well, if you're afraid to TRY, will there be any actions? without the courage of trying something new, will there be any new findings? trying something is NOT just wishing for it to happen. to me, trying to do something is one form of taking action. you wont know the consequences of your actions, you might succeed or you might fail, but still you try to accomplish your goal. and even if you fail, you should TRY harder next time.  |

@Angelyuki: Yes, I know what you mean. When I say that there's no "try" I'm refering to the mental disposition you have: Off course you have to try, because if you don't try then you won't know "what if"... It's just that you gotta have a possitive way of thinking, you must think you'll DO what you're trying to, because if it isn't like this then why trying?. Sorry if I didn't explain it correctly.   |

you are right Sachiel!! if we were too afraid to make a decission, there is nothing will happen. and we ain't got anything too. but the problem is lack of "Self Confidence". so we must try to make our self confidence strong, then we can take action for ourselves or for another people. to strengthen our self confidence we must keep learn this life. be Strong!!

Hrm, I don't know its so much of people needing to take action as it is people need to take responsblity for themselves. Naturally they want to be somewhat independant and not be told what to do - making their own decsions and doing what they want. Then they also want to self preserve out of, fear? lack of self confidence? selfishness? Hard to tell and it has to be a case by case thing. But then with these things they don't want to be responsbile if something goes wrong or their own unhappiness. There are different cases and such but this is the one I see the most. They do what they want because it gives them freedom and makes them happy in a way. However it's not lasting and then end up complaining how unhappy they are when they never DO anything to change it. (keep doing the same things nothing is gonna change!) For some is fear which is related to depression, others they might be use to being taken care of so they think the world is going to bend to them. Thing is once someone takes responsblity for themselves - for how they feel. It does give a person a sense of power, then if used properly they CAN take action to make changes. Most people just simply refuse to do so, which is frankly, immature. You have to grow up sometime. |

Another revived thread (that's 1 yr ago)... So, correct me if I'm wrong, we can and should make any decision that we like, as long as it doesn't bother anyone, including "let they do all the actions, why should I bother?", which will make us feel happy and safe^^. After all, humans live to help and support each other, everyone must make some kind of a contribution, although it can't be forced, as there are times we'll be useless and need help from somebody. Don't believe me? Anybody here that doesn't wish for a better Gendou? a better environment? peace in Middle East? TAKE ACTIONS... But if ur complaining about sth only u can change, by all means get your butt moving or keep your opinions to urself. |

i noticed from reading everyone's post that they're purposefully adding counter-examples. but you all get the main idea right? don't wait for the world to change for you and do things for you, why don't you change for the world? don't lose track of who you are in the process though. in the end, it is up to you to decide your fate. 
wooo maplestory |

Hello Saichel, remember me? *hugs* I'm in control of my life? I wasn't feeling in control when we got snowed in last week. It very rarely snows here and when the power went out I didn't know what to do. I didn't know how to start the generator. I wasn't in control the night I was assaulted in a parking lot. Someone else was there. Someone to protect me. There have been other times as well times when someone else was needed to take care of me, to make decisions for me. I can stand on my own two feet thank you. I can make my own decisions and take care of my self. Just not all of the time. Sometimes there has to be someone else. I'm fortunate... There is.  |
