Wisdom Tooth

Living in a island far far away there are many consequences you have to face. The distance from home is enough to create havoc in altering your actual sense of who you are. Give it a few months the disparity evolves into being emotionally detached from the people whom presence makes a difference in selecting the right life passage. And the challenges (a positive sided subtitute for misfortunes) doesn't stop. There are people about in this far far land who are simply applying the Darwinian survival for the fittest approach. Manipulation would be such a toned down language to describe what this far far land has to offer. The pandora box and any asociation made to it in reference to this land will only undermine the context of its people's behavior. The island inhabitor communicates through reciprocity the simbiosis mutualism concept wrapped nicely to ensure the helping hand gesture. Ensures that the face to look so straight whenever the residents mingles and are prescribed to welcome each other wholeheartedly and despise them in certain cliques. To conclude this piece of rambling I must say that this islands makes me more mature and most importantly more wise.

But, hold your breath because I'm just starting to prove a pointless argument. And you know it means another set of rambling.

Supposedly, being more mature and more wise gives an individual better decision making, somewhat stable personality, and higher level of insight. However, in practice I often see those compounds as being smarter in manipulating the enviroment, an increased ability to disclose superficiality, and a set of perception emphasizing the negative intrinsic nature of the world. I hypothesizes theory and practice will always be distinct from each other due to the context. In a vacuum controled world the outcome of maturity and wisdom would fit the former. Sad to say, the world we live in is not flat. It consists of valleys and peaks. And those factors are the ones why the lighter views of life most of the time contrast with reality.

Trust me. Grim, is not a trait that I possess. Nevertheless, this dark posting may have you readers (I must be so arrogant to put in the plural form here) thinking otherwise. The matter of fact, I'm very happy, nope very thrilled to have found the one philosophical life question that I have been searching from my late elementary school days.

"How should your definition of yourself be in line with what you present to others and actually get others definition on yourself consistent with how you define yourself?"

And no, the above question isn't grammatically incorrect. It's just needs good IQ.

The answer.

Be a chameleon.

This doesn't mean being a two face backstabbing asshole.

On the contrary, it means you must be what enviroments entitles you to be.

Be genuine and show no tricks-under-the-sleeve-power-playing-blackmail to your true friends.

Be nice, authentically kind and do those acts with the heart of a good-samaritan-don't-expect-anything-in-return-of-way to your friends.

Be yourself, and 90% of the time disclose events of interest relating to topics BUT yourself and any materially emotionally connected to you when dealing with co-workers or any individual that are bound to compete with you.

But be very aware, and I mean very aware, calculate your every move, plan and change strategies depending on the situation, be tough, and don't get personal cause it may jeopardize your very sane judgement. And this applies to ALL three social groups I mention above. And I strongly refuse to call it paranoia and prefer the term cautious because experience has taught me backs could be turned against you regardless of your existing relationship with that person.

As a closing statement, I know although I've lost all my wisdom tooth which has made me gone through excruciating pain I still am very convinced that the maturity and wisdom I gained is slowly riding its way up on a hierarchy ladder. The more I live and experience life (and fall and stumble and crumble), is the only rigid variable to get a little step higher on the ladder. The mystery of life correlates strongly with encouragement thus motivating me to continue striving for live has always personally been a main buffer to endure every suffering I've gone through.

Thanks God. For making life unpredictable as it is. Amen.
