March Madness: Responsible and Irrational

Dear Friends,

My psych professor told our class than a true adult is when you are able to take responsibility for yourself and act like an adult. Well she’s so right with that point. Today we are going to talk about responsibility. Now most people would make sure before they go out or even buy something that is more of a luxury, you would be responsible and pay your bills. I say that because my girlfriend tried to validate something she did this past weekend. I will explain in my next blog. So do you think you are responsible? I know I have been. However there are some people that would do the following:

• Pay half of their bills and use the rest to buy a coat, or an expensive video game.
• Get a half tank of gas then use the rest of the money to eat out.
• Spend most of your tax refund on an expensive flat screen television.

My point is that we all have some responsibilities. We have to do things before we can be able to enjoy life. What upsets me is that for those who have to be responsible, there are a lot more that are not as responsible. What really pisses me off are those people who needs help but do not want the responsibility of the help.
What are some people so irrational? Why would someone get up at the littlest of things? Someone recently made me aware of the fact that some people are very irrational. In this world we live in, we have little to no patience to do anything. So we become very irrational when it comes to other people. So why could we try to have some patience? It is because unlike having patience, it is so easy to be irrational and pissy.

An irrational person is someone who basically doesn’t want to hear or understand someone’s views or point of view. So with that said, don’t you think everyone is basically irrational? I mean even celebrities are getting irrational with their behavior. Britney Spears, DMX, T.I. and Lil Wayne come to mind with their behavior. I mean even the mayor of Detroit acted very irrational because of the power trip he was on. So unless you really have patience in life, you are going to end up being very irrational and end up kicking someone’s ass. More to come.
