Why do we think about others?

In one of previous posts I promised to write something about our relations with other people. Why do we think about them? Why do we care about what they have or who they are? And what's more - why do we compare ourself with others? I think we all know the answers for these questions.
First of all - we think about others when we care about them. In this group there is our family, our friends. People who also care about us. We have a strong bond so it is totally normal we think about them and that they think about us.
Another thing is thinking about strangers or people we know but we don't have close relations. It is often connected with third question above. We compare ourself with them. If we are better than someone, we usually feel good. That doesn't matter in which part of life we are better. The most important is - we are better. If we are worse... There are to ways of thinking - we admire someone and we want to be like them, we are not jealous, we try to achieve our own aims. From the other side - some of us are jalous, they feel awful because they don't have or they don't are the same or better. This is our decision which way we decide to go. Obviously, jealous isn't a good way. It is better to admire and trying to do our best to achieve our own aims. 
We don't have to be the best, we won't be perfect. Anyone is. We just have to deal with this and go on. There is nothing better than being inperfect because perfect world would be boring.

The Hunger Games - Suzanne Collins

Image
I think a lot of people know The Hunger Games not because of the books but because of the films based on story of Suzanne Collins. I saw the 2 nd movie when I was in junior high school. My class wanted to see “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire” in the cinema, so I went with them. When I saw “THE END” on the screen, I was very curious what happened next, so I reached for the books. It took source me about a week to read all three books. I was delighted by the story. In Panem, every year children between 12 and 18 years old from have to take part in game which is a punishment for the districts because they rebelled against Capitol and the President. In every district by drawing is decided who will take part in The Hunger Games, it has to be one girl and one boy. When 12 years old Prim is drawn, her sister Katniss reports that she wants to be the tribute and replace Prim. Katniss is almost sure that she will never come back home...

Who you really are?

source It is not really easy to find your place in the world. We always looking for something and we often forget what is life really about. Not money, not fame, not power. It seems important while we live, we want more and more and it's never enough. But in life the most important are people we live with. Our family, friends... It is important to find youself, make your dreams come true. You will never satisfy all, that is not possible. The only person you have to satisfy is you, no one else. Unfortunetely, people often forget about that. They work all the time instead of spending time with their families. They pretend someone else just to achieve something they want or need. Stop here for a while. Think about yourself. Who are you? What you like? What you really want? Look at the mirror. What do you see? Do you like it? At first sight, these are not hard questions, right? Just in theory. Often these questions are the most unlikely. Why? Because we are scared the answers for t...

The Selection - Kiera Cass

Image
Probably you have already noticed that I like trilogies. Well, The Selection by Kiera Cass was also a trilogy. After finishing 3 rd part, Kiera Cass decided to write 4 novels which are supplement stories and then she wrote also 2 books about next heir. If you like romances, you probably like this history. source The action takes place in future after World War III. There is no more USA but a huge kingdom still divided on states. But in this world the society is also divided – by casts. The hierarchy has 8 levels – first is reserved only for royal family, second for guardians in castle etc.   America Singer is “five” that means artists. After announcing the selection and after long conversations with her mother she decided to participate – not for being queen or finding love but for family, because she will get money for every week she will survive. And what is selection about? For thirty-five girls, the Selection is the chance of a lifetime. The opportunity to escap...
