Does Comprehension symbolize Agreeance?

Misunderstanding is a common foundation for conflict.

But what if we do understand? Does comprehension symbolize agreeance?

A belief is personal, so the reasoning behind it is just that, personal. It is possible to respect others in their justification, because in the end, their reasoning creates their truth, which builds their reality. Understanding an individual's foundation for their beliefs, still allows you to hold your own.

The rebutal "You just don't understand me." is a lame defense. Even if a parent understood that their child did cocaine to escape from the pressures of school, they would not allow it. Understanding allows agruement to stand on common ground. However it does not mean you have to surrender your personal values to match their's.

Sometimes that is hard to accept. To have someone understand your motives, yet still not agree with it.

Silence...

Silence.
Do you hear it very often?
Silence can be a beautiful immersion of tranquility or an uncomfortable entrapment of desolation. Its all a matter of perception.

Without the interactions of the world around us, silence gives us the opportunity to look inside ourselves without interuption; a warm invitation to clarity, or in many cases, (this being one of them) overanalyzation. Without the concentration on outside noises, silence gives a voice to thoughts. But what if there is nothing to observe? What if the thoughts and memories held within are too painful to acknowledge?

In those situations, silence can be a painful reality shock. Therefore silence takes a negative connotation and becomes avoidable.

If you are wealthy by societal terms, the world outside of self becomes a haven of contentment. If a life is built exclusively around possessions and physical desires, you no longer take center stage of your life. So when silence encourages personal exploration, the hungered soul eats away at the heart. The reality may not be that dramatic, or perhaps it is not even reality. But I just wonder why society fears this delicate peace. Why does it seem to make so many of us uncomfortable?

Often times emotions cannot properly be expressed through jargon. Silence gives us the opportunity speak a different language. Our thoughts provoke emotions, and our emotions trigger body movements and mannerisms. I'm not saying we should all just stare at each other and twirl around to express ourselves, but many relationships lack substance because they're based on words, not feelings. What if we kept our thoughts to ourselves and allowed our bodys to speak for us?
Are we too different from one another, that our interpretations would be misleading?
Would it create a deeper understanding or a huge miscommunication?
Ah- this got a little too complicated and threw me off whatever I initally wanted to explore. Oh the irony of silence...it creates too much commotion!!

Is Pleasing a Form of Compassion?

what is nice?

When I take a step back and observe the everyday, I find that good deeds are constantly happening. From an outside perspective, every nice act seems just that...nice. But dive into the truth behind each of those actions and nice becomes nothing more than a facade.

Can deeds be good if they better a situation yet are intended for self gain?

As a high schooler, I am a witness to many "false" acts of kindness. The idea of popularity masks true identity. People become consumed with pleasing everyone and being well-liked that true opinions and values are replaced with sticky happiness and hallow acts. I will not deny my active involvement, but once you reach the top, everyone's so-called "love," feels incredibly vacant. So much of their "love" they seem to be giving, is just a mechanism to climb up the social ladder and hopefully, with the right amount of kindness, kick you off it.

It just begs the question, Is a falsified act of kindness still "good" because the deed is beneficial? Does the outcome overpower sour intentions ? I suppose regardless, it's better than cruelty. I am not a cynic in any way, but our society's emphasis on self gain causes me to constantly question the intent of everything.

What do you call a kind act, done not for the reciever but for the giver?

My Formal Introduction

As I continue to experience life, I continue to question everything about it. These questions burden my mind and will not cease to exist. Instead of having them take over my life, I will share them with you. I don't expect to become a huge, successful blog, overflowing with readers, but I want to hear other opinions and other points of view. Please, feel free to respond to my thoughts and give your own.

Before I start, let me give a little insight into who I am.

My name is Chloe. Growing up in a sheltered ski town can cripple the mind. However, my disadvantage fueled curiousity. Living in naivety simply pushed me to explore the world beyond snow-covered trees.

Living in a town that boasts of conformity, my passion for creative indivuality blossomed. Fashion became my form of expression and helped me find and mold my identity.

I have gone through heartaches and traumas, but who hasn't? And really, I feel blessed to have experienced them. It is my belief that we grown through the tough times. They create a backbone that strengthens character and verifies our ability to survive.

Each day I discover a new piece of who I am and question a new aspect of life.

I want to share it with you.

I am hear to speak as well as take in all I can!

So much of who I am cannot be expressed bluntly. I am not to be described but rather experienced.

I hope to paint a picture through my writing.

I hope you can immerse yourself in my thoughts and uncover my identity.

Make your own assumptions.

You are entitled to them.

However, as of now

I am nothing more than
