Do we deserve people, who appear in our life? There is an opinion, that we meet people, who largely equate our character. If somebody is jealous - it means we are jealous, somebody is picky, distrustful or intorelant - we have this thing in our character. Other people are our reflection. So, to have better people in our life, we have change ourselves. What do you think about it?
I don't think that it's true. Sometimes evil people are surrounded by good company or on the contrary kind man has relationships with malign person.
a quotation of Mark Twain, some kind of this: "I'm not a person, who do you see in me, I'm a person, who I see in you". Very very nice citation and this is so true. Just imagine: You meet a person who is for others the bossy, moody, intolerant, but on other hand he - she is the hardworking, generous, loving too... If you make a decision to pay attention for his - her good merrits - you are speaking about your good merrits too. It is why is so dangerous to notice and mostly to speak about bad merrits of others - because at same time we are speaking and therefore imputing or laying on us their bad merrits.
Nice topic.
To my mind it would be quite boring if we were too "equal" to the people close to us
It would be rather pedantically to analyze your metaphor (the reflection), but I like it and can't refrain! ;)
In our 3D reflection only two dimensions are equal to ours, the third one is a complete opposite (furthermore - with negative sign :D).
It seems to me very appropriate ratio: two thirds equality ( quite enough for most of our world view, interests, and so on ) and one third difference (even with negative sign ;) ).
Yes, I am asking the same question: Why nut?;)))))))))
Then I deserve nuts!;)
OMG!
