Weak Minded Awareness

Sides, perspectives, religion, skin color, culture, all of the above are things that individually we all have. No matter how strongly you feel about something no one will ever 100% understand what exactly you feel about said "thing". That is why as human beings we communicate. If we had found a way to connect our minds and see through the eyes of our fellow brother or sister words would be unnecessary, and we would see nothing then. Only misunderstanding and misconceptions make us human. We try and portray perfection and right and wrong through our culture but that is also just a part of perspective. And since human beings will only know what their own personal true feelings are 100% we will never be able to reach a new level in which we would have to redraw the meaning of perfection.

Weak mindedness is a massive curse and blessing humans have. It's a curse because if someone else's actions effects you negatively you will feel inclined to approach this subject and express your distaste, whilst on the other hand it's a blessing because without it we wouldn't be able to show compassion. For example (personA) becomes friends with (personB) and (personC). Then (personA) talks about how it feels about some type of "movement" happening, (personB) might totally get what (personA) is talking about due to the fact that they share similar feelings about it. But (personC) due to human's innate weak mindedness gets upset by (personA)'s words and retaliates with some snarky comment to insult (personA). (PersonB) now having shared some of it's feelings to (personA) and coming to an common consensus("allowing [personA]'s words to effect it"), gets defensive of (personA) and attacks (personC) verbally. 

The whole idea of my way of thinking is too try and subtly allow myself to take on a role in which i don't allow outward negative forces effect my life path.
The only true end to the mind is death.
Torture and suffering couldn't tear my mind from my body cause even at my last breath the only person taking that breath is me.
