E 54: Loosen Up A Bit

We live to learn. In life, there are basic rules that we must follow because they are learned by people before us. Mistakes have happened and we don't want to make them again.
However, life doesn't give us everything. We can't read a complete book where all the things we ought to do are there. This is when experience comes into the scene. We will never really know what's wrong with something unless we experience it first hand.
Another problem comes into view. There are people who are so uptight. They don't want to make mistakes. They want to be perfect, they want to have a good image, and they want to make themselves believe that they are wiser than themselves. But being wise isn't hiding from the dragon; it's facing the dragon. How can one gain adventure if one's to only stare at it and laugh?
Everyday, we see people that we dislike, people who are different from us, and people whom we think are stupid.

But sometimes, these people either teach us a lesson--which is NOT to be like them-- or they exist to show us how much we are missing in life. You see, life gets boring without a little adventure. And, adventure here means challenging yourself with something new and having a great time with a problem. You don't go to a posh place, lie down, have a drink, and chill. That's relaxation--not challenging unless you are into financial adventure. You can never be perfect--might as well enjoy the imperfections in life.
That's why I see people whom I dislike, people who look and act stupid for me--but I don't want to judge them. I just laugh at them but in the back of my mind, I know that SOME of them are trying on something new. Life is all about learning, not trying to act learned.
