Irrational

I get really upset and worked up when I see someone make a decision that I don’t approve of. It seems like most people would brush it off. I on the other hand think about it for hours maybe days depending on what the decision/action was. I know it’s none of my business, has nothing to do with me, won’t affect me in any way, I also know that only because I don’t agree with it, it doesn’t mean that the action is wrong. It could turn out to be exactly what that individual wanted. It could be the best decision they ever made.

I truly understand that everyone has a right to live which ever way they choose and to have their own opinions. However, I can’t help but be bothered. Of course I won’t ever voice my opinion’s to anyone in particular, unless I feel it’s absolutely necessary, or this person is family.

I think what bothers me the most besides the decision being irrational, not well thought out, childish, and/or came out of ignorance. Is that I may see a lot of potential in this person. I may see them accomplishing their dreams, despite the hardships they are facing now. So it really hurts me to see them make such a stupid decision that screws everything up for them. It’s heartbreaking.

I suppose this deep concern for other people’s decisions, comes from the constant complaints I hear from adults about not being satisfied with their lives. Or the lack of love between couples who have been together for years and have children even grandchildren. Maybe if you wouldn’t have acted on impulse at a certain time, things would have been different. I’m not judging, hopefully you aren’t thinking that. I usually get worked up over the big decisions. Not dating the wrong guy, or taking the wrong part time job. I would give examples but then people would assume this post was written with them in mind. 

I know people make mistakes and I’ve made my share, but I can’t help but be concerned. Sometimes I can picture that person’s life in the future because I’ve witnessed it, and it kills me. But like I mentioned before, it’s not my business.
