The Truth is I like People

…

Sometimes I have to remind myself that I really like people. I like people who are active, who don’t need to be nudged, who don’t have to be told to do this or that, but who know what to do and do it.

I like people who are able to take responsibility for the consequences of their own actions. People who risk their conscience for the unknown in order to follow a dream, who allow themselves to flee from rational advice and reach for the stars.

I like people who are righteous to those around them and to themselves, people who are grateful for each new day, as well as for all the good things that are in their lives.

I like people who spend every hour in a good mood and show the best of themselves, even if the negativity around us makes it hard sometimes.

I like people who are grateful that they are alive, people who lend a have so generously to help others without expecting anything in return.

I like people who are able to criticize me constructively and directly, but without insulting or hurting me.

I like people who have tact and who have a sense of justice.

I like people who know the importance of laughter and smiles. People who, through jokes, teach us to take life with humor. People who never forget how to be a child.

I like sincere and honest people who manage to stand their ground and who listen to others.

I like people who have different opinions and people with reasonable arguments.

I like self-critical individuals who are not ashamed to admit that they were wrong or that they don’t know something. Individuals who, by accepting their mistakes, really learn from them and do not repeat them. I like those who fight against all odds. People who are looking for solutions.

I like people who think quietly for themselves. People who value those around them, regardless of how much the relationship with them pays off. People who do not judge and do not allow others to do so. I like people who have personalities.

I like people who understand that man’s greatest mistake is to force something with his head that the heart doesn’t give.

I want to be with such people because they enrich my life.

I like people, even though we are true creators of disappointments.

We often assume that others are taking advantage of us, harming us, or deceiving us. A simple gesture or a quick glance is enough to evoke in our head a whole world full of terrible ideas that, presumably, do not even come close to coinciding with reality.

We all make mistakes and are full of vices, but they are not what defines us but somehow it is our perception that seems to highlight them -in others.

I like people as much as I like to laugh.

At the end of the day, I like people who say what they think, but even more so those, who do what they say and think what they do. I value authentic people.

Don’t get me wrong I don’t like all people, but the majority I like, the others just seem louder, but are the minority. That’s something we seem to forget these days.

I like people! May I never forget that!
