where in the world did that come from, am I right?
But seriously this is in fact the best revenge, or at least something of this sort. I mean living well really?? I guess living well is the best revenge just like abstinence is the best from of birth control. Now I'm really off topic, I don't really know where all that revenge talk came from. It's not like I have an arch enemy that I will do everything in my power to eventually take them down, or do I???
No really I guess I started talking about revenge, because I was thinking about vengeance and vendettas and grudges this week. Now I know that all of these are different things but somehow they all kind of seem to fall along the same line to me. I brought it all up because earlier this week I talked to a great friend of mine. In this conversation we talked about all sorts of things, but the highlighted area was about fights with friends that end up ending the friendship. So I guess that falls into the grudge category.
Now because I am a man of great introspect and retrospect this conversation had me thinking about my own personal grudges of which I have so so many. And right at the top of that list is Katherine Heigel. I mean honestly I wish I was a woman so I could fight you because I think you are just terrible. And you know what Will Smith, you have somehow jumped all the way up my list. And I know that most of you that really know me out there, and I do mean really know me are probably thinking. "Isn't that the guy that Brandon says is the greatest rapper of all time?" The answer to that question would be yes, it is. But when Quentin Tarantio writes the role of Django for you Will, you take the role. You don't go out and make After Earth with you snot nose kid that tried to ruin a classic already. (The Karate Kid)
Sorry I know that last bit kind of got out of hand and believe me there are more, but that isn't what this is all about. I mean it would be interesting and you all out there would be surprise at who makes my list, but that is for another day. Probably for a part of my video will so that I can really let some of you people out there have it.
I guess what I really want to say is just, Go back. Don't let it happen, with everything you have in you don't let it happen. Grudges are just so, not worth it. I mean it just really sucks the life out of you and for what reason. I know I've probably said it so many times now but we are all moving in the same direction and this time that we spend on this planet, well we are never going to get one second of that time back. So what's the point in holding all that hate and unkindness inside? You aren't doing anything that is helping anybody.
There is this theory that I have recently come up with about grudges. And I want to take this time to explain it to all of you out there that happen to read this. So tell me or don't tell me if you think that I'm on the money.
Sooooo...GRUDGES, I believe that they are counterproductive to a person and really and truly for a lesser evolved person. Now I like to think of myself as a pretty smart, and pretty much all around awesome person. (That's true Brandon you are both of those things) I also think that as such a person I have been fortunate enough to become friends with some pretty awesome and smart people. And from time to time I get into fights with these people. And I guess in my younger years I would be known to hold a grudge in a fight that went too far.
But the nature of grudges, the nature of being so mad at someone that you don't want to talk to them, or see them or have anything to do with them just goes against all intelligence to me. You see the people that I'm friends with aren't just random people. I choose my friends very carefully, and the ones that are friends with me I would do anything for. I would run through a wall for them, and I believe they would do that for me. I know that sounds ridiculous but it's not to me. Because those are the people that I know, and those are the ones that I am friends with.
Now with all that being said, does it really make sense to spend all of that time building something with these people? Building relationships with people that would run through a wall for you only to let something happen that makes you never want to talk to them again.
I guess when I was younger and I thought I had all the time in the world it was easier, but the older I get the more that I realize just how important time is. So why in the world would I spend so much of my time building something with someone. Listening, learning, sharing so much of my life with someone if I could just get mad at them and not talk to them anymore. Because all of that time spent would be wasted. Time that I could never get back. Time that I could have spent bettering myself by reading books, or writing everything I could to better my story telling, or well anything really.
Anyway, I don't know, I guess I just wanted to write something about relationships, because I think that all the relationships we build are kind of the foundation of who we are. And I always find it strange or maybe a red flag rather when I see these people that so easily give up these relationships because of little things, because in a since I feel like they are giving up a little bit of who they really are. Now obviously I know that there are some grudges that you'll just never let go of. Someone sleeps with your significant other, hurts your family, etc. But for all the other stuff out there, I just say let it go. Because in the scheme of things, it really just doesn't matter.
