Human Nature. Why do i suddenly take this topic as my post? I dunno. But i reckon there are some things that are “NATURALLY” human.
- We tend not to be satisfied.
Yeah, who doesn’t? Simple example, back at Indonesia, how grumpy were you if it is too hot? And how bad is your mood when it rained endlessly? When it’s hot, we want some rain, and when it’s raining, we want sun to show it’s supremacy. Don’t mention about the gloomy or cloudy condition, because even though those two are in the “middle zone”, we still complain about the humidity or the wind, or whatever. Imagine what i am experiencing right now, in Melbourne, where four seasons can happen in a day. SuperLOL
- We tend to look at the bad side, not the bright side
Okay, let’s do a test. Try to think about things you’re good at, as many as you can, in 10 seconds. Done? Now think about things you’re bad at, as many as you can, in 10 seconds as well. Done? Which is more? I am pretty sure, 80% of you reading this post will agree. The rest 20%, good on you, you have a great self-esteem. . Which one do i fall for? The first one, i shall be honest.
- We tend to love challenge, or totally against them
About challenge, it seems like there is no “grey zone”. It is either black or white. Love it, or feeling disgusted by it. Some people really loves challenge, till they think that the “death goddess” herself is a childhood friend. Freefalling from Niagara in a barrel, living in a remote island for weeks alone, swimming in antarctic, not to mention bungee jumping, which is rather “normal” compared to the other. What’s next? Jumping from Empire State Building with only a rusted umbrella? Choking yourself for 24 hours?
- We tend to stay in our comfort zone
How many of you have considered to fight your “dictator” boss? Not literally, just argue him when he really did something wrong. Not many, i guess… . Because we’re likely afraid to lose what have been our most-precious : our comfort zone. We are feeling “safe” in a way, because we know a dictator-director means he will keep on giving us a position if we keep on doing the job he gave (sometimes, sucking is necessary :p). We are afraid to move out of the box, imho

So, how many of you agree with me?
