i’ve grown far too cynical.

about most everything.

i’m too judgmental of those whom i share things in common with.

and very far tolerant of those whom i lack any similarities with.

there seems to be little-to-no balance between the two.

i’m pretty tolerant of people with other faiths, politics, cultures, backgrounds, majors, interests, opinions, etc.

i find it interesting to see how other people live and think.

and i try to show genuine respect and curiosity at the very least.

i haven’t always been that way but i am comfortable saying i am that guy in the present time at which this post is being published.

but i am still a man of my own convictions, personal beliefs, opinions, etc that i take seriously. 

i’m baffled why my most unfavorable opinions of other people tend to be towards those whom i share the most in common with.

i guess it’s because i feel unworthy to criticize and cast judgment towards those that i look at as an outsider.

and quick to engage and challenge those that i ‘get’.

i don’t know if it’s bad or not. just something i have noticed lately.
