Life is too short...and people live it the way they want to

Something has happened recently which made me think about why people do the things they do. Like why do people fall in love? Or why do they fail to see what other people see? Why is it hard to let go? Why are there extreme conservatives and extreme liberals? Then I had an epiphany. I can't really answer these questions because I would have to ask each individual on this planet if I needed one.

People live life the way they want to or at least live it the way they think they should. They have their own opinions, their own ways of dealing with difficulty. Like when they seek the approval of others to come to a decision in their life, that is an individual trait. But then again, don't all people seek approval in one form or another whether we like to admit it or not?

Maybe if we understood each other more. Maybe if we had more knowledge or wisdom. The concept of right and wrong has been a vague one at best. But people who think they are right about something rarely question the alternatives. Why do people live life the way they do? Maybe its because they don't know another way to live it...life that is.
