean continually looking on the brilliant side and considering difficulties to be openings. At the end of the day, continually "seeking after the best. According to " Merriam-Webster's definition makes "trust" appear near "wish": "to value a craving with expectation: to need something to occur or be valid." Whatever the subtleties, trust when all is said in done methods a longing for things to improve, and to need that better circumstance without question.
And why is it important to have hope as individual? Because hope is the only way for us people to unite as one , we need hope for humanity, and it's essential because To have hope for humanity is to need an result that creates your life way better in a few way. It not as it were can offer assistance make a intense show circumstance more tolerable but moreover can inevitably
improve our lives since envisioning an improved future propels you to require the steps to form it happen. Whether we think approximately it or not, trust may be a portion of everyone’s life. Everybody trusts for something. It’s an inborn portion of being a human being. Trust makes a difference us characterize what we need in our prospects and is portion of the self-narrative around our lives we all have running interior our minds.
If there's a hope, there should be humanity, a humankind that simply define as quality of being a human, Humankind can be characterized as nature of being human; the impossible to miss nature of man, by which he is recognized from different creatures. Being human doesn't imply that an individual has humankind. In the event that you need to comprehend the nature of humankind in an individual observe what he accomplishes for individuals who give noticing back consequently to the kindness they have advertised.
what is humanity by the way, Humanity means, whenever and wherever possible, caring for and helping others. Humanity means helping people when they need the most support, and humanity means ignoring our selfish interests when others need our support. Humanity implies that unconditional love is extended to any living person on earth.
Humanity is an individual attribute which is provided to one by nature and by which one is differentiated from other beings. Being human does not mean that humanity is possessed by a person. In a person, the standard of humanity takes note of what he does for people who give back notes in return for the favor they gave. Mother Teresa brilliantly depicted extra-ordinary compassion in a human being as she created a magnificent example of humanity around the globe and particularly in india, humanity for them means caring for and helping others whenever wherever possible.
Humanity means helping anyone when they need the most encouragement, and humanity means eliminating your selfish interests when others need your care. Humanity means extending to any and every human being on Earth love and devotion.
The tale of a king will show a perfect instance of humanity. A king with a kind heart once saw a battle pigeon and an eagle. He had the ability to interact with birds and beasts. The pigeon requested that the king rescue him from the eagle. The king told the eagle that, in consideration for saving the pigeon, he would have been prepared to pay any price. The eagle asks the king to give him flesh equal to the weight of the pigeon's flesh.
Agreeing with both the condition of the Eagle, The king begins to chop his own flesh, equal to the pigeon's flesh. He still finds the pigeon heavier, after donating a little bit of his flesh. He finally surrenders all of himself to the Eagle besides his meal. That is the moment when both the Eagle and the pigeon transformed into angels who appeared on the planet to measure the degree of the king's humanity. Now, for his deed of humanity, the king is remunerated with the most invaluable rewards and heaven after life.
And indeed , One of the most extraordinary instances of extra-standard humankind in an individual has been depicted flawlessly by Mother Teresa. Mankind implies thinking about and helping other people at whatever point and at every possible opportunity. Mankind implies helping other people now and again when they need that help the most, humankind implies overlooking your narrow minded interests on occasion when others need your assistance.
Individuals who consistently bunk that they don't have adequate offices accessible in spite of having everything can never offer compassionate types of assistance since, supposing that one has the mentality of not acting naturally adequate, in what capacity can the person in question help another person. One is constantly associated with their great deeds and it is fundamental to comprehend that there is no preferred deed over offering types of assistance for philanthropic causes.
Just individuals can comprehend the significance of mankind and it is humankind because of knowledge which really gives the center substance to human presence. You won't need a heavy ledger to contribute towards philanthropic exercises. You don't need to hefty bank account to contribute towards humanitarian activities. Paying your domestic help fairly is also humanity. Loving your neighborhood are also humanity, caring your family and friends can define as humanity, Helping one another are showing the essence humanity. Everyone of us know's what is humanity, the only thing is some people don't absorb the quintessence of humanity,
George Orwell 1944 1950 says that the
Even you are a normal individual who living with normal life, you can show humanity to the society you where belong, because humanity doesn't define your Richness, position, color, religion, and culture, because everyone of us in this world can show the essence of humanity, and thats the lacking part of us being a human today, at some point we forgot to be human, we forgot the essence of this world.
