The Problem.

You see, "the problem" is not the problem; "the problem" is your attitude towards the problem.

When you find someone that has a different opinion than yours about anything, and the thing cannot be settled via an objective source, people can agree to disagree. And even is there is an objective way, you can also agree to disagree. Lemme give you an example to better explain myself.

My bro and I are both football fans, that kind of guys that will even cry if their team wins or loses an important match; the only thing is, he's an England fan, I'm a Germany fan. If you ask us which team is better, we are not going to agree on that, because the answer it's going to be based on what we love... He's gonna say that The Three Lions roar harder and I'll say that The Nationalmannschaft is better in every way; so we would need an objective way to settle this. Germany has 4 World Cups and 3 Euro Cups while England only has 1 World Cup... Germany is better, right? Well my bro will say no... AND IT'S OK! We can agree to disagree, like grown ups.

"The problems" rises when the whole agreeing to disagree thing falls apart.

And how does it fall apart? When one of the parties involved fails to acknowledge the right that the other party has to disagree. That creates a problem and the "offended" party then won't let go. They can't! For that party, the other guy is wrong! IS as simple as that, but that simplicity prevents them from seeing a simple truth....They can disagree and go on about with their lives.

Then "the problem" gets bigger.

Because if people can't agree to disagree they will begin to give the matter too much importance. Every little detail will become an offense. Every little thing will be judged, oh so harshly. Every joke would be like an insult.

Has this happened to me?

Of course, why do you think I'm writing about it? I like to live my life in the most relaxed way possible. Why complicate myself with shit when I know that A.- Life is hard, B.-Life is harder on my country and C.- Nothing good ever came from living so stressed that you then can't see the forest for the trees. And that IS "the problem"; people that are intense like that, complicated like that, can't let go like that... They, well... they bore me... They annoy me eventually. Because why take a stupid FB comment and turn it into what it's not? Why take something someone says or do and judge that with self righteous fury without even question why that person said or did that? It's bothersome man, childish even, it's stupid... universally stupid.

What should you do about it?

Beats me. I don't know and this is not about me trying to tell you what to do. Who do you think I am, one of those Cyber-Nietzsche motherfuckers? I just wanna leave this here for future references, so that I can say that you KNOW all of the above and all of the following shit: A.- I do not like to be judged, B.- I do not like people being intense and fucking up my cool, C.- I will always agree to disagree (otherwise I would fuck up my cool), and D.- As of right now: Monday, November the 2nd 2015, 5:19pm local time, my coffee mug is empty and I need a refill.
