Should I really care what other people think?
I’d like to think it doesn’t matter, but it does.
“There are three hundred and sixty-four days
when you might get un-birthday presents …
and only one for birthday presents, you know.”
Quotation from Lewis Carroll, Through the Looking-Glass
I don’t really care what other people tell me, if thats what they think, you’re not likely to persuade them otherwise.
So i just brush it off. or have fun messing with their head ;p
a fun example was when i was called gay and acted really camp and it made them leave me right alone ^_^
Reality for each of us is not only subjective but I think we predict our reality by what we believe and by our values. Then we die of course!
As for reality in the big sense, I’m some molecules put together, stirred to life and I’m able to look out my eyes and think and be aware. Am I capable of knowing ‘reality’? Doubt it, but the mystery of it all is pretty amazing.
You’re cool!
i think you just must be what you want!
whithout breaking any laws, of course

We should only care about the opinion of the ones we really love. What the others think is not really important.
Alexandro Jodorowsky once said: There is no place for rational philosophy in art, it only takes two souls talking to each other to make it work.
Jodorowsky is great artist but is downright insane, so who knows?
I think it shifts back and forth between the two extremes. I hate that. I want it to be MY reality.
Oh, I feel the same way… I mean not to care about it, but after all I do care..I guess most of people do:-S I hate it, I wish I didn’t give a damn. The thing that upsets me the most is when I’m misjudged, when I realize somene sees me for something I’m not. But I should just think : f*c* off, and let it go..
But I just don’t, blehhh Loved the duck in the title.
I wish I was able to not care
I think it’s something that comes with time…
It does matter. But you should not care about that.
I agree with you. We also should not let what they perceive of who we are to define us.
I find that my Mother’s teachings while simple, ring true. She believes in “The Golden Rule”, respecting others, that if you live your life well you don’t need a gun etc. I really try to respect where people live and find common areas of interest. As long as a person is genuine, of goodwill and respects others and embraces peace, I find that to be enduring!
Reality as Gary said is subjective. I like Michael’s Mothers idea and the other bloggers make good points How do we really relate to others? and does what we think about others really matter anyway ? Righteosness I think, ( given its true meaning) leads to a humility in that ( as opposed to self righteousness) it is based upon one seeing the good in others, not the bad, although you are aware of the bad.
Just as you recognize the good in yourself and are aware of your darker side.To know yourself.
That is to see yourself as you see others, the good and the bad; but already forgiven. I think what you think about yourself and what you think about others will continually influence your function in life. As Aristotle said a happy life ( note his expanded definition of happines which is more in line with purpose and function) is a virtuous life. To forgive another is to realease yourself from its hurtful consequence on your mind without condoning its consequences of hurtful intended or unintended result.
Best wishes
“It does matter. But you should not care about that.”
but we all do somehow…
I guess I always believe that reality is how I see myself. I can be my own worst enemy that way, because like most people, I am my toughest critic.
I like the idea of not caring what other people think…..but I do. More than I should. But it is something I feel that I’m getting better at as I get older.
Good one!