And that's why some people don't know how to act human sometimes, they can't see the hope, the hope of humanity, they are hopeless At times they feel hopless in view of something that transpires they commit an error, need to manage a major dissatisfaction, lose a person or thing we care about, or need to manage circumstances that are truly upsetting or overpowering. Different occasions, they feel miserable and don't have a clue why. It could be discouragement, absence of rest, physical ailment or some other factor that is influencing the manner in which they feel.
It affects more than one person when hope is damaged. It is impossible to replace them when true hope is rejected. It can be difficult to find inspiration again when a person has lost hope. All these claims hold true. How we shape each other's hopes is the most significant effect we have on each other. Hope breeds hope. We connect with our world more when hope remains. We commit more of ourselves, like anyone else around us, to what we do. Our innovation and our problem-solving require hope.
My point of this article in generality is that when a person has a hope she or he can capable act what is humanity , on the ground that hope and humanity are connected, because of hope people can show love humankind, love, respect, now how to care and socialize to other human, helping other people, hope is the one of the best element of an individual. Now in the view of something "Hope for Humanity " in if we deeper down the intimation hope for humanity are actually big discussions if we broader, because the insight of this article is to define and implicate the the essence of hope and humanity.
In this infinite, everlasting and ever-changing universe, the essence of humanity is to work for the independence of the will based on true awareness of the world and of itself, a subjectivity and conceptual unity of the opposites of the objectivity of blind nature and as part of nature itself. This essence is an acquired capacity that encourages man to change the conditions of his physical , mental and social human experience effective manner on the basic principle with
productive knowledge and understanding as well as of himself. In such a way as to gradually diminish but never fully eliminate the inconsistency among both subjective human persons and objective nature, between humanity and the environment.
This seems to be inherently a bad thing a complex of "being" and "knowing" historical processes; mediated by dialectical chance and necessity and taking place in a celestial body something which temporarily harbors life where life's subjectivity can evolve through discrete evolutionary leaps from blind non-living matter to the highest developed power demand. Namely the thinking of brain of man.
Now, how can we show humanity to people? Did we do already show? The first thing we can do is to Help encourage your humanity to shine ,Being human involves understanding that human beings are, well, "human," and flawed or fallible at times. It's also about trying to understand wrongdoing, and being immune to criticism, even if it's not what you want to hear or do. Despite the intense desire to explain away or defend, if their associates start by speaking directly, without judgment, organizations could really produce often more linked and long-time citizens,
Equally important, society is about expressing viewpoints, views and discoveries freely. It means not being afraid to understand and accept weakness and disappointment, and it's about accepting mistakes and recognizing wrongdoings. It's not the types of mistakes you make; it's about how you manage those mistakes as an ordinary person, and the organization as a whole. Next is be Genuine empathy model From a practical point of view, this implies first considering the perspective of the customer-"what "they express and" why "it is important to them . regardless of his concern and how vehemently he expresses it. And, no matter how often or what he buys. It's all about listening to each and every customer, understanding his emotions, and communicating good intentions.
To express true empathy, it is important to remember that everyone always you come into contact with is a doorman. You can asko Show Gratitude because Gratitude is a powerful way to show people that they will be valued by you, and it's often ignored.
Hope for humanity can Express empathy and humility All people, no matter how much they invest or how long they've known you, want to be treated with respect. In each and every interaction, they expect respect . from the very first to the last. Truly loving your people implies displaying compassion, understanding and humility.In order to compare to others, humility is about being self-aware and non-judging. And that's what we need to cultivate as individuals, for i concluded my perception i truly believe what NicteDeana.com that "Let's not lose hope in humanity, instead live help others ".

