Words Of Wisdom on 26 March 2009
| Hawkeye said: Words of Wisdom, its true that you can't "always rely on the kindness of strangers" but aren't there some friends that you can trust? Or are there always ulterior motives? For example, this one girl thinks I'm really nice, but I am also asking her to the prom, she might view that as an ulterior motive... but in fact it is not. Because I like her, I am nicer to her than most people. Also I am asking her to the prom because I like her. I'm not being nice just so she will go with me. Its hard to tell sometimes why people do things. |
Everyone has a motive or agenda for all their actions (otherwise we would not perform those actions). Often times that motivation is far more important than the actual action taken. Examining motives and the like is part of a little thing called "critical thinking" which people do not engage in nearly enough.
