                                    Everyone is Different.

I am an impulsive person, and tend to react very quickly to something that needs to be said or done. I recognise that this is not always a good thing, as sometimes if I receive some  news that I don’t like, I may act in haste, and repent at leisure.

Someone else in the same situation might prefer to ponder on what they have heard, and then weigh up the consequences before they do anything about it. Maybe I should try and be like that, but our characters are formed when we are young, and it’s difficult to change the way you are.

I am a quiet and shy person, I dread entering a room full of strangers, but some people are extroverts, and love to make a grand entrance, and be the centre of attention. There is a part of me that envies them their courage, and another part of me that is irritated by their boldness, but is that because secretly I would like to be more like them, but cannot because I’m not made that way?

But thank goodness we are all unique, as a room full of shy people would not make for a good party, nor would a room full of extroverts each trying to outdo the other  , and wanting to be in the limelight.

Thank goodness the world is full of people with different hair and skin colour, different aspirations, varying views on all subjects, and each area of the country is what the inhabitants call home, as it just would not work if we all wanted to live in the same place, and do the same things at the same time. Thank goodness everyone is different.