Understanding the world at large is not actually understanding much (and I don't mean this in the Socrates way)
Today after a night out with my friends, I ended up with a conversation about life and the beauty of existence with an older man who seemed to have lived a hard life (at least told us his last few years have been difficult). He told us about how he used to have it all, a pretty stable life with monetary gain but kept chasing numbers and how that chase always kept him dissatisfied. Everything was vibing, and we were getting real insight, until my friend mentioned about not being able to handle human contradiction and I started to ask him questions una genuine interest about how a man saw the world, how it was it for a man, specifically how can they live their sexuality so inhibited (“when you go to a bar with the intention to fuck, whether you do fuck or not, regardless of the outcome, do you ever feel shame at all for your action at all?”) he went around in circles and started talking about how we are all animals and we have instincts and mentioned how he does think I am hot and would fuck me. I paid this last comment as no mind m, seeing as I understood he was trying to further the point about how we’re both wired to reproduce, in our most primal level. This I understand fully, and my understanding of this led me to completely let slide the fact he especifícalo kept mentioning us in a hypothetical sexual scenario. Slightly offended, but for the sake of the conversation I understood. Then I asked, going off this point, if we’re both understood to be wired to reproduce, why is it then that men don’t feel shame and are so inhibited about their sexuality and women aren’t? Or if it’s a neutral process of just reproduction, why is it that the hypersexual outward expression of male is tolerated and rarely is questioned/censored whereas for women they’re placed in such extremes, but if they decide to be specifically outward, even in the slightest, this is automatically scrutinized and question by everyone. Since he kept mentioning how yes he would try to fuck and maybe men are mostly bad, and how sometimes he’s not as good and he’s the one to beat himself up and how he was raised as certain morals, which I agree are factors in all of this, he never answered my questions directly, do you or do you not feel shame or the need to self regulate your sexuality ? Then I decided maybe sexuality is just too sensitive of a topic, especially outside of a dive bar at 2 AM so I explain to him, if we all have masculinity and femininity and we understand that this is part of the wholesome of an individual, why is it that a the wholesomeness of a man is respected/acknowledged/taken more seriously/made in a higher manner than the wholesomeness of a woman? Why do women do not get taken as seriously as men, why is it that we don’t regard as women’s band in the same way we regard The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin (all male bands), and as a man, do you ever feel that you can’t accomplish your dreams, goals, that people question your abilities and integrity based on your gender?
Again, he couldn’t just give me that answer with that specific focus. It seemed his scope of perspective was focused on spiritually, money and morality at large, but he didn’t seem to begin to scrape the surface of what I was trying to ask hin. I was super respectful, very very calm and made my question and clear and concise as possible.
At the end our ride got there, and I said to him “I hope you understand I wasn’t trying to attack you because you’re a man or anything like that, but I simply am asking you your perspective as a man because I’ll never be a man and I don’t understand but I’m trying to” he said no worries and good night and that he loved us and it was all good and nice like when we first started the convo. But I felt feeling a combination of weird icky emotions.
For one, I felt like I just made this dude feel bad, when we started off the conversation on a very spiritual, hippie, “freedom come from acceptance of life,” and the general struggle of the highs and the lows, finding the mid point, how money and possessions can consume you, how you just learn to be yourself and appreciate yourself. He had called us beautiful and said he loved us and I believe his sentiment and I think it was genuine as I have felt those feelings and thought those things as well: the amazement at the beauty in each and everyone, in the world at large, how easy it is to love.
But when I tried to get into more specifics of understanding, I feel this is when the connection felt apart and led to us ending in a sour way.
Indeed, perhaps I used stereotypes and he used some women ones, but I feel I have seen this male behavior and I was able to accept the female behavior he described cause I have either done it myself or experienced it in my life, experienced it with people close to me and with people I’ve known. So there, I admit it, I believe, that as a gender, at least to some extent, I can admit to some wrong, I can admit to maybe having contributed to the catiness attributed to female dynamics, attributed to certain stereotypes, so if in wrong and you’re wrong, then we’re do we meet? But also, I felt I went as far as to say hey if I’m wrong, the alright, I admit it, but please let me understand from your male perspective how I am wrong. Meaning, if as a woman I am this and that then tell me with evidence. Or me, trying to relate to man, put my experience as a woman and ask “does it happen to you too?” If we consider we are more similar than different, then tell me so and be very specific as I will try my best to truly understand you?
And idk he said something about how men know they’re more similar to women than they like to admit or even let us know. I thought this was interesting but was not able to dig deeper.
I’m not really sure what I was trying to do, perhaps I shouldn’t have probed so hard a a single man’s view, especially since he could or could not be in a good place mentally, emotionally, physically, etc (he could or could not have been on a drug, idk), but the chance came to me out of nowhere and from the common ground that I have developed with him about the world at large and spiritually, I felt safe to even go there, in a genuine effort to understand, that it’s not about being angryfeminist and attacking and, and perhaps I could truly see where men are coming from and what can I do to better understand?
And like I said perhaps this was just this particular man, and I’m not going to put this universal all men judgement based on this sole encounter, but once again, when I tried to talk about gender differences with a man, especially the topic of sexuality, I simply feel like I am not being listened to, or at least that there is not as as much amount of effort in them to understand me as a woman in the same way I’m trying to understand them as a men? And in no way do I ever perceive them admitting to their wrongs, that perhaps, just perhaps we’re not just all angryfeminists but that we have legitimate arguments and valid views that are actually observable and are things that as individuals MEN NEED to take accountability for and perhaps don’t feel so self-assured in continuing such behaviors and being so fast to point the finger elsewhere and be in complete denial about the whole thing.
I don’t know how I feel, I feel conflicted cause for one I felt it pointed to the limits of my empathy, and felt narcissistic that I felt sad because it showed that I am actually shallow. Second, I just felt so confused as to why isn’t anyone explaining things to me when I’m communicating in a very neutral, objective way, based on your experiences, as in trying to understand very specific angles to this whole confusion in gender politics. I was so confused that blanket statements that kind of related but not entirely, were used to answer me. I was so confused that I was saying HEY I COULD BE WRONG, I just wanna know how it is for you, I was not receiving answers. If I’m asking you how and why, it’s because I don’t understand because my experiences did not give me true opportunity to see through those lenses, but you bet that I will try my damn best to come to that understanding regardless. So please, literally explain this to me as you would to a child. Be fucking specific, give me evidence. Say it all, I want to know.
I feel better now talking about it. I think perhaps I approached it wrong but now I feel like the whole “the world is a beautiful place, all is love” universal hippy feeling is just shallow and as self-congratulatory and useful as its opposite racist, hateful and all-phobic counterpart is. What good is universal understanding if you just overlook the specific context ?
I feel that that universal understating and love is the first step, and probably a feeling that drives you, feeds your soul and overall is amazing and should be respected. It’s necessary and it shows the genuine kind heart of the human soul. Nevertheless, I do not think this is enough. You cannot say you love everyone and accept everyone and tell me you know absolutely nothing about who everyone is. Can you truly love someone you don’t understand, much less someone you don’t even try to know?
I know I know, this is probably exaggerated as it is impossible to know everything, and of course that includes knowing everyone and knowing everything about everyone. I know my gender discussion excluded other individuals and experiences from queer folks, non-binary people, LGBTQ+, and I didn’t even touch upon class or race. With this man I saw someone who was more or less similar to me, middle class, cisgendered, straight, I disregarded race because I was interested to see what this man had to say as a man and what could I do with those views to better my understanding of women and how society views them (and like I said, consider the possibility that perhaps just maybe I was being too sensitive or I’m not being judged as harshly as I feel, or I’m just in one way or another wrong, and holding a faulty view that came as a result of a faulty belief.
But I feel frustrated. And at this point I don’t think I ever saw any worries in this man to self-regulate and take personal responsibility of himself than I do as a woman. And nowhere did I feel my questions were truly being answered even as I stood there with open arms, ready to accept any answer, as long as it was his truth to what I was asking him.
No. So now I don’t know. I just feel like saying a big NO. Not even in anger, not even in a fuck men or fuck the patriarchy type of way, but in a NO I will not tolerate this any further. no.
I’ve tried so hard, crossing so many times beyond the point of naiveness, but I just feel so frustrated that the weight of actions inflicted upon me are placed UPON ME. Meaning it is I as a woman who has to self regulate my primal instincts and emotional, expressive needs and be understanding of the outside world when the outside world does absolutely nothing to understand me and regulate its negative actions it has on me based on my gender.
And sorry if his parallel is wrong, but never did privilege seem to click, and white privilege, and rape culture, and the inability to truly understand another based on the fact that it has never and will. Ever happen to you (tell me, do white people truly understand the extent in the historical pain felt by Native Americans and Blacks? Do men truly understand the extent in the historical pain felt by women? Do the rich a wealthy ever understand the extent of the historical pain felt by disadvantaged countries that came about as a result of capitalism ?)
Idk but this conversations touched upon a lot of subjects and it truly cemented the fact that this society doesn’t make any sense, and that’s not just a nihilistic wushu-washy “but fuck it we all try to live the best way we can’t without ever knowing wtf we are doing” but in a more concise and extremely revelaba point that it makes no fucking sense to marginalized groups people, it makes no fucking sense to place money above life, human life and nature, hell planetary life, that it makes absolutely no fucking sense to continue in such a consumerist hyper-anything never ending gaping hole of an existence with no absolute regard, true regard, to the life and the people that have been long before us and that are directly affected negatively by all these absurd systems and ideas we all hold so dear a mighty as a way of living.
NO.
